Prior to our weekly feedback session, I last minute took on some more animated props for people that were struggling with their workloads. I still wanted to leave them the ice cream prop because I feel like they will do a better job of animating it than me.
| Feedback: Props: Ball working nicely, nice bounce however, adjust timing to squash on impact, delay the bending of the kite, likes that the kite goes different direction, add additional frame in the middle. Octopus tentacles more fluid and waved. starfish good. For Monday, have a work in progress Comp to present to Nicky. Try to have everything clean and coloured for Monday. |
During our weekly feedback call I was given a lot of feedback on the animation of the props, this is actually very helpful to me and will help me make improvements. I am feeling confident about finishing the animation, clean up and colour for next Monday even with the additional props that I have taken on. I firstly want to incorporate the feedback into the roughs so that I can contact Nicky to ask for additional feedback before starting on the clean up and colouring.
I ended up sending Nicky the updated version and then we scheduled a call for feedback. Nicky suggested that I start with breaking the arms into basic shapes to get the volume and motion correct and then draw in the waves on top. When I draw the waves onto the arms I should start by following the curve of the previous frames until they split. Other than that she was happy with the other alterations that I made. I then started on the clean up and the colouring of the elements including the letters. I used our design image as reference for the colours I should be using.
