I began this week by key-framing scene 2 for the Kingdom of Masks project. I'm really happy with how I animated the fabric, as there is a looseness and weight to it which looks natural. If I compare the movement of this cape to a cape I animated last year, there has been an improvement.
I then moved onto Stacey's project for the remainder of the week. After the lecture on Wednesday, I began key-framing shot 3. I struggled with this at first, as I felt the timing was off and the angle was a little strange. However, after starting from scratch and filming some reference footage to guide me, I felt I could get on with the task and it turned out okay.
After the weekly session, I started on shot 5. I really struggle to animate objects as I feel as though I can't add any life to them. It looks really flat and boring. In the future, I might add some squash and stretch to try and bring the item to life a little however, as this is a hair tutorial, I felt that wouldn't fit the style.
On top of that, I've always animated characters with five digits so, I struggled drawing the hand with one less finger. All in all, I'm not very happy with this shot. Hopefully the inbetweens can save it, as I don't have time to start again.
I found this week rather stressful, as I found it was taking roughly two days for me to key frame one shot for a project. This week I had three shots to animate and as I didn't want to work over the weekend, I had to work really hard to get the shots done by the end of Friday. Next week however, I have four scenes to animate, and the pressure doesn't ease off from pretty much now until the deadline. So the question is: can I maintain this rate alongside my other module and not break? Stay tuned!
