Just a quick mid-week update on my shot. Mario told me to “go wild” with the asymmetry and elasticity of the face in my critique, so hopefully this is moving along the right lines:
The second clip shows the new version (left hand) against the version I handed in on Sunday (right hand) – I know it’s hard to see a difference (especially when Flickr won’t let you can’t frame-by-frame it), but trust me, they’re pretty different!
I showed this to Mario in our class Q&A yesterday afternoon and it seems like I am going in the right direction with the cartooniness of the face. Mario seemed happy with what I’ve done and told me to push it even further (which I have actually done already – I playblasted this late last night), so that’s good!
We’re meant to be finishing this shot by Sunday and as I said previously I’m actually away this weekend, so I don’t have much time left. The things I still need to do are:
- Animate the tongue
- Check the jaw/lip bounces on the “can’t a girl” phrase
- Clean up the facial anim curves and add some subtle lip overlap
- Adjust the hips and line of action for the end pose
- Clean up the head movement at the end
- Ensure the head movement propagates down the body
- Any final tweaks
Not much to do then! 8)
Let me know if you have anything to add to the list!
