LAUAN503 Weekly blog: for week of 1/1/18

Week of work for the Christmas break are mostly handled by my other team mates, but I also have taken part in the colouring process of the animation , as well as developed the palette that it uses. Moreover , I also did the remaining back grounds for Act 2, with major efforts focusing on the last 3 as those are much bigger than the rest in other for the camera to be panned around.Overall I really liked the palette I've developed, as it really helps convey the proper mood for the scene. The colouring it self was quite repetitive, but thanks to TV paint's intuitive copy functions, it made the process goes a bit quicker.

LAUAN503 : Study Task 3 - Strike a pose

The task of modelling the moon model my first interaction with 3D model again for this year. Fortunately enough, It was very much straight forward, exactly the same as playing with my figures in my room. Through doing it , I've learned to know where and how much exaggerate body proportion and poses in order to convey the most feeling , as evidenced in my posed model being able to convey much more of the correct emotion I wanted than the reference photos. Using Maya again was enjoyable, though it did took a few tries before getting used to the express keys again. Overall a very enjoyable task




LAUAN503 - Weekly update for week of 8/1/18

The final week before submission also concludes with the completion of the animation. Thanks to my team member's hard work and my own effort in colouring all the scenes over the break , we manage to put everything in place in this one week . shadings and all ( but not sound yet so that will the very final thing to finish this project). Overall the planning was really good and although I did have some doubts, my team members manage to get the colour base out on time and to a standard that I wanted. Moreover, in the crit for today , we also have fantastic feedback , including some final points on where we can touch up the scene ( re-adjusting camera colours and scene lengths ) and at the end of they , we have something that is high-standard , has good pacing and character, animation and colour- something Im very proud of.
