Rendering

It is a pain to have all the work and still not get it time because you had technical issues. But you know what at least I have managed to made an animation, on 3ds max- some thing I wouldn't never thought I could ever do. So I am grateful. Upset but grateful that I have learnt a pretty decent skill.

Now time to bring it to another level and get it to the best it can be :))

Animating Breathing

Here she is sad and I am animating her sighing.

Animating

Quote for the new story

“Patience is the calm acceptance that things can happen in a different order than the one you have in mind.” 
― David G. Allen


Been looking at a few quotes to fit with my new mime.


I thought this could work because:

- She is being impatience to find love
- She is hurrying to find to find Love.

Here's a feel of the Animation.


I am enjoying animating and finding ideas on animatin' and what will be effective and how it will look across to an audience.
I have even broken the fourth wall and try to get the audience involved.


I just wished I didn't have problems with my model bending and twisting in odd shapes. There were problems that the computer  will automatically change and twist my right arm- so in this photo, you will see my results of  untwisting it. However, it untwists the hand the wrong way and I didn't build her in such a way.


Nevertheless, I find it frustrating and hopefully in future this won't happen again and by this, I will poly to poly or  seek professional help to prevent this.

Running

Learning more to do with movements- looking at reference on walking and now running :3

Finished the animatic

Animatic done and rendered completed.

Last few days- been busy on the work and stuff around me that I haven't even notice that haven't been updating this blog!

I will now update you.

Acting out positions

I have constantly been acting out the positions, especially when they're complicated to get a real feel for my  animation.

It helps to use yourself as reference and timing

Such as breathing

How do you place you legs naturally when staying - I have taken this into mind and hopefully It will be able to show though my animation!

Change in Animation

Changes within my Animation.

I  have change my characters- I am no longer using my Male character as the antagonist- due to rigging problems.

 

So i am making my female the main character.- by that i have changed my story-line:

The new story line will be :

The Female Mime Artist is trying to find love but discovers what she is doing is stupid and you cant in fact find love.

Tittle

Simple


Red- Theme of Love

It moves but I can't show you guys, but you get the feel of it.

Animatic- Nearly Done

I hope the Animatic is understandable.

I really don't like the way my drawings came out a bit blurry -.-

                                                                 I need to add audio

Woman Completed

The Female Mime Artist.

- Completed- Now need to Rig her.

Then start Animating.

The Female in Progress

                I am planning to have the same style as the male artist- show a connection (perfect match)

               Displaying my statement- you have to wait- Don't rush to find love,as love will find you.




                                                                                    <3

The Male Artist.

                           Added a little bow- to emphasis that The Male Artist is a bit of a charm.

The Male Mine.

Militaristic is more in this case.

Simplify defines the play and the character itself.

Uncompleted Face

 Uncompleted Face.

I spent ages doing a previous face- didn't like it and all that hard work went out the window.

:(

But I shall try again, as I'm doing so now- to get a more improved face. FINGER CROSS.

Can not wait for it to come together!

Stay Tune ;)

The map to Find love- Has it ever tricked youu?

The map of Love- <3

I design it over gimp (Software)- I tried to make it silly,as possible to reflect how dumb The Mime Artist is on trying to find love- The Viewers may reflect on this- as sometimes people think its very easy to find love and as if its straightforwards- but in fact you cant find love, it find you.

That's the statement I'm trying to emphasis throughout my animation.

-I have used 'You're here', compassed signs for a realistic Map effect.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Here is a quote to put on the end of my Animation and Animatic.


QUOTES are such lovely, simple things to speak directly to an audience. As I want to inspire and make a beautiful impact to the viewers.

Pre- Rendered- Bench and Lampost

Its looking the way i wanted.
I wanted a clear scene with the colour scheme- of Black, white, grey and glimpse of Red- To connect with my overall theme- rather displaying a typical Park.

Workin' Progress.

Animatic - 2D.

I was working on this since Last Friday and now updating you guys on the working progress.
- I need to draw 2 more frames to add onto the Animatic,for the Animatic to flow.
-  And Add more effects.

Where is The Love?

Character Design in Depth.

The Mime Artist: Male

Age : 27

Gender: Male

Built: Very slim Built.

Height: 6ft

Outfit: 

Black and white stripy sleeves

with long black simple plain trousers

to go along with a smart simple black shoes.

A top Black hat to top the outfit.

Quite a Typical Mime Outfit.

- I have done this, because i want the viewers to think its all an act when in reality he is being himself, by doing what he is comfortable of being like.

Gestures:

 Big, expressive, Often sad. 

Personality 

Very Navie when it comes to love thinking he can just find it.

He gets excited at everything good, but also, gets very confused. 

He is nice and loves to explore- to taken his time to find love.

He is out-going and would talk to anyone, but he doesn't talk much?

(he just uses what he is best at- His facial expression and  body gestures to communicate his ideas).

Sign Post

This is the sign Post in My animation, which confuses the Mime artist , where to find the Love.


WHERE IS THE LOVE???


Definitely Making Him - LOST FOR LOVE. 

Lamppost.

Nearly done with the Lamppost.

-Need to apply glass instead of using a shape and changing the opacity- as it doesn't work, because the light doesn't shine through when i per-render it.

Made a bench In 3DS Max

Animatic In Process

Here's are the drawn images for the animatic I just need to improve on the drawings and add more drawings to make the story clear.

It's actually hard to produce a story to be clear for everyone- as you can tell I'm working on it! By adding more images and getting constant feedback from viewers checking if they can read my story! 'Does it make sense' 'did you understand  that' 'what does this image represent.'

Top Hat

Yes I have started doing some work on 3Da max before I have finished the  animatic. Just too excited.
