Class 1 - Week 10

Week 10 has come and gone so quick, it was a bit of a tough week for me as the internet in our area was out for 4 days, so i missed my lecture and all the awesome feedback from my peers. Lucky i have family near by so i could hand in my assignment for the week. This weeks task was from a side view come up with a personality walk.....and also to Pose STU in an EXHAUSTED pose. In the end i handed in a frint view as well as i was pretty lost with my walk...just was not working out.

Class 1 - Week 9

Week 9 is gone.....aaahhh only 3 weeks to go of Class 1, can not believe it. This week was pretty full on, it was a follow on from last weeks lecture. Our task this week was to smooth out our Vanilla walk and also pose STU the topic for the pose was CONCERNED.

Now you may think that converting a cycle to spline is easy....just push a button and that's it....well it's not that easy. It was a real pain, especially all the knee pops which with the character we had is very noticeable.

Also this week had a Q&A with Jill Culton who works for Sony Pictures Animation as a Director, she started out as an Animator/Story teller at PIXAR. Really great person to speak to, she gave us all some awesome tips on acting, story telling and show reels.

Class 1 - Week 8

Week 8 has come and gone, these last few weeks have flown by. For this weeks assignment we had to block out a Vanilla Walk....Vanilla Walks basically mean "a walk without character". This is a great way to learn how the body work during a walk, and let me say even though we had to submit our blocking this week and refining next week, there was still a lot to consider.

Also we had submit a pose depicting STRENGTH, i really tried hard to get away from the cliche strength poses you see (characters flexing muscles, working out in the gym etc). I feel the pose i have submitted is ok, but i think i could have pushed it a little more.
