Week 3 already....man time passes by fast, Ok so this week we are required to move into the next stage of Blocking....Blocking Plus. So what is the difference between Blocking and Blocking Plus well in Blocking you are wanting to try get your idea across to the director in minimal poses, what i mean is not adding Ease in/out, Overlap, Over shoot etc and for Blocking Plus this is where you add all your little bits of extra goodies....also the final stage before converting to splines.
So this week went back and watched my reference over and over again to make sure i have not missed anything but one thing i want to stress is do not copy your reference frame for frame, your reference is used as a guide and to give you the idea of how the body works...then when it comes to planning you push your sketches even more them translate them into MAYA. I really am liking this method of animation it is real beneficial and each day i am learning more and more....AM ROCKS.
In our Q&A Mike and I put the class through a KISS album lecture or debate, the class just sat there while Mike and i were going on about our favorite KISS albums....Mike is such a cool guy he ROCKS.
Rock On
