Internship Work #7

 

(time taken: 1 day total)

This single shot is part of a much bigger scene, involving a caveman chasing an animal. Here, we were given a different storyboard for each shot. Like the scene with the kids, we have to base each shot off of the given storyboard. This particular shot is based off of this storyboard:


Here, the caveman has found some fruit on a tree, and he is reaching out to get them.

I added an additional scene at the beginning, showing the fruit on the tree. We then cut back down to the caveman's perspective, as he's looking up at the fruit. This shows the caveman's goals in the shot, 
without having to show the caveman himself.

In the next shot, the caveman will find something more lucrative to chase after. So I decided to show the caveman climb up the rock, but not up the tree itself. In the next shot, he will notice that more lucrative option just as he's about to climb up the tree and decide to chase after it.

Full Caveman Scene - Internship Work #10

Namely, the addition of the POV shots at the beginning, as well as a change to the shots where the caveman is carrying the animal. See my previous blog entries for the work process.

Internship Work #1

(time taken: 2 days total) For the first work I had to do for my internship at Image Creative, I had to animate a butterfly going from one place to the next. The butterfly had to think for a moment before it landed at the second place. I used Truong CG's 'Boxy Butterfly' Maya rig for the shot, as it was the only butterfly rig that was readily accessible to me. Prior to this shot, I had created two test animations using the rig: a flying cycle, and another basic shot. With these two tests, I had learnt how the rig worked, and how I can use it. Butterflies are naturally very lightweight, and fly very quickly, due to their nature as small insects. This, along with the fact that the scene was staged in such a way that we can't see the butterfly emote, presented a challenge to show the pause in thought that was required for the shot. The exaggeration and anticipation principles of animation were necessary to convey the desired feeling for the shot. The flight pattern of the ...
