11secondclub Feb WIP

#1

I decided to try my hand at this month’s 11secondclub challenge to try to improve.

I’m about half way through the animation part. I think so far it’s going ok, but i’d like some objective opinions from some fresh eyes.

What’s going to happen is that they’ll be in a very sterile looking room as they’re talking. When she starts to say “… completely original moment…” later on in the dialogue is when the camera will start to pan out into a hallway and you’ll see they’re actually in a mental institution’s visitation quarters. Not so original after all…
If i have time, i want to animate a third character that you’ll see sitting bottom right of the camera in the hall, gnawing on his hand or something strange. He’ll notice the camera and in a cautious/dazed/confused look, start to reach toward it.

What say you?

Hi,
From want you discribe as what you will do next, I think u are going to focus on secondary things rather then the most important ones for this sound clip.
I understand you anim isn’tfinish, but I disagree when you say you’re half way there.
This is only my advise, it’s worth what it’s worth:

Focus on the animation part and only on the animation part, then if you got time left, take care of the room and third character.
I would also give up your camera pan, unnecessary and too discrating for the action. With this sound clip, it’s ALL about the facial/body expression. Come up up with nice, funny faces and anice lipsync and you got it. First, I would search for the best cam angle, fix it, and work you anim from there.

good luck

Yea i see what you mean about focusing too much on the things that aren’t that important.

I re-worked the idea a little. Got rid of any camera movements and i’m just having a doctor/orderly walk by and place a cup with pills on the table to still imply that they’re in some sort of institution but also keep it more simple.

Unless i decide to change the idea again and i bust my ass, i should have the animation on the main characters done by tomorrow.

So the woman’s animation is pretty much done now.

It took me longer than i thought to get the animation done, obviously :confused:
Hoping to get it all done by this weekend so that i have all of next week to work on the face and lip sync.

How’s it looking?

Edit: Just realized her left shoulder and arm are snapping all over the place during the “bla bla bla” part. Gotta fix that… blah.
