Animation: Character with Camera cuts

#1

Hey list, I’m slowly getting along with my latest clip. I added some more
body motion and I cut the camera angles a little for a different look.
Hair still needs to be done and I need to add some “time” between the actions
but I wanted to get an idea of how the scene would look.
Shooting of guns will follow at end.
It’s a shaded wireframe so you won’t get a good look at the lips… but
they’re synched.

Pretty cool. Did you use the Dope Sheet function for the lip synch or did you do that all by hand?

I love the character and the animation so far.

There’s something shamefully fun about animating women, isn’t there, Mike? Finally getting to put all those years of staring at women’s backsides… I mean research to good use. Maybe Widowmaker and Roxy can have a pillow fight or a dance off or something sometime.

:beer:

There was only one thing that struck me about your clip (other than smoothly animated joints)… I like the strong pose leading into the turn. It’s the position that she ends up in that seems wrong. It’s like the momentum generated by the turn would still have her moving in that direction or at least leaning or something. Widow manages to come out of the turn very in control and pretty much balanced on both feet.

Tell me, is it McKnuckles’ ass she’s about to kick?

thanks for the reply, I animated the lip shapes by “hand”. I did the lip synch, seems like over a year ago…but never really used it. It was really wierd… I was in a zone one night after work and I banged it out in like 25 minutes.

Hey, thanks. I remember you mentioning you like her before too! Maybe we could arrange a meeting for you… You might wind up dying… but you could meet her!!!

Hillarious! I should have a phd in that rear end research!!! Yeah, I still have to polish off every single aspect of the animation. I find that I can add the most impotant details after I’ve gotten most of the work done. Like adding head snaps and body weight.
btw, the pillow fight thing is a great idea!!!
