Term 3 - Week 12 Progress Reel!!!

So here it is my new progress reel!!! I might put a newer one later with a rendered version of my lipsync but I might just render it in a few weeks because next week I finally get facial controls. So Ill be working on that for the next few weeks. This again has been a great term. Thank you Dana for your critiques and extra time in the QnA's. Ill check everyone out next term.
Peace

Term 3 - Week 11

So here we are all done. I havent got my last critque on it yet but I did adjust the last things my mentor felt need a little tweaking. Hopefully, that should be it unless she finds something this last time around. So I didnt have much to do this week. It gave me a chance to play with the rendering. Im not sure if Im happy with what I came up with. If Im happy with it, Ill put it in my progress reel.

Term 3 - Week 10

Ok so Im pretty much done by this point. Just have to correct some minor things.

Term 3 - Week 9

Yikes!!! This was a super tiring week for me I was so shot full of energy drinks that I was running circles around my hyper son. Lol thats kind of a ironic statement. Anyways, this week I put in a lot of time so that I could make up for lost time during the previous week. I was able to get a lot done but still had some things that I wish I of could worked on some more.

The hand pose for this week is relaxed.

Term 3 - Week 8

UUUUUUgh!!! This week sucked mostly because my little guy was sick. I hate it so much when he gets sick. He's still a baby, well to me at least (2 yrs old), and when ever he gets sick I feel terrible because I can tell he suffers through it. Fortunately, during the day he was playing around and having fun but at night my poor little guy couldnt sleep because his stuffed up little nose kept him up. One night he even got a fever and I had to take him to the ER. Fortunately again, it went down when we got there and he was smiling on the way home. If you ever see this I love you fatboy!!! Well, since I only really have a chance to work on my animation in the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping my son being sicking this week was my main concern and I barely got anythinng else done. I was hoping to go into spline but instead stayed in blocking and just worked out some things that needed tweaking. I was lucky my mentor only had 2 minor things that she felt needed tweaking. Some more up and in the hips when he shifts his weight and she wanted me to give it a different ending. At the end of the clip it says "then her sister walks in" and Dana (mentor) wanted me to give some sort of reaction to it. I didnt get to that this week though. Well, here it is.


Oops I almost for got we also had an assignment where we are suppose to show anger through a hand pose. this is what I came up with

Term 3 - Week 7

Here is what Ive been waiting to do all this time. SOME LIPSYNC BABY!!! lol I was so excited to finally get the bishop character and wanted to have fun with this...The only thing that took me by surprise for the first few seconds when I was checking out the Bishop rig was that HE HAS NO FACIAL EXPRESSION CONTROLS, then I realized wait a minute this is a good thing. This way we only concentrate on the body. GREAT JOB AM!!! I later found out that the first three week of term 4 is where we go in start putting in his facial expressions. Im really excited about that. That should be hella fun!!! Well, here goes my first pass at blocking.

Term 3 - Week 6

So for this week we finally are going to get a chance to deep in some lipsync. Our assignment was to choose three different dialogues and act to it so we could have reference to work from when we get into the computer. This is the clip I ended up with
