Kevin Vlk: Test 2 Revised

Hey, all. I revised my 3 second test shot based on Victor's notes: I increased the intensity significantly, fixed some of the posing and added the eye darts. I felt that the shot was just trying to fit in too much in 3 seconds to get it to read, so I put back in the original cut of the line which made it about 5 seconds. There is about 40 frames of new animation at the beginning to accompany the longer dialog. This is not polished. Looking for notes on timing, movements and phrasing. Royce did not see this shot as it is so my notes came from classmates and Victor. Thanks!

Hey everyone! Here's my revised blocking after Royce's notes. I unfortunately scribbled a bit too much and couldn't understand all of them, so I wanted to get out a revised blocking asap to make sure I'm on the right track. The splines need major work because of all the moves I took out, but like I said it's just blocking. I'll keep working on it, but feedback would be great. Thanks!

Jackie- revisions on girl

Here is my first pass at Victor's notes from thursday. I've tried to tone down the girl's actions, and have her mostly looking at the dragon. I did get a note from Royce on thursday, that in the beginning, she should be spinning around more to herself, more facing screen right. I've also tried to address this. Everything else I haven't gotten to yet, but I was just wondering if what I did do reads any better. Thanks for looking!

Jackie- new rough blocking and new reference

Hi folks, here is my rough blocking, followed by the video reference I'm using. I had to do this in reverse order, that is, I had to shoot reference, work in maya, then shoot revised reference again a few times. I'm still open to vetoes, but hopefully by now I have the shot visualized enough that if need be I can shoot more reference, then go into maya. Thanks for looking and thanks for any feedback! see you all in class!

Have you guys played with Morpheus rig? I'm trying to find the Lips roll control, but i can't. Thanks!

Jackie- new layout

Hi folks, here is my proposed new layout for my project. I haven't really touched the poses since last night, so I don't think any of these poses are final for blocking. Right now I'm trying to finalize the cameras and spatial relationsships between the characters. Please let me know if this is working any better. Thanks!

Jackie- Jane rig extra controls for Benoit

hi everyone, This is for Ben, for the Jane Rig. Assuming you haven't changed the namespace, when you open up [jane_rig:jane], open [:jane_controls], then open [:jane_face_scuplts]. You will see [:jane_eyebrows_sculpts], [:jane_eyelids_sculpts], and [:jane_mouth_sculpts]. Expand those groups out until you get individual controls. Each of the three groups has like 8 controls. I just select them all and create a select set, but you ay have a more elegant way of doing it : ) To summarize, it's [jane_rig:jane]>[:jane_controls]>[:jane_face_scuplts]> {[:jane_eyebrows_sculpts], [:jane_eyelids_sculpts], [:jane_mouth_sculpts]} And the controls are in those three groups. Feel free to comment if you have any issues with it! p.s. here's the website of the French workshop I was talking about last night; we're all students here so it's interesting to see what's going on out there. link
