Animation
First, set the camera position. And then make a woman's character. Woman's expression divided into frown, talk, open or closed eyes. In order to reduce the workload, women’s expression has been finished and the methods have been introduced before. When do the animations picked up right expression. I found a video online that similar with I designed, can be used as reference. Open the animation record, set the animation time, and then began to do animation. First of all, to determine several key action steps, such as hold hand, the most important position can be as a key frame to set, it will easy to connect the action. When produce the character of woman is most important part are the hand, head and facial expressions must be coordinated. The method used dummy to do the head model. It can change to do the animation for dummy. Then the head will follow the dummy to move, this method is relatively simple. When do the animation, the good method is do some action by myself. Because it can help me to do character’s action more similar with the real. On the other hand the most strenuous part of the hand movements because each finger needs to move. I also choose dummy method to do this action. I contact the dummy with each finger and then do the animation to dummy. However, each part will need careful and mortify. When do these actions I use my finger to do some action and then recorded it. And also refer to the downloaded video, pay attention for each frame of action. It also does frame with the video. This part takes a long time to complete, because the head movements, hand movements and facial expressions need to constantly experiment.
Make the two boy’s animation. Two boys head need to move therefore when head to move, the eyes must together with the head. It is also selected to the dummy to do animation. I put the dummy before each eyes and then put the two dummy together. When do the animation, it can be change to do the dummy’s action. The two boys’ expressions have been finished, just picked up from the model into a frame. The method of boys hand movement is the same with women's hand production. To do this scene is spent more time. First three characters’ actions are complex, for example. The hand movements are more difficult to control, need to research and production again and again. And also need to observe the action of the film.
I will show three key frames in this lens:
In the lens two, the movements are similar with the first lens, but adding some details in the action to make the action looks more coherent. In this part there are many action need to do so after skin the model, I copy a set of models. And then do some different facial expressions and movements, for example, close and open the eyes, because when do the animation these small actions are not easy to make. Therefore, I have done it before do the animation and then pick up the action in frame, while reducing production difficult.
Lens three is mainly to woman’s action. In this scene the woman’s action is similar with the lens one so I copy the key frame. The main difference is the lens. In the lens one the camera mainly shoots the side of woman but in the lens three is shoot the front of woman.
