Chat between Me and Dan

Chat between Me and Dominic

Final Reaction

This is dominic’s reaction, It was the first animation we completed in our group.

I took over as lead animator on Dominic’s animation because I made a rough animatic of his storyboard. He it would be okay so I started working on his animation.

Group

As the lead animator I decided to split the animation into individual files. The reason for this was so that if I import all the files I  could use toon boom version of tweening on them. But before that happens I had to give Dominic and Dan the animation files to do the in between.

I gave Dominic a couple of files to in between  he does so but, the in betweens being of model or drawn weirdly.

Once that was over I then gave the work the rest to dan to do. Dan ended up not completing because he spent most of his time either talking or drawing his hide dick fan art.(He had a inter day to do so but he just did a percentage and that was it)

So due to that I did the in betweens myself, Because I felt bad for doing Dans work I gave him some more in betweens to do. but at last he didn’t do it. So I gave up.

After that, I add all the animation together and coloured them, and that was that.

How do i fill about this short film annoyed.

Final Plea

Group

This is Dan plea animation. From I can remember Dan wanted it to just be him and I working on the animation.  He wanted me to do the inbetweens while he does the rest, I can remember telling to include dominic to it, but he ended up say something like, I don’t want him to touch my work, my response was why, he spalted up nonsense like, I don’t like him. When dan said this I was really annoyed with him because he was already judging dominic without even working with, I told him You haven’t even giving this guy a chance and already you’re sweeping him under the roug.

So once dan gave me his plea to work on, I did my part of the job, which is inbetweening it. Once I was done with that I sent a copy to Dominic, I told him to colour it and he did. And that was that. After that Dan then coloured the background and that was it.

I can’t really remember but I think we used the underlay and overlay things.

Final chase

This is my chase, I found it difficult trying to come up with an idea for my chase. The reason why was because I just could not think of anything that wasn’t appropriate for this project.

First of my first Idea for the chase was a cop and robber chase but I thought that would be a bit too boring, so I scraped that.

For my second Idea I thought of a large group of women In wedding dress chasing down this one guy, (I got this Idea from a movie that I watched at age 9 but I can’t remember the name). But I found this idea too daunting to make. My reason why is because I would have animated multiple people running making it cheaply was not something I wanted to doing.

Then came my third Idea, A guy sexualy assultas a woman by smaking her bum, she gets pissed and chases him down with her purse. This was going to be my final Idea but I was worried that people would have a problem with it so just scraped it.

And then came the final idea that you have just seen. It is sort of weird but this Idea wasn’t story boarded or planned, I was sort of coming up with the idea at the spot as i worked on it. Because I was not sure what the ending would be like I just  half assed it.

Group

I was the lead animator on this animation, Dominic was the inbetweeners and Dan would be the colour guy.

Once I was done making the key frames I gave the file to Dominic to walk on so he could do the inbetweens. Once he finished it and gave it back to me, I sure that a lot of the inbetweens weren’t that  so I ended up cleaning it up.

Once that was done I took up the position of being the background artist and I made the backgrounds. I made the background simple because I can’t make backgrounds.

Once that was done we were told that we could add a movie reference in one of our animation. So the group and I made decided to make a movie reference to the evil dead. Because I had never seen the evil dead and Dan did, we gave him the responsibility to make a storyboard. It took Dan 3 to 4 weeks to complete the storyboard.

 

This the storyboard that took dan that long to make  (I know, impressive). Once he finished it I animated the interior thing, The reason I didn’t give Dominic this to do was because I didn’t want to clean up or correct his mistakes.

One that was done I gave dan the animation to colour in. Dan did not fully complete it but I couldn’t be bothered to give a shit.

The format I used to make the animation didn’t have anything to do with the layer things. I basically created frame for line colour and and background. the reason why I didn’t use the layers thing was because I ended up cleaning up the wrought.

3D group work

This is my group’s 3D project, I started it

Model sheet

This is a model sheet I just recently made for the chase. I used the  colours Dan used to colour in the characters. Once I was done drawing the characters I wanted to test out a colouring technique I found online, so ended up using it in this. it didn’t come out the way I wanted it to

Dominics work

A lot of the work Dominic did on the group were in betweens. But he did colour Dan animation.

 

3D animation Evalution

This is the process of the animation getting better.

I worked on  the guy at the right.

Dominic worked on the hand toggling.

Dan and I worked on the guy on the left.

The left guys arm clips into the table.

The left guy’s right arm quickly jumps to the table or cube.

Both their hands snapshot.

The left guy’s right arm quickly jumps to the table or cube.

The arm is still quite quick.

With this one I tried to slow down the animation but I ended up screwing it up. So it started clipping through the cube.

I managed to fix the problem I cursed  and made the arm movement flow better.

This was meant to be the the final thing but I can see some problems in it, that I just could not fix.

Final 3D group animation

I took over 3D group work because no one on why team did. Dominic didn’t  because he couldn’t animate in maya. And Dan, I think was busy.

This is nothing much, I think this may be the most simplified animation we have made.

I made a plan on how I could distribute the animation work to the others. The plan was I animate one character dan animates the second character. And Dominic animates the arm wrestle.

I started it off by animating the one character, Once I finished I gave it to Dominic to animate, I thought Dominic wouldn’t finish the animation by Wednesday but he did.

Once Dominic gave the animation to dan it was his turn to animated the other character, but with this came problems, Because I told dan to animate the body I found it really annoying that he was trying to animate the fingers, facial expressions and what not.

So I told him to ignore it and work on the body, that isn’t important, But Dan being Dan he wouldn’t do the work he was given to unless  he fixed a tiny issue.  At this point, I just ignored him and worked on the colouring of our other group work.

Later on, Dan calls me asking me to help with a problem. I see the problem, I told him “I thought I told you to  leave the fingers till later”. he told me that He could not spline the character because it would affect the hand. I was really confused I told him  how would spline the in between affect the arm, he just said it did.

So I asked Dominic to give us another copy and he did. We finally got the problem that caused all of this, and the problem was the character’s hand was passing through the others hand and all he needed to do was just to push it back, and that was it. He broke the model arm just to that.

Later on, I sat next to him to help him animate the character, we do so until we reached the arm problem (It’s basically use trying to fix an animation error) we tried fixing it but we got nowhere. The first problem with it was the arm was going through the table, the second problem was that the hand started twisting and much more shit like that, up until teacher dan could leave it at a passable level or hide it.

As we were tampering with it, it started jumped at the last frames. So dan said why don’t we try to hide it, He tries to But fails at it because to me it a noticeable mistake.

He then leaves it at a camera angle and we watch it and I could see the jumps from point a to point be , but he said  it looked okay at this point I gave up, then told hem to give me the file and he left.

This would be dan version, Dan told me that that the reason the characters are floating is because he swapped between FK and IK. He also told me that he changed dominic’s hand animation because, reasons. The thing is when I was working on the animation I did edit dominic hands, but I only did it to correct some few mistakes I saw.
