Development

Week 1

Basic Animation Exercise

Bouncing ball

Speed too fast

No Arcs

create cubes as the wall for bouncing ball animation

going down

hit the wall

hit another wall

stop

Pendulum

Unnatural

Side Step(Ball & Legs)

Need more Weight

This week I have preliminarily completed three basic animations and received feedback on the animations. All issues will be improved next week.

Week 2

This week I refined and improved all three animations. The pendulum and sidestep are fine, only the bouncing ball needs more work.

Bouncing Ball

Arcs

Pendulum

Side Step(Ball & Legs)

Walk cycle

In my spare time, I downloaded a model to do a simple walk cycle exercise.

Week 3

Bouncing Ball Finished

Use Graph Editor
Timing

To fast/ need more arcs/ graph editor needs more work

finished

AnimChallenge

Use the character model in Arcane for 3D animation.

There two models can be use as the main character and I choose only use Jinx as my animation character.

Week 4

AnimChallenge : Jinx

I chose to only use Jinx's model for the animation, and the animation mainly revolved around Jinx interacting with her pistol.

Camera Angles
Create cube models as the chair
Block key poses

Research and learn some of Jinx's facial expressions and movement habits through animation clips.

Week 5

Splining/Refining

Keep working on Jinx animation. I add more details while she interact with her pistol.

I focused on the hand-gun interaction animation, and the hair clipping issue. I also added some animation for her bangs to sway as she moves.

Week 6

Polish

I added facial expressions and added more details to the hair.

Arcane Animation

After getting the body animation works I add lighting and camera angle on it.

Guest Speaker - Passion Picture/Strange Beast

It talks about the animation production process and the division of labor between animators. It also mentions things that an animator needs to pay attention to.

ANIMATION :

Action, performance & expression
Tightens up timings
Transitions & morphs

THINGS TO CONSIDER :

Syncing up shots & camera moves
Key poses (check style frames)
Field guides & framing (format guide, title safe)
Consistency

It also mentions things to pay attention to on the showreel and website that may help with future job applications.

ANIMATOR WEBSITE :

Curated lace for all of your work
Present hi-res images
Supporting material
BTS - Elaborate on process
