Week 4

Week 4

In the fourth week of my internship, during the progress that i submitted for week 3, the video was rejected because the head of department comments that, the animation are not smooth enough because the character is static and i do as they said because my task only to animate mouth and whenever i asked that if i can animate facial expressions a bit, they did not give me the permission. They asked me to do another study and research about the shape of mouth and dialogue. Furthermore, I took the initiative to propose another idea to my supervisor which is animated lip sync based on dialogue, and my supervisor approved it. I did that for the whole day and later on it was rejected by the end of the day.

Tuesday, since they were running out of time, they informed me to hold lip sync and do a walk cycle. There's technical issues before I started to do my work since the files cannot be opened because of different software versions. It took a lot of time that was wasted because the person who was incharge to transfer the character files needed to reinstall the old version since the company insisted on using the 3.4 version. Few minutes before lunch, I got the files and I started to do the walk cycle. The walk cycle was rejected by the end of the day.

On Wednesday, I pick up where I left off on Tuesday which is my focus revolves around the process of animating the walk cycle. It was stressful, because whenever I animated the character, it's still not smooth and I don't know why. Thursday, I redo the whole process of walking with personality and I spent the whole day trying to make it smooth but still did not work it. Later on, I was called into another meeting. During the meeting, I was told that the Ida walk cycle needs to be finished by this week, which is 3rd November, and Ibrahim by next week, which is 10th November. Finally, on Friday I continued to finish the Ida walk cycle for the whole day.
