FINAL PASS ANIMATION: POLISH - CHARACTER 2
This is the final animation for character 2 sitting in a chair and getting up.
Reflect: This final video initially started exactly like the in-betweens, and pretty much stayed exactly the same. I liked how the animation turned out, how the character was very stiff, proper and stuck up. The main polishing that occurred was making her actions a little bit more sharp and adding in more movement to her fingers.

IN-BETWEENS AND BREAKDOWNS - CHARACTER 2
Here is the final video of the animation with its in-betweens and breakdowns.
Reflect: Overall I like the final product of this animation. I have managed to get all the key poses down how i’d like them but will need to do a lot of polishing afterwards to get to a standard that I am happy with.
BLOCKING - CHARACTER 2
Here is the final video of the animation with blocking.
Reflect: Even though I had issues with the blocking initially, with my way of doing it the video turned out well enough. The only issue is, is that we are unable to see the video reference playing side by side with the animation to get a comparison and to see where the key poses are.
BLOCKING - CHARACTER 2 IMAGES
Here are the 4 key poses blocked in with the corresponding image beside it.
Reflect: Because of the issues with blocking within Maya, aka the image sequence not importing, I decided to do this another way round by placing the key frames beside the animation and animating like so. Even though this is not the way to officially do blocking, I had to problem solve and it seemed to work well regardless.
BLOCKING - CHARACTER 1 IMAGES
Here are the 4 key poses blocked in with the corresponding image beside it.
Reflect: Because of the issues with blocking within Maya, aka the image sequence not importing, I decided to do this another way round by placing the key frames beside the animation and animating like so.

BLOCKING - ERROR VIDEO
When trying to create the blocking and adding in the image sequences, there was a problem. I followed the tutorial given to us on how to import etc however when I follow the tutorial it only imports the first image and not the rest in the sequence. Because of this I will have to do blocking by having the images open in an image view separate to Maya.
BLOCKING - ERROR
Week 13: PERSONAL REVIEW
Review your story - Are your story beats clear and readable to the viewer
Review your poses- Can you push (exaggerate) your key poses further to make them more interesting?
Review your timing- Can you make your timing more snappy or appealing? Does the viewer read the action correctly, or do you need to spend more time on key poses? Could adding more anticipation make your animation more readable?
I believe my story beats are fairly clear and readable for the viewer and that they can understand and imagine the character acting out the action
I think I could have pushed my key poses a fair amount more to make them more interesting. I was mainly focused on making them look quite realistic which in turn makes them decent but not entirely interesting. I think for character 1 I could of potentially made her more hunched over and slouched and sloth like, make it more visible that they were tired and dragging themselves around. For character 2 I could o possibly made her arch her back more, make it look unrealistic, that she is trying really hard to be as straight and poised as she could possibly be.
Initially my timings after the in-betweens and breakdowns was a little to fast. With character 1 I managed to make the timing more appealing, that is show just how slowly the character is moving. Character 2 however, not so much, her action is a lot more fast paced then character 1 and I was unable to make it exactly as Id like, that is have the character slowly and methodically walking to the chair, turning around, lowering herself and getting back up, all in a call and poised manner. I believe the viewer can read the action that is occurring quite well with both characters, I think I showed my key poses well enough but there can always be room for improvement. Adding more anticipation to character 1 could possibly make it more readable, especially when they character is about to plonk down onto the chair. I couldn’t quite manage to get that the way I wanted.
