Weekly Reflection

So this week i've begun animating our sales-man.  I'm trying my best to make him feel like a real person to the viewer. We chose the ACME Rig, mainly because of how stressed he already looks.  Mckenna has been working on the walk cycles, and Skylar  has been working on a extra environment for the animation

Reflection

I have been working on the walk cycle for the goon this week. It is working out pretty good so far, thanks to Mr. Elmore. I will probably finish it next week and move on to something else.

Weekly Reflection

This week I worked on one of the backgrounds for the infomercial and I'm almost done. All it needs is a few more fillers. Also this week our team all worked very hard and we are getting the animation done. The next objective for me will be to finish the background.

Weekly Goals

All the small parts for the animation have been collected, so this weeks' goal is to give life to the spokesperson of the infomercial and maybe start adding the background people to the set. We will need a recording of someone talking for the spokesperson but that can be focused on later.

Walk Cycle

Right now i am working on the walk cycle of one of our characters. So far it is going okay, I am watching a walk cycle on youtube to show me how everything moves so I can put in the character. I will continue to work on it next time.

Finished objectives of the week

I've  colored and rendered the set for the infomercial, Have any opinions on how the set could better? Put em' in the comments!
This week I was able to find sounds for the animation, complete the information page for the headphones, and create a credits screen that will most likely need to be updated. We may need more sounds too but for now I think we're good. The information page came out good and simple and I'm happy with it. This week everyone in the team completed what they planned to do. Everything is looking awesome and by the end we will have an awesome animation. The goals for next week is to start animating.

Weekly Goals

This week my personal goal is to find sounds for the infomercial. This will include clapping, short music bits, and just funny sound effects.

As a group we would like to get the set done, and all the rigs for the background people collected.

Weekly Reflection

This week I finished my laptop design in maya and completed the story board. This week we also managed to choose our invention and are now just collecting rigs for the background characters and the announcer. Every member of the group has completed their task, and everything is starting to take shape. When we come back from Spring Break we will start animating our infomercial.
