She Hit Me Update

Still not finished, but here is an update! I have worked in the last of my mentors notes form last term and I have swapped out the characters for the 'in-character' textured and clothed models.

Blocking Plus Plus...PLUS

Still not polishing, but you have to work certain things out before you get to that point. I am ALMOST happy with what I am seeing, just a couple of things some friends and my mentor Dave Burgess pointed out that I am going to fix up and then on to polishing!

She Hit Me! - Blocking Plus Plus

I am supposed to be done polishing by this point for my deadline at school, but I had to take the extra time to really be satisfied with my blocking. Which I am now! Just a couple things to flesh out and I am on to polish, then facial animation. I really love how the girl is driving the scene and the guy is totally confused. I hope the emotions are reading!

Class 4: She Hit Me! - Blocking Plus

Here is my blocking plus. I have made some changes to the acting and also added some more keys to smooth the movements out. The mouth is also blocked out to get some kind of idea what that will be looking like. I also took the first two shots into 1st Pass Polish.

I am happy with my progress and how it is looking so far. It will be interesting to see how this shot looks in a couple of weeks!

Class 4: She Hit Me! - Layout

My next AM assignment is a 2 character dialogue shot. I found some great lines and I narrowed it down to this one. I really like it, it's been a lot of fun so far! I think the contrast in characters is really great and the confusion and slap is hilarious!

This is my Layout Pass:



Here is my animatic/thumbs I did before my 3D version:
