Most of my work is almost done and this week has been about handing over to my team members. I have also been working on resolving any problems that have arisen during the production.
This week Yang told me that when he was working on the animation, he noticed that a few parts of the girl’s hair were going through the mould. I think this is the problem I had with the hair styling last week. I made the adjustments and gave him feedback.
There are many factors that go into evaluating a film for the audience, but in terms of audience satisfaction, they can be broadly divided into:
Through this thesis, I would like to explore the link between happy endings and audience satisfaction in commercial cinema by looking at these dimensions.
The girl’s decals were completed this week. Also, after talking to the group, the hair was adjusted to make it more neat. Also handed over to the rest of the group.
This week the female character’s UV was adjusted and a replacement texture for the jumper material was made via ZBrush.
Finished the mapping and textures for the male characters this week
Got the scene progress on CHEN this week and the results look great
This week I started on the girl’s model and also added a travel bag to the girl to better fit her characterisation
This week, I adjusted the camera position and did some basic animation blocking
This week we have a new task, this time the main animation exercise is on the upper body and the movements and facial expressions of the characters. We also need to find a reference and sketch.
The reference I’m looking for this time is a clip from the Cantonese film As Tears Go By. I also adjusted the camera position and the rhythm of some of the action.
“joh zee doh nay zeh moh loh toh, sikh boh yuh, sikh suh ah nay”
This week the tearing animation of the bag has been adjusted and the character picks up the ice-cream. The overall animation rhythm has been adjusted.
This week the feedback from last week has been adjusted, the walking loop has been added, the prop effects have been adjusted and the animation has been made more coherent.
