Lip Sync Recorded

Look at my amazing voice acting hire me now at 1800 – Dr Hipman phd

So a bunch of us are putting our lip Syncs together as a criminal line up. This is my evil monkey doctor with a foot fetish.
Again super happy with the mouth movements and evil monkey grin at the end, but it still feels very rough despite me trying to clean it up. I’m still getting my bearings with TV paint, but I need this piece to be fully finished and I’m happy with it for the group project. So hopefully I can get that done before the hand in otherwise this will be the one graded.

Lip Sync Given

Messing around with shapes and trying to add a fun hand roll that I saw in a point and click murder mystery game called Tangle Tower. The animation in this game was stunning and it made me really want to think about little details and movements that can add to the personality of a character. So I tried to add in a little hand roll to show this guy thinks highly of himself pulse a huge reveal at the end. I put a lot of movement into this so I’ll try to make my next lip sync more simple.
Over all though I’m so happy with the outcome of this piece, I worked really hard on the lip movements and making it feel like he was actually saying the words. Lip sync was the thing I was most scared about but I think it might be something I have found I’m best at.
Other than that I do need to work on my shapes more, some parts still feel messy and could be smoothed with understanding base shapes more. Vanessa has a lecture on 3D forms coming up so I hope I can get some good advice on that.

Facial Acting

So this is part of a little passion project I’ve been doing in my spare time but I figured, I could submit this as my facial acting. It’s not the most obvious in what is going on cause it’s basically a section form the end of my animation.
If I have time I will try to do another dedicated facial acting piece but for now this will do.

Body Acting

So this took me about 20 hours, and I’m very happy with how clean it turned out but man it doesn’t feel like 20 hours work.
Again Steve’s advice for this one was to hold on the cigar lift and remove some of the downward frames so it feels heavier. Seems like working with weight is something I really need to work on.

Mood Change Walk

This took me way too long and I had such a hard time with the follow through on his bells, which Steve pointed out still doesn’t really work. But overall I’m really happy with it, there is an obvious narrative and I think it’s pretty funny as a concept.
If I have time before my deadline I’ll try to go back into it and fix the bells, but right now I need to focus on actually completing my other assignments… and this blog

Push Excerisie

So my first atempt at the pushing excerise, again volume control is an issue.
Steve pointed out that I need to add a step instead of the foot sliding backwards, as it makes the floor already seem slippery. He also said this is alot of work I only needed to show one push.
So as much as I’d like to finish this one I think its best for me to leave it here and move on, it was still a good learning process.

Walk Cycle attempt 1

So firstly the characters design, again I have a brain only full of My Hero Academia at this point so I tired to come up with my own hero character and what her power would be, so this design is heavily based off a sea cucumber. Turns out they can do some really cool stuff! Purify water produce posion in their skin, regenerate oragns. Imagine a super hero with all those abilities.
The Walk cycle was a learning process, I understand it isn’t amazing. Again I have an issue with volume control her arm and shoes change sizes alot. Also the walk is very stiff there should be more bounce to it. This will defeintly be the last time I use colour too as it just wastes so much time.

Jumping Excersie

Really happy with my first attempt at Jumping. Think I got a good use of follow through on his ears tail and scarf, as well as using squash and stretch that we learned through the diving exercise.
The only issues I think I have with this animation is I wasted alot of time colouring. The hands also have a tedency to change size so I need to work on my volume control. Finally the arms come down quite suddenly and could use more work on my timing.
Other than that attempt 1 is Done!
