<br />
I got around to do your notes, I still have to do another pass on the lids and I'm not completely convinced on what is going on with the hands.<br />
<br />
Is the ending part working better now with the beats?<br />
Should I put a little bit of overlap in the hair?<br />
I'm looking for more polishing notes if you have time.<br />
<br />

<br />
so far focused on the back end of the shot and any quick notes. still addressing some bigger notes such as reach in and touch of turkey and head accents. after watching a few times seems many of the actions need more easing but hopefully the timing has stayed true? any feedback appreciated. thanks!Joe Mitchellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15759777097268220759noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-93978424088988018.post-25661243828450790892016-04-04T18:05:00.003-07:002016-04-04T18:06:04.043-07:00Notes AddresedHi Victor,<br />
<br />
I got around to to all your notes from last class.<br />
<br />
I did the transitions and tight up the timing a little bit.<br />

Please let me know what you think.<br />

<br />
I've been addressing the notes on my lip sync, which I thiiiiink I've gotten in there. I've also started on the eyelid shaping. <br />
<br />
As I'm polishing, I'd really appreciate your guidance overall on anything in the shot that's really glaring at the moment. Frames 83-100ish are also giving me some trouble, in the eyes. I'm going for a slow look up, but right now you can see the irises widening too much. O_o<br />
<br />
**Oh, and I just realized the cup isn't lined up with his lip in the beginning, along with a hitch in the arc as the elbow extends from his mouth, which I'll be fixing!<br />
<br />
Thank you in advance!<br />

<br />
I think I've addressed all notes (except for the eye lids being a little footbally toward the end, ran out of time) and the arms are still popping. Other than that, I would love to get feedback to see if everything is working. I'm down for nit picky things that will plus it. <br />

I've been building a list of topics for the week 11 "anim jam", which is coming up next class. Here are a few that we will choose from randomly, but let me know if you have any topics you think would be good to throw in the mix! Remember, the idea is for a 100-frame clip, interpreting the topic however you choose. Blocking is fine. Here's what I've got so far:<br />
<br />

<br />
I've been trying a bunch of different gestures for my shot, trying to find the right combination. I uploaded a version I like to Syncsketch (without the ending of the shot). My main worry is that it feels too busy, and/or the gesture during "nobody asked me" isn't reading like I'd like it to. What do you think? Do you have any ideas?<br />

<br />
Sorry for the late post. I'm working on the arc of the ending gesture, and am wondering if this is heading in the right direction of what we discussed in class. I'd like to have him start to reach up to take a sip, but I worry about adding too many more frames. Also wondering if the hold needs to be a little longer before his hand drifts down...trying to work with the frames I have. <br />
<br />
<u>Note - I have not worked on anything but the SL arm in this shot.</u><br />
<br />
Thank you!<br />

<br />
So I've been working on the notes from class. One of the major ones being breaking up the body on the "DJ" part (easing in and out). I feel like I've been fussing with it and dont know if I'm doing more harm than good. So an eye on that would be super helpful, as I'm getting frustrated.<br />
<br />
I've also added in the dialogue and started on a quick pass at the brows. <br />
<br />

<br />
Would love any and all feedback! Thanks in advance!

<br />
I've reworked my blocking again, trying to make the woman in front more concerned with St. Peter, and making the last line the biggest contrast between attitudes.<br />
<br />
What do you think? Still inching along, or getting closer?<br />
<br />

Hi Victor, I made the timing changes to shot 5 (sped up the 2 looks and the hand on the shoulder) and wanted to see if it's close. I think it's reading better but I'm not sure if it's there yet. Thanks and have a great weekend.<br />

<br />
Here's where I'm at with splining. I want to make sure it's translating well from block. That it feels the same, and has the same punch. Aside from the terrible constraint popping on the forward arm, how's it looking?<br />

<br />
Hope those of you who went to BACC yesterday had fun!<br />
<br />
I've been working on that same hand gesture at the end of my shot quite a bit, so I'm hoping this is looking a lot more natural.<br />
<br />
I just took the rest of it to spline, aside from the eyes (blinks and such), so I'm currently working on cleaning that up.<br />
<br />
Thank you in advance,<br />

p.s. I'm still looking for a less loud background.<br />

Hi Victor, I was able to unlock some channels and scale up the finger and palm size on the bodyguard and Lieutenant. Here's a link with a before and after, will def. need some re-posing but I'm wondering if it's getting in the ballpark or if it's too subtle? <br />
<br />
I didn't have much luck with the lattice but if anyone has a good solution/workflow I'm open to any and all suggestions. Thanks so much and have a great weekend everybody...<br />

<br />
Sorry I missed your class yesterday. I've been really sick all week. I just wanted post my WIP. It's still pretty rough.<br />

In the feedback surveys I heard mention that some of you would like to have copies of the notes from my lectures, so I've made some rough exports of the text from my Keynote files so far. I've removed most of the images and examples, so it's mostly bullet-points, but hopefully it helps. You can download them <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/49vdyqrcqgozurv/AABVEdcAViW2dfLoLnxga9ENa?dl=0">here</a>. Let me know if the link doesn't work!<br />

<br />
I've been working on the notes from class, mainly the end gesture where he says, "Legally, I'm disowning you." We had discussed that the move was just a gesture and not necessarily a point at his son offscreen, and that he should lead with his head. <br />
<br />
I can't tell if it's looking better than what I had at this point, because I've been staring at it for so long. I did put it into spline so I could get into offsetting of the arm/hand more easily, so it's definitely looking a little even and floaty at the moment.<br />
<br />
I'd appreciate your thoughts to see if I'm still going in the right direction.<br />
<br />
Oh, and FYI, I haven't done anything about the notes on his mouth just yet.<br />
<br />
Thank you in advance!<br />

<br />
This round is of making the changes per class on Wed. and adding more breakdowns/information. I have yet to find a paper rig that I like, and the one I'm trying to make is in the works. I would def like to add the note of rolling up the paper. Also, the eye lids are getting out of sync with what I'm doing, so I will be making a pass at that, but anything glaring will help. Other than that, any general or nit-picky notes will be great as I move into spline. <br />
