2nd reaction shot

Scruffier animation

I found the previous animation slightly boring in terms of movements and wanted to make it more dramatic, so I decided I needed moremovement to the body area. Making him more scruffy gave me the idea to make his tie whip as he comes forward and jacket come open.



Scruffier look

After looking at Hollie's animation of before he let's go of the umbrella, I decided that as I forgot to change his appearance as planned in the 3rd reaction shot I must make up for it by doing an in between animation, so that he is half way between being smart, and half way between having his tie undone.

So to make him messier I have made it so that his tie has loosened and dropped down his chest.

4th reaction shot- Filled out animation

4th reaction shot key poses

4th shot- planning the eye expressions.

I was trying to test some eyes to use for this hot to hopfully get his current frustration level across to the audience. I played around with both frustration/anger and and some with some with confusion in them. Through this I got to two sets of eyes they I though would fit, however I couldn't decide which ones should be at the begining and which oes at the end of the scene. Through this I posted it on facebook to get the groups opion.

We decided that the best eyes to start with were the right ones however Hollies gave me some ideas to adjust them a bit.

  

The eyes to finnish are the ones on the left which will hopeuflly leave the guy with a more frustrated look on his face

Added a settle onto the end of the animation

SAM

Sent Sam another message but on facebbok to tell him his work and to check if he got my email but once again NO REPLY.

I realy want to give him a chance but if he keeps ignoring me after his meating with Sean it's rediculous quite frankly, I keep giving him chances but theres nothing else I can do I don't think we can use him after all the times he's been letting us down.

Feedback on blackboard for our group

We had feedback posted on the grades today. There were some realy encouraging comments and Paul appeared to be impressed with how the group was runnung, however he had an issue with how the character looed. At this point in time it was the old animation so I think most of this is prbobly due to how i drew alot of it because he chnged shape when he looked to the left. Once the animation is looking better I think the character will be alot moreappealing.
