Animatic revising

I'm going to revise the animatic right now to try to make it a little more cohesive and clear and I'll try to post it up as soon as possible.

Blocking Progress

Here is some blocking progress, I am going to work on this after 118 around 9 so any notes before then would be great, the playblast cut off the film gate for some reason so ignore that

Kuan's Blocking




Hi everyone,
Here is my correction on my blocking. Please feel free to give me suggestions. I feel there are still some areas need to make some changes but I can't tell where is it.

I won't be in front of my computer for few hours. I need to go out to run some errands but I will check it as soon as I came back.

What to do with "guts"

Playing with different ideas for alternatives to the drink raising around "guts."  Here are a few rough ideas I've been trying.  If anyone has some feedback  for me or has a good idea I haven't thought of yet, I would welcome it. Myself, I'm tending towards developing option 1 or 2, the raise up in option 3 feels like it interrupts the increasing intensity of the shot.

Option 1
She thrusts her drink forward rather than upward

Option 2
She does another push in towards the camera


Option 3
She raises up a bit before leaning back in to the camera

opps forgot the backround

New blocking

Hey guys I was able to work on the blocking more. I worked on the hands and I also added in eye movement and eye brows. I've been trying to hunch her over more but it wasn't working. She is pretty much hunched over as much as I can go with out deforming the rig :/

Notes for chris

For your shot we discussed a few things

Overall the character feels too relaxed and needs to be tensed up a bit especially in the shoulders (almost like she is doing shrugs at gym think tension) This will help connect up the shots into feeling like the same character.

For the posture we were thinking it would connect up with the rest of our shots if she was more hunched over, for the way she moves we have in mind something along the lines of gorilla meets Igor from Frankenstein

The weight shift seems a bit too fast at the hips feels like it should be simplified

She should look sooner when she says the lines "marriage" also on that bit it might look better if she did more of an under or swoop over and craning motion

She looks down and away a bit too much it would be better that if you are going to have her look down that it was something that happened a little more quickly.

Watch both hands as they appear to be getting stuck in place in a few places especially in the "old age" part in the cup hand

The head feels disconnected with the body in terms of movement, also would be better if head tilting was used to accent certain bits more
