Advanced Character Animation Module Research - Present - Evaluate

The aims and objectives for the Advanced Character Animation module is to understand the principles of animation ,and emotions then finally apply the knowledge to the 3D characters for the project .To be more specific enable the viewer to become more engaged with either the protagonist or the secondary characters.This will be a long process as there will be a task to complete every week and each task will have an element that requires more explanation and understanding.Here is the production time table that will explain the process for the next thirteen weeks.

That is why it is important to engage in as much intensive research as possible to get the best out of the tasks which will contribute to the final project.The most effective way will be to use the online social media websites ( Flickr , Pinterest , Facebook ) to gather as much reference materials as possible etc.If you want to be able to view the research materials there will be hyperlinks which will will take you to the social media websites.

The social media websites have managed to inspire the development of the advanced character animation project.Now it is time to discuss the idea generation for the advanced character animation project.The brief was open which meant that it could have been anything within means. The lecturer gave some brilliant advice which was to mix two elements together that don't go together at all.The teddy bear which is known to be soft goes to the gym to gain some serious muscle.As the bear began it's pre work out it fails to get pass the first exercise machine which is the multi use exercise machine as the bear fails to achieve the first chin pull up.

  Before the project was on the way everyone was informed that the proposed idea will require a great amount of organisation and the same amount of focus which will primarily be on the weekly tasks.That enthusiasm will be the main driving force that will truly bring out the best quality for the finished product.  

 Towards the end of the first session the class were given the task of critiquing the trailer from the animation called the secret life of pets.The class were split into groups of three / four student per group.The aims and objective was to find out the intention of the cat and how the cat was displaying the emotions through the chosen frame. Everyone knew that the cat was resisting the temptation to eat the turkey but failed miserably. There were many guesses as to what enabled the viewers to guess what the obvious factors were. Some said it was the eyes , facial expression,the body language and so on. All of the answers provided by the class were correct as they described the behaviour of the cat towards the turkey.
