New Series: One Day

One Day is a new animation series I will be starting shortly. The mission: Start and finish a simple shot in one day or less.

These shots will be short exercises to create a more efficient workflow and focus on getting a shot completed looking respectable in a reasonable amount of time. These will NOT be "demo reel shots," but merely exercises to help work out some of the kinks, focus on something in particular, and return to basics.

Rough Blocking

I added a few more poses so it would read and adjusted the timing a little.

So! Here is the rough blocking pass. This pass is on the body only and mostly for overall posing and timing purposes. The only thing done on the faces thus far is to keep the eyes in their sockets. This is in stepped mode at present just for clarity of posing. Camera placement is rough but approximate.



A note about this shot. I really liked the clip for this month's 11 second club! However, I am about 99% sure that I am not going to submit this. Just doing it as an exercise. Let me know what you think!

New shot!

Good news! I have started a new shot! Actually, I did the video reference on Saturday night and Sunday. And I did most of the rough blocking yesterday, yay! So I just need to check a few things, and then I will have a rough blocking pass to show.
