Big Dog Pose Animation

This is the first try of my Big Dog Animation.

After consulting teacher, I edit the body and lifting up of the legs.

In my opinion, this exercise was a hard and tedious one because I have to pay attention to the details properly. The jerking parts were the hardest because the video was a short one and I had really be sure of where I should place the jerks. I had to view the video multiple times to get it right. The angle of the camera plays a part too as I need to find the appropriate direction of the animation. But I am satisfied with the work that I've produced.

Joe Rig Pose/Animation

A short and simple animation to show the weight of the body that the legs have to balance. The pose looks easy to do but there is a lot of visualization needs to be done. The weight of the legs need to be seen as if it is carrying a heavy body and not just by moving left and right.

Rigging

The tutorial was a tedious one but it was easy to understand and memorize because the steps are all repeated. Now I understand the different areas of rigging. Joints, locators and the different controls. I took quite some time to finish the videos because I was facing problems. I managed to solve them by listening to the video carefully and watching each and every step that he made.

More Poses (300 Movie,Tattoo Lady, Bollywood Lady)

This is another exercise that I've done. This is a little more tedious than the previous exercise as I have to do some facial expression to make it look more realistic. The rest of the process is the same as the Spiderman activity. It is basically moving and rotating the joints.



This is another pose that I have to do. I think this pose is a quite complicated just like the Spiderman that I did. The legs have to be bended all the way to the ground. I had some trouble moving the whole body down because the I was not able to move the knees itself.




The pose is basically more on the folding legs. I love this pose the most because it looks almost similar to the original picture. After practicing different poses, I did not have much problem doing this because I know how to move the whole body.

As for the facial features, I learnt more by doing this. As you can see the first pose, I did not do anything much for on the face except for the mouth but for the Tattoo and Bollywood lady, I shaped the eye lids, eye balls and also the eyebrows. I also did the nose and adjust it and made it look sharper. A fun and challenging task.
