Keyframe Animation

1/05/2021

Now that the animatic is finalised I'm beginning to work on the shots that don't have a heavy reliance on the 3D animatic, since we currently don't have it rendered out yet.

I've been keeping track of shot progress and adding notes for what I need to work on next. I wanted to get all the keyframes done before moving onto the inbetweening. Once the inbetweening is finished I will then upload the files to the class google drive so the clean up artists can begin working on shots.

 

The first gif export is usually just the keyframes very roughly sketched, then a cleaned version with the construction/sketch lines removed. I want to try keep the lines this so it makes it easier for the cleanup artists

sketch lines || I wanted to make sure I got the rotation of the fishstick correct when Pavo picks it up

3.6 Keyframe

Lines || I cleaned up the sketch to make it a bit more obvious as to what was happening as well as adding detail to the fishstick

Correction || I didnt like the movement of the thumb as the hand rotates around so I decided t try my best to correct it

Lines w/Correction 

Scene 3 Shot 16

sketch || Pavo sweating, I was told that the eyes needed a bit more movement in them so I tried my best to exaggerate a bit more and add some more shakiness

correction || Shakier eyes

scene 3 shot 31

sketch || Betty reaching out for Pavo as he leaves for the bathroom, I wanted to try emphasize her hand by using foreshortening on her arm and really making the hand stand out.

sketch || Added some inbetweens to help with the movement as well as tweaking the timing of the frames 

sketch || more in betweens and tweaking the time, one correction I am gong to make is to change hand frames at the end of the shot so it doesnt seem like betty is telling him t stop, I will do this by curving her hand a bit more. 

shot 3 scene 23

sketch || I was told to open Bettys pose up a bit mre so I tried moving her arms in the pose slightly 

lines || The pose still looks kinda closed and confusing so I think I will end up just redrawing a different pose completely to try solve the issue. 

scene 3 shot 21 

sketch || for this shot its quite shot and I don't know if there should be any movement. I did redraw the frame slightly to make it look more accurate to the Betty in the character bible

lines || I am considering adding betty looking up just to give the shot a bit of motion so the shot isnt just one static image

Scene 3 shot 17

sketch || for this shot Betty swallows what she's eating and looks concerned at Pavo. because the shot was quite short I tried to make the movements more subtle so there wasn't too much going on 

lines || I want to make some corrections to make Betty look more judgmental and play into Pavo's fears and insecurities about how others perceive him
