I don't usually make reference videos but after using rotoscoping a lot in 501, I thought this would be a good way to test what i preached about the usefulness of rotoscoping. I wasn't extremely confident taking this action movement - but I think being able to act with a little animation made it easier to imagine the shot - even if i didn't use the entire video as a reference.
Maybe next time, i will hold something I can actually throw instead of a glass cup - to get better weight and force in the movement.
WWW- I think during animation, I realised I chose very useful frames for me to use when animating. I usually animate straight ahead, so for my first attempt at keyframing, I think this went quite well.
WWW- I think I managed to have better body movement - which is an improvement from last year when my animation was completely head turns and small facial gestures. I like the eye transition between normal and drunk/angry using the eye colour fade. I also think my style has remained consistent, which I was worried about starting animating.
EBI- I'm very used to how layer effects work on photoshop and autodesk sketchbook - so I started filling in the bottle with the intention of using an effect - only to release all I could really do on Harmony was add an opaque layer of colour.
I still need to add a shading layer, but I am waiting for the background layer so that I have the right light source.
