AM Q4 ASN2 Week12 Progress Reel

Another quarter under my belt. Here you can see all the progress I have made. I was too tried to make a new header so I reused the old one. I've learned so much I hope I remember all of it for when I get to start a new scene. I hope that during my break I make some time to keep working on my shot. I think I plan on knocking out a couple of sections and cleaning them up. Until next quarter, I think I will game it up for a while, I got Dead Island waiting at home

Aaaaand Done. Well done until next quarter where I unlock the face and get to do the lip synch.

Well I think I find my self where I usually find my self at the end of the quarter, understanding the all the lessons at the end and wanting to start over because I now see what that shot could be. But that is how I learn, there are a lot of parts that I am happy with, but mostly all I can see are the flaws. From what I understand that never goes away.
I don't really like the beginning any more, it feels like it's there for the sake of animation not to explain who this guy is. I think after the quarter is done I will get rid of the swooping look up and have him fingering the jar more and then having a curt look up and then reavealing that he is happy to see Johnny Ringo. I would have incorporated it this week, but I didn't realize that until it was too late. Oh well, that is enough for this quarter, maybe one more cleaning pass before I turn in my reel.

Two steps forward two steps back seems to be the way that I animate. Here is hoping that that isn't true this week.

This is feeling closer and closer. I know it still needs some more polish and I need to track some arcs, but I feel that this is well on it's way to being a complete piece.
