(Sings) Ohhh, where have the weeks gone??
Anyway, so Tea and I have been talking about our animations for the group project, or more specifically, shot 03 where the main spirit creature is swooping across the screen right to left. I made a short animation following it with my little spirit creature turning its head towards the other but she pointed out that maybe the movement is too big, as in, it might draw the audience's attention away from the main focus of the whole shot. IT'S A REALLY GOOD POINT. We both decided to table the shot for now and then compare it later once she's done with a roughed-up version of the same shot.
If I'm going back to the original idea of the spirit creature just sleeping and bobbing along with the jellyfish then the only things I'll need to animate is the jellyfish itself, the flames of the spirit creature and the swish of the tail. Gotta keep it simple but not static, at the very least~ Oscar also brought up a good point that the flames of the creature could "breathe" with it. I'm not sure how I'm gonna do that but it sounds gooooood~
Anyway, here's a horrible gif version of shot 03. I slowed down the timing just to make it look clearer.
(The original video file was friggin' 100mbs but this gif version is only 300kbs. Like, what the eff? HOW WORK?!)
Also, here's a gif preview of shot 04 with the spirit creature cleaning itself. It's pretty rough but good enough for now, I guess. I'll show this to the group and see what they say about it later~
Hamish thinks the animation is going a bit too fast and I agree with him. I'll definitely slow it down in the end because we still don't want the focus to go away from the main creature coming into the shot but at least I've got the roughs down, so PHEW!!
