concept to production

Concept to final textured rigged models....

Title experiments

Modeling Tree and watch

Watch textured and in shot 10. I wanted an old classic type watch face to go with the design of the character. Classic and old school

Modelling the tree was quite a challenge as i wanted it quite twisted and knarly and twisted to add character and personality. UV mapping was rather interesting but for the sakes of the shot it wasn't required so a texture was placed with uv mapping.

To Clym for rigging

Please see below list of objectives for Clym for our character to be rigged.

Hi Clym

Project: Leap of faith Character

Just a couple of things………

Rotations and translations - upper body and lots of stretch and scale

Upper body to include translate rotations and scale rotate shoulders back and forth etc

Fingers single-control bends joints and stretch, as she will be gripping to the side of the lectern so tension in the fingers…Extreme close up of fingers here.

As she falls the gravity of the hair pulls the hair up not sure how youll do this if we can discuss.

Lots of eye movements…..move to the right and left up and down etc… stretch, Scale etc…

She shows…

Fear, sadness, shock, studying, questioning, etc…

Stretch on leg as she reaches her foot to the next step down…..this is exaggerated stretch.

Foot with joints to bend at toes and ankle, as she will be stepping on to the next step etc…

She stretches as she yawns exaggerated pose….eyes closed….hands curled….chest out etc…..

studying….eyes looking across etc….thinking…blinking…..

climbing DOWN…

Fingers hold on to side as she attempts to grab back on to the fingers and hand slide of one by one so quite detailed this shot…

Shes climbing down so the foot needs to be flexible…her leg stretches to the next step….lots of exaggeration…

Look of shock on face eyes wide open etc

This fall is going to be taken from various camera angles so main thing is hair….need to set the hair so it moves with the gravity of the fall….

Clymbo these are just some of the movements just so you can understand the moves I’m looking at…Hope this helps….let me know if you need any more info babes….

Blockout.......

Animation 2nd Pass

Ive composed the 2nd pass animation from Alex with blockout of first three shots and vfx shots as they are not completed. Hopefully a revised 2nd pass will be done this evening.

Revised Block out with changes

LeapofFaith shots05-20 First Pass may2011 from alexander Bax on Vimeo.

3D blockout for Leap of Faith animation. After seeing Dan on Thursday some shots need to be modified. Please see shots for leap of faith below to show changes to be made.
For this I will need from Nathan
A revised animation of the leaf entering the window from outside in one flow rather then 2 shots.
To add establishing shot of environment - still then camera rotates upwards just a little. and the shot of the owl to be seen from behind the librarian.
Vfx shots of the globules and doves coming out of the globules need to be shortened.
These revised shots need to be edited by Monday so I can put the shots together.



Ok...just sorting out block out by using models to mimic the animation for Leap of Faith.
