You Never Can Tell
Our new tutor was pretty good and made made us feel a little bit more comfortable with the paper. ut we still had to produce an animation. I clung onto an early lesson where she bought in video onto a 2D plane in Maya and one could follow the action frame by frame as a template.
I decided to do John Travolta dancing to "You Never Can Tell" I did 505 frames. It was complex and I couldn't really add much more in the time I had. I rendered it this weekend, 3 times over from different cameras and multi-cammed it in premiere. I handed it in today, though not with a character stylesheet which just seemed like a pointless addition that was orphaned from a project that really became all about animating a pre-rigged character in maya. Then Jackie told me that was worth 30% of the mark. They should change that, it's really pointless.
It's done and I'm happy with the result.
