11 second club

ENTRY SUBMITTED!!

I am quite excited that I have entered a competition and look forward to seeing the winning result! I am proud of myself for actually entering and especially entering before the deadline! 

11 second club

So this is my final animation that I have made. I am quite happy with the results. I actually found it quite difficult to get the drunk walk right. I really enjoyed the lip syncing again I just think it's a really cool feeling when you play it back with the sound and it looks right! I think if i had more time (or had started sooner) I would have put a bit of extra movement in but I feel I am getting better at that with practice. I don't think I will win, I know thats not the right attitude but I have seen the level of entries and they're quite high standards. I am glad I am doing it though as its good experience and my first ever animation competition.

This is how my room looks, I have used lamps to make it look like its night time as she is drinking and talking about going out to party I thought it seemed right that it was night time. I haven't used complicated clothes on this one as I don't have long until the deadline and no Mat to help me if it goes wrong so i just coloured in the body to make it look like clothes and added hair.

This is my storyboard for the 11 second club animation. I think she looks drunk enough, I think adding movement will help. What happens is she gets excited then tries to pick up the can and nearly falls over.

Here is my animatic to show you how the video will look with the sound they have given us to use. I think its quite funny!! as you can see, I am using the Moom rig on Maya as I haven't learnt how to make or rig my own characters yet. I think this animation could work quite well. It has a bit of comedic value and I think I can have fun with making Moom look drunk.

I have decided to make things easier on myself and use the scenery from my last project with Moom as it is just a room which is what I wanted her to be in. I am going to change the clothes on the character though. I am also going to make a can of beer for her to pick up. I'm not sure how yet but I will figure it out.

I have decided to do this months 11 second club competition as I said i would do the last one but didn't get a chance. This will still help me practice lip syncing and also practice using the Moom rig. It looks like a more exciting one this time too which is good and I have a good idea for it. I think I want it to be a drunk girl going out. I want it to be fun and lots of movement. I don't believe I will win with a Moom rig as you don't see it very often, the winners usually use their own characters or a better rig but we will see. I might try a 2D one next.

I think I'm going to do this months competition. It's not overly exciting but it will help me practice lip syncing which is what we are working on at the moment. I will make sure to use a dope sheet too. I may even use a different character to moom to see how different they are. I have 11 days to do this so thats 30th november i believe... So I need to start this on monday. (I am busy this weekend but I'll try do something, maybe the dope sheet) I think I will start off fairly simple for my first competition as I am still learning maya. I will try and figure out how to make a scene too. And maybe Ill add in a second character for them to interact. Either that or my character could be talking to the audience. 
Maybe it could look like its talking to the audience then it zooms out and its actually talking to a sad pet who's deciding whether to eat a biscuit or not.
