3DPF Project

This project is allow us to animate two characters interacting through dialogue and actions. It is means that in our group, we need done two characters things.

Firstly, the most important things was what or which dialogue should we choose? Marietta and I searched lots of videos, sounds clip and movie scripts. In the beginning, we wanted to do KungFu panda, but we founded that there are not had too much more good dialogues for ours. Therefore, we kept search. Finally, we founded our's favourite one from movie---MuLan.

After that, we discuss how to animate our characters. We need to draw a storyboard for our characters.

What key poses should we use?
Can we made some more interesting poses?
Does the key poses were suitable for the characters?
Should we follow the cartoon to animate our character?

Brought these questions, we started to think our key poses........

By thought and draw two or three classes, finally we done our storyboard.

Totally, our storyboard have 8 main poses, but we will get some more changes during to do our project.

Now, we needed to choose our characters, here is my character(below one), it looks like a tree.

Now, I started to animate my character. 

In the storyboard, I have 8 main poses, therefore, I tried to set them first.

However, I found my character movement looks like a robot.

Therefore, I tried to think more poses and teacher give me a good idea.

He suggested me tried to do some more big changes  like character can fly to the sky.

And he also teach me how to use curve to help the character movement.

All and all, my character key poses are quite different from our storyboard.

I know that there are still have some parts get problems like hands and feet, but I think I try my best to do this project. Love it.

Here is my character video

Here is our group video

Okay, that is all my friend Marietta and my works. 

Sometimes, we will dislike animate things, but I think 3D is quite fun for us.

Thanks.
