Aja animation study

The (physical)movement will not gonna make your character come to life. The subtext and personality is the actual thing bring your character to life. how the character think, feel in each moment. how it moves base on his personality example: if you see your friend walk for far away which looks like a small silhouette. you know that is your friend, caz he has certain walk away know what character thinking About human's conversation: 7% spoken words 93% nonverbal(include body language, eye contact, gesture, facial expression, mannerisms) so when animator take a pice of dieolage it only has 7% of it, 93% is what you need to put in subtext: what do you give it visually which is the missing 93% part? It shows what character thinking, what personally this person is? good exercise: take a rig, to animate 3 characters (personalty) in it don't can't anything of the rig. don't add anything on it. just the same rig workflow: ask what is the subte...

Some good note from Sir Wade's video Acting can't animate emotion it's come from circumstance, thought, action and boil together then it will give you a specific character choice base on the character personality Combat animation 1. good fight scene should be clear by its own, but also need to be clear who is winning in what time(not too obvious, but obvious enough that you understand what happen) the who wins part that changes the power dynamics and it makes the fight fun 2. Camera choice need to have specific choices to what you do your camera when you doing your camera, you want to make sure your camera is motivated by your character movement sometime character will move first and camera fellow, that will make the scene excited if you move the camera before character go there, it will make the audience expected what is gonna happen next and the scenes will become boring 3. animate character using a weapon  whatever is a fist, a sword, or bl...

Some note for the video. This video is talking about how to explore the emotion and using in my animation. I think the biggest point and biggest challenge is to find a spontaneity action. Spontaneity action will make people feel more genuine, fresher. We need to find the Singularity acting which is : It isn't wired and doesn't make sense to people It is something simply shows out of common which is mean is unique and creative acting The process when we making character animation : 1. familiar with my emotion, normalize them and bring to surface(the shot) Let myself become the character feel the as same as the character feel it in your own body(emotion) 2. act the emotion when planning the shot(video reference, 2d planning) find the uniqueness avoid cliche which is mean the acting every will do shot the video reference, don't need to hit the beat in when you shot it. play the audio and feel it to act it out. do several times and find the uni...

整理了一下剛剛有看到的一些表演上的小地方，做成筆記 1_ 眼鏡會先看過去，再來頭動之後會牽動身體 身體動的時候才會帶動手臂，被帶動的手臂會有微微的起伏，但這個不算是主要的動作 大部分的表演都是一個動作做完才換下一個，除非是很誇張的動作才會多個部分一起動作 2_ 這個影片看的部分是在Key上面有清楚的silhouette 在跑步的key上每個動作都有好的silhouette 很少部分in-between轉身重疊到的地方才沒有 (1、7是key) 在一些大伸展的動作break model 然後做stretch 3_ 第一段Hero以為是靜止的地方都有Saddle movement Hero最後一段的:are you done are you 的部分只有身體微往前傾 done 在這邊算是重音，做了一些比較大的動作對比前面的 很有趣的是done在尾音的地方是閉嘴的，這邊手的動作跟嘴巴一起合起來 這邊應該是想要一個比較尷尬的感覺，整個人最後是蜷縮起來

This study inspired by one of my friends. He shows me the Ballet dancer performance. The action was so attracted me, so I did the study. With this study, I am analysis how ballet dancer jump. This study is base on the video reference below. I pick the keyframe to make a rough animation. Alway cruise why the ballet dancer can look dignity. Today I know the reason. They always chest up and face looks front. even some anticipate before jump needs a hard force, they still chest up. My note for this movement : An interesting thing I notice compared to the normal the ballet dancer using more they leg to leading toward the whole body, for instance, the frame 4.5.6. she swings her right leg very hard. using the centrifugal force to lead the whole body in the air. The arms kind of just a secondary support. In frame 3 its push down to preparing the jump. And the 6.7. pull up very hard in order to support the jump. The cushion in the dancing rea...
