PGCert presentation prepare

At next week presentation, I will demonstrate my process of learning agreement by PowerPoint and my reflect journal and little bit works.


Firstly, to giving a general idea of this stage is necessary. so, I will mention as follows:
For this stage study, I am not only just make a plan for this year, but also make review to the past what I did and look forward to the future, for me, this term is phase to arrange my thoughts. I spent lots of time at thinking the subject. at the beginning, sometimes I looks like sleepwalking, I am not too much confused with course, but I struggling with my thought, because when I watched the research question at first time, that I have many ideas, lots of questions I want to research but what is the most need for me.


At the initial thought, to do an experimental animation? to test how different visual effects impact on audience whether media can be use to guide or treat people in other area, such as mental health ,education... but this topic is too big for me, and reading philosophy in English is difficult for me, I lack background knowledge of that. To based on considerate my future career, I decided keep on character animation in digital way.


Last year I beginning engaged some theories about puppets personalities in digital animation but without too much practices and mature animated work. So, this year, I want to spent time at research performance and character within digital animation. One of my research objective is to make 1 mines digital animation independently, I will charged for pre-sitting including storyboard, character design, binding and animation, rending.


As last year study, I found presetting is most important part to make an animation based on the story, character design and binding has related with performance of puppets. I would like to combine character design and their performances into my research. it will be useful for my future career and help me enrich my point view, enhance my computer operating skill that will be good for working at industry and when I finish this short animation I decided send my work to worldwide animation festivals, so I searched some festival date and put it on my schedule.

usful reading for character pose and software skill

recently, i purchased a few books, it seems help me on my project, there is a book named "stop staring", this book demonstrates several espects about facial animation,lip ,eye, brows ,mouth and nose illustrion of moving, meaning of moving when it turn up,also it  has case analysis show us how to make character from modeling to set joints and use point on the model, combined squash, stretch and secondaries some kind of moving regulations and  character performances.

I read  part1 of this book,this part let me getting to know the face. it inclued basics of lip sync and what the eyes and brows tell us and facial landmarking.

To sum up, the content not all of usful for me, because in this book, author use facial theorys to help make facial pose, in my research i need those theorys to make an action of puppets, usually pose-to-pose making seriers acting,so this book some kind of information can help me.

                                                

acting for animator

From this book i there are several sentents remained me,"take an acting class" to lean first-hand how acting working. that is excellent advice except that animatiors creat animated characters in a very different way than actors creat characters on stage.(ED HOOKS 2003)
