modle making

modle making process

the first one was begining of modle making, when i making modle i am always worry about how to arrange line on polygon object, second one product by my Maya tutor Baris, from this tutorial ,i learnd each face on polygon always square instand of trilateral or multilateral.


tips:

don't worry about make mistake, just try and practice.

don't forget face always square face.

To creat an adorable character, use circle to draw random thing that is effect way to creat a character when you haven't no idea.just drawing some doddle things.

Tarzan character design

Rigging is a bridge between digital character and their performance.

As my research qusetion how to make funny animation. Character design is one of the important element, i am always believe that the character reveal your style of whole animation work, there is other important point in digital character design, that is Rigging also called binding.

First, character design whatever traditional or digital figure must be created fit for their performances, sometimes an animation idea comcept from a person who come from our life, that is good reference to creat an animation character, but some times we already had a script, or we need creat a character for this story, at that time,this person's action and behaviour are references of performance, accroding those reference you can  imagine the character. That is the process from my experience.

Why i said digital animation character has little different because rigging is a bridge between character and their performance.

Of course, at the begining of character design you don't need consider with rigging, but when you finish concept and most of the charecter, you need consider which part does some spcial things of which part of body how to move, what performance and action let character do.

The Storyboard and film language

The storyboard and film language are an important process to show what you want to do at your animation work, that are part of pre-setting. Those are make idea and your concept clear-up. easy to remain your thought.

WHY STORYBOARD?

i found some academic theory about storyboarding.this is come from book "FROM WORD TO IMAGE"--------- Marcie Begleiter  2010

The auther said:"film and video are highly collaborative media. Most projects depend on the input and cooperation of dozens, if not hundreds, of coworkers, In order for the producton to work smoothly, there needs to a method to communicate about the numerous decisions that must be made by each department and coordinated by the director and his or her senior staff. The storyboard and its related documents--- the shot list and the overhead diagram --- are essential tools for communicating visual ideas to the entire crew."

In my opinon, i agree with above theory and i think it depends which case how many people involve into the work, i done storyboard not too much, before i creat this story" The girl and her eraser", after reading academic book about story and tutorial that give me an clear up concept about this, i would like classify it, there are different type and depends on their degree, to what degree and how many detail provided by story is important.  Other auther ,Andy Myatt metion that : there are 4 type :
  The thumbnail storyboard

  The rough storyboard

  The clean-up

  The animatic

this time i make an animatic storyboard

there are many different statements and classification, Marcie Begleiter 2010 metion that shot list and text reference all included in the storyboard, put all things together, other auther Andy Wyatt
break up the storyabord and shot list and text reference. I believe Andy's point more clearly and simple way as animation storyboard especially for independent filmmaking.

In conclusion, personaly speaking ,i believe to seprate the storyboard and film shot as two part can make clean up thought, because storyboard focus on how the story going to be, and film language focus on the shot,example, does this shot and camara angle realy fit for this scene or not, i think film language process can make storyboard close to actual combat.

and other stordboard book worth to read

Ideas and concepts---- what is your most want to tell

For this part,I have lots things to say, because some of student spend too much time on this stage, this is an important stage for whole project,also a story theory and story background resource,
