creativity/animation event

Our group joined a creativity/animation talk in Disneyland Hotel on last Friday.
The speaker is Mr. Patrick Lin, Director of Photography – Camera, Pixar Animation Studios.
Patrick shared views on his creativity process and personal career development path.
After the talk, we know that the story is the soul of the animation rather than technical.
Also, we know more skills of making animation process. It is useful for our future.

Presentation

After the presentation, we can improve our presentation skill on next time.

-more eyes contact

-use short sentence

-don’t speak the script directly

Beside this, we know that we may waste time because we are not developing the story together.(But we chosen the concept1 and develop it already.)

-avoid the character turn around

-use more 34fp of the character >> more comfortable
-use outline to hide the joints e.g. more tapering or use different border

-can use brush to outline

Flash_Exercise_Noel ng

evaluation
In this exercise, I learned the correct or more effective way to make the animation of the character. In exercise 1, I learned the effective shortcut and how to name the part of character. It can avoid the confused problem when file sharing. In addition, I think the animation making without bone tool is more smooth and reality than making with bone tool. But sometime I will confused with the under layer and over layer. Beside this, when I break apart the part of character to do another pose, it may not suitable for pose2, such as the foot in pose 2 should longer than pose1. Also, some part of character and props may need to separate to two layers in order to making overlapping animation. It can avoid the limitation of making animation with bone.
