Hi, happy sunday! I'd like to share the full timelapse of the Linkpearl video.
Some fun things to notice:
-This time, I put the date in the right upper corner!
-First scene that was animated was Raha's fall;
-The first shot where she is calling him, I actually animated her mouth movements, and then decided they didn't look right, so I deleted all of it.
-The mammets positions are all fake (the ones close to the camera)! You can notice them floating way over the floor. I positioned them only looking at the camera view. They're also rendered separatedly.
-I tested making G'raha's eyes shine when he picks up the call, but it didn't work how I wanted to. Then I added a blush to his cheeks instead!
-Shot 7 was the one I spent most time in. I had that specific movement in mind, especially that little movement his turns to the side and up while talking, but whenever I tried to record reference, I couldn't do it like I was imagining it. So I tried animating it without reference. It worked eventually, but it was a bit of a struggle to get right. I underestimated it!
-Meanwhile the last two shots were much easier because I recorded reference myself that I followed closely. I was actually surprisingly organized while refining them as well! I'm thinking it might be fun to show it in more detail with commentary explaining what I'm doing, since in timelapses like that it's hard to be able to tell exactly what I'm doing in terms of animation.
-And yes I did blur myself out because I'm not comfortable showing myself on the internet yet, please understand! Even just the blurred image is more than I initially thought I'd show, but I wanted people to at least be able to see more or less what I'm following as reference to animate.
And that's it for today, feel free to request or ask anything!
Thank you very much for your support!
