This week, based on George’s feedback, I revised the length of the video, cutting out useless movements, making minor adjustments to the characters’ body movements, and making extensive changes to the mouthpiece.
I still have a lot of room for revision. This is the first time I have animated facial expressions, which is a great challenge for me and I will make more detailed changes to my work later in the learning process.
Project-2
For the animation group project, I think our group executed well and was able to get a preliminary result the following week after the group leader had set the task. This saved us a lot of time. I was mainly responsible for the movement aspect of the film’s characters, which was a new venture and I was keen to become a character animator, which was a big challenge for me.
But under the guidance of Jixuan Chen, Jiawei Chen and Zheng Deng, I did my best to make the best animation adjustments I could. Of course, there were still a lot of details in the character animation that I didn’t get right, the expression animation was stiff, there were jerky character body movements, and there were many mistakes. These are all things that I will have to improve on in the future and I believe that this experience will be a valuable one for me.
