Yesterday was the deadline for the animation to be fully completed. i am so happy that my job is finally over... unfortunately ben still has little finishing touches to do.. he said he'l have them done by tommorrow. But other than that the character is fully animated!! I cant wait to see what it all looks like fully textured. There still needs to be secondary animation completed like rocks falling and stuff but thats in the hands of the other group members, as like i said everyone needs to have a small piece of animation done for hand in.
So the animation that i was doing this week was the entrance to the temple. As i gave the other two corridoors to other people to complete i am glad i chose to animate this one. the reason being is because this starts of quite slow tempo. Up until now the film has been quite fast with the guy running through the jungle and also with the animation iv done in the temple which is also quite fast. This scene gave me a chance to work with anticipation. The character walks through the corridoor and then steps on a slap that sets off the traps.. there is a big rumble and the character is unsure what is about to happen.
The entrance to the corridoor was a nice piece of animation to do. I had to produce a walk which i hadnt done in this project yet (well apart from the sleepwalking guy, but thats no standard walk). And i wanted to animate a walk that was quite determined and forcefull. Obviously the character was on a mission and i wanted to show that in the walk which i think i achieved.
Firstly i'l show you the key frames which i always key in first before animating, it also gives me a sense of what the speed will be like:
