This week, further scene construction and camera placement were carried out by using three still shots to prevent images. Here I used the scenario of buying and downloading online.
Scene 1: Mom is working from her seat at home.
Scene 2: A mother and child go to an amusement park to ride a roller coaster
Scene 3: A mother comes home from playing with her child, and the mother puts her to bed in the child’s room

classmate is trying to use motion capture system:
Use Metahuman to import animation sequence made by motion capture system:

The laws of camera setup: The rule of thirds is one of the most basic and widely used composition rules in photography and filmmaking. Divide the picture into nine equal parts, namely two horizontal lines and two vertical lines, dividing the whole picture into nine areas.

Assignment brief; Creating 3 previz ideas using the techniques above which will be reviewed over the term and eventually narrowed down to one to finalize in the next term. Animation analysis. Demos show casing contraints, effects, cycles and studio library.
Idea1: Children lack the company of parents, when parents busy work to make noise to attract the attention of parents. Under normal circumstances, parents will think that their children are naughty and not sensible, but in this animation, the parents feel that their children need her company, and take their children to the amusement park, after the end of the day’s play, when the child goes to bed, she continues to stay up late to work. It’s a meditation on work and the companionship of children.

Idea2: About the biological experiment, the doctor left after checking the indicators of the instrument, but did not expect that the subject began to mutate beyond control. Thinking about chemical and biological weapons and human animal experiments, people make mutated potions for animals, but the mutated animals are out of control and start to attack humans and kill each other.
Idea3: In the city, a murder has occurred, and when the police arrive, they have no idea who did it. At this time, an experienced old police officer found a sneaky man trying to leave the scene, he immediately called the man, but the man quickly ran away. After a chase, he was finally caught and identified as the real culprit.

updating my work and project ideas on Padlet in order to find partners
In George’s Maya course, I learned The 12 Principles of Animation and made many short animations, which made me more aware of how to make more vivid animations. I learned a lot from the basic animation course, which also gave me the ability to make better animated short films.
