INTRODUCTION


This weekly assignment was basicly the same as last week, except that the theme was totally different.
This week we were going to create a short animation movie, were we was supposed to use one of two scenarios. From a selection of a person sitting by a table waiting for someone, or a person sitting on a bench nervous, I choosed the last one.




THE ASSIGNMENT

When I started on this assignment I had to figure out how I wanted my animation. There are several movements that is really really important to get in the scene, to actually have the movie to look interesting. 
We learned a lot of this in our classes this week, and I tried to use it as best as I could, combined with the time we actually had to do the assignment. I choosed to use the nervous/bored person as my assignment task. I started off by doing a simple environment, because it gives the scene a little more life. After I had done the environment, I started to make my reference. I choosed to do a reference of myself because I couldn't find a good one on the internet. I asked our teacher for some feedback on both the reference and my main poses(blocking), to actually get what I wanted and what should be in the final scene. This animation required movement in a still position, which was pretty hard to get as I wanted. I tried as best as I could to use my time in the best way, and to get my poses as I had them in my reference. All that I learned this week will be used as good experience for the upcoming assignments.


EDGEFLOW AND TOPOLOGY

This assignment had a pre-made rigged character to use.






SELF EVALUATION


This assignment was a challenging task to do. This because we had to do an interesting animation with a character sitting down the whole scene. I feel that there is a lot to tweake and do different in my final submission, but in another way, I feel that I did the best I could in the period of time we had. Honestly, I feel that there is just experience to take with me further on into this amazing course. We haven't had that lot of animation yet, and is just in the learning curve to get the basics, that's why we have different settings the following weeks, to get the basic animation rules and learn a lot to use in our 3 week project at the end of this semester. I feel that my final scene turned out pretty well, though there are a lot of things that could have been done different, but that is how I gain experience. We have had our feedback together in class and I think that it is a good way give the students the feedback, because the teacher can show things on the whiteboard, and explain why it should be like that or not like that. If someone have got an very good idea of something in their submission, they can share it with the other students as well, trough the teacher. 





My character sheet is going like this:


SITTING OUTSIDE PRINCIPALS OFFICE

'' This is SO boring''

''I really hope my parents are not in there with the principal''

DOOR OPENS

'' I think I heard my name''
