Animations Showcase/Feedback

[Wolf]

Hey guys, I've been animating off and on for years and started to take it more seriously and attended AnimationMentor and iAnimate. Looking to get some feedback if any.

iAnimate first

This is almost finished, need to fix the hilt hand popping.

Nice! but my question is. Are you going to help the ESF devs? just a question not a foolish one.

I'm not an animator but I can give you some general feedback,

Lisa_run;
It would look better if you could animate the hair in the front as well(subtle), also the face looks quite dead, a simple breath animation could spice it up. And my last comment is about holding the sword, I would imagine it's quite difficult to run hard and hold a swordlike object as tight as she does.

this file is not working

Class 4 Week 11- Polishing the Dialog shot:
Looks nice, I like the hand movements. You may want to look at the eye blinking, for some reason it doesn't look smooth. Also the part from frame 101 to 120(where he's pointing to himself) looks a bit too fast.

Nothing to comment really

I wonder what you will show us next time.

I have talked with DT already, they are set on animations atm. They just need models done.

The Rig iAnimate provided, the female, Has no facial controls. She is ment for 3rd person animations and in general you don't see their face so the body is what is being read. About the sword, seen plenty of films of ppl running with their sword still in its holster, there is just no holster for the hip with this rig, its on the back.

Thanks for letting me know about the bunker, i'll try to fix it, seems it doesn't like .mov files. Going to reupload it as an AVI.

I did forget to mention that both schools have completely different styles of animations. AnimationMentor is more feature films, such as nemo, toy story ect. So cartoony, things till be exaggerated. While iAnimate is more realistic.

He means he wants to do them all himself

Yes sir! I don't mind that at all as we have been animator buddies for quite sometime now. So I don't want to interfere with his process that he has refined for his workflow, adding someone new to the while workflow he has would slow things down. So if he doesn't need it, then he doesn't need it

Fixed the broken "bunker" link

Neat stuff, Andy, Like we discussed before.

hopefully this uploaded, using my phone as and my internet atm since my new place doesn't have it yet. I did this one a couple years ago while at AnimationMentor, It has plenty wrong with it and I plan on fixing everything.

 

[Quietrain]

Very well.
