Final Animation

This is my final animation, I'm pleased with the overall outcome, and I believe the animation movements, I look fairly realistic although I tried to add exaggerated facial expressions to add some comedy to the scene. There are many thing I would change if I we're to do this again, I would make the scene a little more interesting, add more props, use the graph editor more, to create smooth animation movement.

Lip Sync

Here I have added lip-sync, I think this was the most difficult part of this module so far. The way I did this was importing the sound file into Maya, which made miming the lip syncing alot easier,I could simple key-frame when a word starts and end, repeating this technique.

Animatic - Inbetweening 1

Here I have completed the in-between for the animation. I feel its starting to come together now, however, i still need to add lip-sync and facial expression to bring more life to the characters.

Animatic - Key Poses

This is my improved animatic with key poses, this time in 3D. Once I have these key poses I can now begin to animate between these key frames (in-betweening).
