Tag: Advanced and experimental 3D computer animation

This video is what I intend to use as a reference for my 2nd project. This video is about pigeons. My friend and I went out to see the museum to see the exhibition. We happened to meet a Christmas booth outside, so we bought hot dogs here. In the end, the hot dogs that could not be eaten were found by the pigeons, so Fly over to eat. This video is very interesting. And the overall length is about 45 seconds, the time is just right.

As I said in my blog before, because of the rapid development of motion capture technology, many animations of characters now use motion capture. The company I practiced at before did the same, and even many of the protagonists had facial expressions captured. So I want to try to do some motions that cannot be captured by motion capture technology at present, such as cats and pigeons, which is why I chose this reference for animation.

This cat reference is also an alternative that I was going to choose as an animation. This video shows my cat Moqi sitting on my dad’s PAD and never moving away. But my dad wanted to get a PAD, so teased him with a comma stick, trying to distract him and get these PADs. In the end, Moqi sat here and didn’t move away at all. On the contrary, the Pad was turned on because of his violent movements and was glowing, so the overall effect was very interesting.

However, my instructor told me that because the animation of my first personal project was going to be a cat, if the animation in this section continued to be a cat, it would cause duplication of content, so I crossed out this reference and chose to be a pigeon. that one.

After searching the video I recorded about my cat Moqi, I found a very suitable video for my animation. There was a fly on my windowsill. Moqi saw it and felt curious about it, so she went to play. The fly finally flew out the window, leaving Moqi to lean over and lookout. This animation is very interesting. And in the end, the fly flew away and no one was hurt. It was a good time, about a minute in all.

Other videos to watch can be found on my YouTube page. Many are due to the length of time, or because some have interaction with tao, so there is no choice.

I have exported this video as a sequence frame and uploaded it to the network disk.

The topic of Advanced and experimental 3D computer animation

Because I am studying abroad, I haven’t seen my cat for a long time. Therefore, I saw my cat Moqi during a video chat with my parents, and I miss him very much. So I plan to make a video with him as the protagonist and have finished my homework.

The second reason is that I have worked in a 3D animation company, so I know clearly that the motion capture technology has been used to solve the animation related to characters. Most of the role of our animators is just to adjust the motion capture. Animal-related animation, however, continues frame by frame. Even with the advent of cat or other animal capture technology. Because of the language gap between humans and animals, it is difficult for animals to perform in accordance with human ideas. So studying animal-related animation is very useful and irreplaceable in the short term.

At last I really missed my cat, Moqi. Every time I videotape with my parents, he always runs around and is not interested in me behind the camera. I really want to see him again and touch him.

Long shot: a single lens has been taken for a long time, without switching footage shot. The long-shot technique is often used to express the specific conception and aesthetic taste of the director, such as deliberately capturing the atmosphere of the scene in a large range at that time, the continuous description of the inner turning point of the actors in the literary scene, and the real kung fu of the fighting scenes.

Film editing means that a large number of materials shot in the Film production, after selection, selection, decomposition and grouping, finally complete a coherent and fluent, clear meaning, clear theme and artistic appeal of the work.

Eyeline: Displays the position of the object relative to the object that he is looking at. Build a scene based on your eyes, based on your actions.

180 Degree Rule: There is an invisible axis between two characters. Do not cross the axis.

Main shot: This shows the scene and the position of each person. Then interspersed with close-ups to show the important details.

Discontinuous clip. Jumping from one scene to another in a movie is called crosscutting. The film jumps between two lines of action to show that they are happening simultaneously in time and space. The advantage is to deliberately break the continuity of the clip.

Overlay: A piece of one-shot that is placed over another shot.

Montage: IS a series of quickly connected shots that combine individual shots through a theme or through time to create a third meaning.

Composition

Guideline composition

Guiding line composition allows us to find lines and try to Orient them to the point we want to express.

Framing composition

Framing tells us to look for various “frames” to enhance the theme and get a good result.

Central composition

Put the subject you want to express in the center of the picture to achieve a more prominent theme and a strong sense of balance.

Diagonal composition

Let the structure of the elements be distributed diagonally to get a more dynamic picture.

Show if the character is strong by comparing the size of the character.

The camera moves.

The camera moves with the character completely evenly in speed and direction. The character stops, the camera stops, the character moves, the camera moves. And movement is everywhere.

This approach locks you into moving in an effective way in the character’s behavior

The truth about anger is speed. Emotions are expressed in the body.
