Character & Narrative: Week Seven: 6th - 12th November 2017

This week I had to get shot 4 and 11 keyframes done. Surprisingly enough, I found shot 11 the harder of the two since it is a much more close up shot, meaning I have to be much more precise with my lines to keep it consistent in details. I spent a lot of time sketching this shot to make sure I got the facial expressions right so that they would clearly illustrate what the gnome is really feeling. I did use reference footage to get the basic idea, but I exaggerated and changed details quite a bit from it. This shot is left with many more inbetweens to be done to smooth his motion.

Shot 4 wasn't as hard as I expected it to be. I filmed reference footage of me slowing to a stop and synced that up to the shot. I drew my keyframes based on the contact frames of the video but changing the angle slightly to get it to work with the background. From here I ended up doing most of the inbetweens at the same time since I was getting carried away with this shot. I'm really happy with this shot imparticularly and I am excited to see it finished with all inbetweens done.
