The first reference video shooting
This week, we shot our second lync-animation video reference, and I chose the quote from Avatar “Just relax, and let your mind go blank. It shouldn’t be hard for you. In response to this quote, I designed some relaxed, helpless, awkward movements. Still, during the first video shoot, I was so focused on my facial expressions that the reference didn’t seem very ‘animated’. So I went back and did a second take
The shooting of the second reference video
During this shoot, I realised a situation… It was… I had a hard time controlling my expressions and my body at the same time, and my God, this video is what I look like after so many takes, it was really awkward at the beginning… I wanted a vivid expression and regular body movement, so I edited the two parts together, and I’ll make the animation from both videos later on
Storyboard:
This is the storyboard for the whole memory sequence, the wind blowing through the grass, the blue butterfly flying aimlessly through the forest, where the blue butterfly represents the little girl I will be following in the next project, and the lost state of mind of the little girl. The tiger head toy means the dragon that will appear later. The whale lives in the deep sea, and the butterfly lives in the air. It should not have been met. 52 Hz of the whale lives in the lonely sea, he cannot hear the voices of his companions, and it lives alone all the time. But one day, it feels the presence of the butterfly.
Making the OC material
one of the things I really like about the octane renderer is that each category on his settings page is exceptionally clean and perfect for one person’s work. I watched some videos of grass when I was working on my textures, and the grass I started with, I thought it lacked some realism. So I wanted him to have some reflections, refractions, and roughness.
Because I want this grass to have a feeling of just raining, there is that kind of wet dew, so I spent a lot of time to adjust the material
Because the entire lawn has a great impact on the overall color tone of the picture, at the same time, the values of some environments, lighting, and volume fog will affect the entire environment, so I prefer to make this scene in the feeling of myself
