Tasks 6 & 7: Climb and Lift

These are the last two tasks of this module.

Task 6: The Climb

Animate a character climbing on top of something and then coming down the other side. Important to give the character a n identity and purpose to help develop a convincing performance.

Task 7: The Lift

Animate a character lifting an object of your choosing. The object can be any size and weight. As mentioned above, giving the character an identity was once again important to give a story context to the piece.

Before we began animating for these tasks we had a filming session where we got to use the green studio to film video footage using the various props. I also made some additional footage in labs for my lift animation as the 'object' I wanted to use for my reference was not available... this is not surprising when you see what the object is, haha!

These are the reference videos I decided to use for the two tasks (uploaded by my tutor):



Also, I watched a pretty good short on YouTube the other day, called 'Eleven'. It's about a space marine who gets outnumbered. It's got a good story and I think it's really well done. Definitely worth a watch :)
