Pass 2 of the Song and Dance

Made a second pass of my song and dance piece yesterday which I finished off earlier: 

I added in some additional poses between the ones in the previous video to clarify some of the actions better. The timing of the steps is now clearer as some are more like skips, and the legs no longer just slide through each other. I moved some keys slightly too, to work better with the audio after referring to the frame chart I made. I also touched up the little jumps a bit, but they'll need more work at a later stage as I need to offset keys but don't want to get into that just yet.

Going to get some feedback on it tomorrow now, then continue hacking away at it. My next plan is to block in the lip sync and some facial expressions and eye movements to get that out of the way.

I also need to move back to my presenter piece soon too to get that sorted out. Notcied some issues with the lip sync the other day when I decided to render it out properley which weren't apparent in the viewport render... I think I know what the problem is though... I think I may have over emphasised some letters which don't need defining...so hopefully if I drop a few keys here and there it'll fix it... fingers crossed anyway!

Short film time:



I watched this one quite recently, thought it was fun! It shows how one action can cause a whole sequence of other events to take place.
