For Task 3, the assignment we were given was to animate a two character dialogue piece to a provided audio.
We received this piece at the start of April and the Task was to produce the piece as part of this months 11 Second Club competition using the audio they provided, as it was an audio for two characters.
You can preview the audio on their site:
Even though I only properly began working on the piece today, we did have a filming session in the green room at the start of the month where we filmed some footage in groups after discussing our individual ideas.
My idea for the task was to have my two characters in a bar, with one guy feeling the need to talk about himself decides to strike up a conversation with a guy sitting on his own just trying to have a quiet drink. An alternative idea was to have the guy talking to the barman, but I decided to go with my original plan.
After setting up a basic bar scene yesterday I filmed some extra reference for both characters and then began blocking it out today.
For this piece I also decided to use a different rig to previous animations just for a change and to see what other rigs have to offer.
The rig I'm using is the Dee rig, produced by Manuel Sierra and modified by my classmate Remi to look like the new version for Maya by Victor Hugo.
So far I really like the rig, probably more than the Max rig. The controls it offers are great, especially for the feet and face... I have yet to try any facial animation with it though. The only thing I do miss from the Max rig is the hands.
As I haven't my initial block yet, here is a screenshot of my scene:

I'm not sure who produced it in order to provide credit but I have contacted someone to try and find out so we shall see. IF necessary I shall remove it.
