SHOE BANDIT
My final animation fulfilled what I wanted to say in my story and I think that is the main point. I did encounter problems both in building my biped and getting it to do all the motions I wanted and not just the scripted ones. It was quite time consuming learning these new things but I got there in the end. Some sections did not quite turn out how I wanted but it got me to the finished product and I am proud of what I was able to achieve.
I wanted my character to be something unusual but also in a way anonymous because we are not meant to notice him in real life, he is a sneaky guy. That is why he does not have facial features or sounds associated with him. All in all I think this animation solves the mystery of the missing shoes well and shows all the new techniques I have learned.
Post-production in after effects to get everything looking the way I want to and getting the colour tone right with levels and contrast. Almost done!
This is my storyboard I meant to post earlier but completely forgot!
This is the first render using just one frame for the background and trying to create realistic shadows and get things spacially correct.
I want to invoke a sense of curiosity in the audience and to just creatively express the mystery of when something you need goes missing. I want it to be fun to watch and to perhaps let people discover that these everyday things can be used for something unexpected and it is just a matter of perspective.
Working on the footage of a composed scene underneath my bed in vegas and figuring out what tone and setting I want to show.
This is the progress I have made so far which includes creating my character and doing tutorials on how to create a biped. Then I began modelling my shoe objects that need to be in the scene as well.
