This week I am continuing working on my previs for the animation I have chosen.
To get a better understanding of timing and camera angles, I made a moving version of each shot.
The fist shot has a slight zooming out.
This shot has a zoom out to reveal more of the character’s face.
Here we see a movement of sitting down. The shot will be a bit longer, as the character will also look around before noticing the firefly.
The movement of pointing out will be slowed down.
In the beginning of the shot we will see the bugs on the tree.
The following shot.
The character hides behind the tree where we see other bugs not in focus.
The character is observing the bugs. At first bugs are in focus then the focus shifts to the person.
I changed this shot to a high-angle view to shot that the forest has a power over the character.
The camera is panning from left to right revealing the bush where the firefly will fly.
Zooming in on the millions of fireflies that the character reveals behind the bush.
The character is amused by millions of fireflies in front of them.
As for the last shot I decided to add a close up on the character’s face while they are looking at the fireflies.
I want to show emotions of the character as well as the changing lights on their face from the fireflies.
For the better movement I have filmed a few references:
Robot Arm:
I have continued working on the forearm and upperarm and created the elbow mechanics.
I have also changed a piston position closer to the elbow. In this case when the elbow rotates, so does the piston.
For the easier animation have been added different controllers.
