Since up until now I have not been able to get my camera to film my dancing reference I have spent the weekend working with my presenter animation as much as possible so I hopefully can focus all my effort on the dancing, once I have the reference footage to work with.
Now I have tried once again to make the animation more snappy as I mentioned previously and I have also tried to make the hand gestures a bit smaller or fewer. After the second time he says five-thousand-dollars, I let him leave his hand in the air and go straight to the pointing finger instead of him dropping the hand down to the desk and back up.
Also I have started a bit on the face, lip syncing the first 100 frames. So far it is only a lip sync and I still need to work with the mouth shapes to make it look more convincing.
I still feel it can be even better but I will wait to see what feedback I will receive from my class as it is easy to go blind on your own animation.
I have also heard rumor about the deadline being extended until the 14th of February. I sure hope this is the case as I feel I have fallen behind on the dancing task and it would be great to have the extra time for it. From what I have learned, Ed Hooks is also coming to Animex which would be a great opportunity to talk to him and get some feedback on the animation before handing it in.
Now it's time to get outside, pick up the camera and find a good location for filming my dancing reference with the help from my girlfriend as my dance partner.
