hey there,

wow week 6 already... time sure flies... i think next week would be officially 1 year since i applied for AM... sooo much has changed for me in the past year... hope the changes are for the good :) (in dark mistic voice "the future is dark and uncertain for u ved" says a voice from within... )

ok maybe im going off topic... so lets get back on topic...

Pantomime Polishing (class 04 week 05)

hey there,

Ok today i am going to cheat a bit... I know today is wednesday and already half way through the week but since this post is to appear on monday mrgn (when the AM's deadline for submission expires) i use the magic of internet and go back in time and make this post....

ok im back in monday....


the reason i had to travell back in time was at this moment in monday in ernakulam had to make a quick visit to ernakulam (left on sunday mrgn reached there by night... left next day mrgn and back to gud old b'lore by monday night :) )

anyway enough reminiscing... here is my submission for this week... atlast things seem to fall together for me... for a couple of weeks i kept thinking that something is not working... its not looking right... but once i saw the final product i was happy (not satisfied but happy :) )


next week is on to new stuff... some dialogue hunting and some video reference :P

well thats it for now

pantomime Blocking Plus (class 04 week 03)

hey there,

blocking plus... yay its one of those times when i freak out... (well not as much as i will next week but still some freaking out always... ) its the time when i try to make my ideas work/flow....
this is a very important stage... cause i have screwed up quite a lot in this stage... in blocking plus, its imperative (ok i am stating to use big words just for fun) that u dont lose the essence of the shot... usually blocking is the time where u really concentrate on the essence of the shot like... who is this character what is he doing, what does he what to achive and so on and so forth... in blocking plus i used to get lost in the details sooo much that in then end i would loose the essence of the shot... so to avoid that even though i work on one action to another i still play the whole animation and see how that action relates to others... in the end... i still get to experiment in this stage (so its still fun) but by end of blocking plus... my actions/acting/movement/timing are all fixed...


also its funny how sometimes inspiration hits u... Nicole suggested that when the character gets startled in the starting have him flick the gun holsters strap off.. but after trying n trying n trying (and crying) n trying i just couldnt get it right... (either it looked weird flicking off air or it was so subtle that the movment was totally missed) but in the end as i was staring at my comp thinking "this is it... my Ist comment from nicole and i cant fix that..." an idea hits me... which i think woked... so HURRAYYYY for onspot inspiration what would i do without u :)

ok maybe i am just rambelling for no reason... its time for the reson i make these posts....
my current weeks submission:



still got a looooong way to go... the movements are there but its time to get down to the nitty grittys and start tracking arcs and *shudder* cleaning graphs... (i dono which one makes me shudder more is it cleaning or is it graphs -.-' )

well thats it for now...

CHAO!!!

pantomime Blocking (class 04 week 02)

hey there,

so its time for blocking... YAY!!! blocking is soooooooo fun...

it was a struggle for me... I think i did too much of pencil test and i felt like I cant active the same level of pused poses as i got in the 2d tests (bascially I think i pushed it soo bad that it  got off model but going off model in 3d looks just aweful... )

ok here is my Ist blocking pass (I spaced it out for 5 weeks so this just involves my story telling poses and a few  inbetweens where I am not sure how the transition should happen... )

well thats it for now oh and since I have the power of internet gonna put a sunday evening's stamp :P instead of the day i posted (which will remain secret forever come tomorrow *MUHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA* )
