Week 7

This week was a quiet one as I was finalizing other assignments, but no less interesting. I finally finalised the Molly rig after more complications in particular the hands and face. This was to do with weight painting and was only discovered after starting basic animation blocking, which I started on Wednesday.

 

This animation blocking was only really basic, involving Molly and Sally Anne. Molly was looking around in 2113 and riding in the hansom carriage.  At this stage it’s only a start and in my opinion while the problems with the weights in the hands and face was extremely frustrating, I did work it out and I hope problems with Molly will disappear so I can truly focus on the animation of Molly for all scenes starting from Monday.  

 

The biggest and most important factor that has happened this week occurred on Friday, this being the animation reference with Jess Collet, who is voicing Molly. This session was very productive despite a shaky start with a slight miss understanding. Once we both settled in, filming went smoothly without any hassles.  

 

With week 8 being a break week, this coming week will be extremely productive. My goal is to get all of the blocking done for Molly and even I will be looking at starting the in-betweens and possibly lip sych by weeks end.
