Also used the gimbal controls to turn the character, which caused too much confusion. I wanted to, but there were too many keyframes connected to each other. Probably because I didn't know how to block or plan the blocking properly.Īt one point, I got an advice to try to make the turn of the character happen more fluently. And is the result really good then? No, not really, when I compare it with the stuff I see in the forums. What I see in the forums, a lot of animations have a lot of dynamic and big movements. So now I've been working more than double than the average. Most work that I see in the 11 second club archives have been taking 20 - 50 hours to finish. I've been now working 112 hours with the 11 second club challenge. That also seems like a proper thing to do. Recently I also saw a clip where an animator acted out the scenes and the animation was done exactly to the reference. Starting from storykeys, then breakdowns and then the inbetweens. Next time I'll really dig into the blocking, that seems to be the key to a good, planned animation. I just didn't really know how to proceed.
It wasn't about the lack of time, that I had enough. Now when thinking about it, I could've not done anything differently. The shorts are so short that one can easily evaluate and dig in to the piece thoughtfully. I even think it could be a good exercise to do the evaluating every month. While doing it, I started to see what's the exact difference between good and not so good animations. And it was a good learning progress as well. I went through 202 short animations in two days. And while absorbed into the idea, it was even hard to see it can be confusing. I was just thinking about the point of interest while planning the camera so I didn't see how the characters switched sides on screen.
