Week 5: Plan

For week 5, I plan to continue to work on layout for the film. As more sets are created, I will do the layout for them using the final models of characters that are created. Also, during this week I plan to finish a animation workflow tips document that I am writing. I decided to write this early on so that when we get to animation everyone will be hopefully on the same page in terms of quality. In the document I detail out my work for different types of animation including body mechanics, close up, cartoony, facial, etc. I've also added a resources section at the bottom where someone will be able to find articles and videos about a wide range of animation related topics. This includes topics like the graph editor, polish, smear frames, acting, weight, contrast, etc. Again, the goal is for all of us to become better at animation so that the film is consistent in quality/style and we can all have someone great to show on a reel.
