Animation Study

This animation is one that I want to study in order to bring me closer to one that I wish to pursue. In here, the camera and the blue object are the objects that move throughout the rest of the objects. I want to use this to study what it would be like to move everything else within the animation to make it look as though the blue block is moving. I want to look out how lighting, and shadow should be used in order to make this possible as well as whether or not I may have to move the camera to invoke some type of movement.

Composite Diagram

The orange and red blocks are the composites from my previous diagrams. The orange is representative of whether Kevin Bacan, the camera and the gang are moving either independently or with each other in the frame. The red bars within them show the angle that the camera is viewing the character at, whether front side back or oblique. The green, blue yellow red and orange lines show the elevations on the characters and camera within the parking garage and whether or not they are on the same level. The pink lines are when Kevin Bacon sets off the car alarms and the camera vibrates vertically with his movement.

3d model

When talking about how to animate for this week the idea of actually modeling the scene and the elements within it was discussed. Here is the parking garage in which my scene takes place with the paths of Kevin Bacon and the camera modeled as well.

scene diagrams

This first diagram shows the angle that the camera follows Kevin Bacon at during the scene, from either either "B" behind, "S" side, or "F" front. If the green bar is in between two letters then the camera is on the oblique. Each blue bar is 5 seconds within the scene.


This is a diagram on the movement within the scene. It shows whether both the camera and the character in the scene are moving together or independently from one another. The "K" is Kevin Bacon, the "C" is the camera and the "B" is the Bad Guys at the end of the scene. The transparent bars reflect the paths of similar color that the character or camera follow in the scene.
