the reference of walk with personality

sketch of clap and rap

Here are some sketches about clap and rap which combined with the reference and personal ideas.

The reference of clap and rap (Eminem lose yourself)

Animation task 5 (clap and rap)

Based on the lip sync, the next animation is about clap and rap. I chose the reference of the song "lose yourself" from Eminem. Because I don't know too much about the rap singer, in order to get more information about their performance, I watched the video of Eminem for many times and tried to know what a rap singer should look like in his performance. In my animation, the singer is very confident when he is singing. Moreover, most lyrics should fit the action of character to reach a better effect.

Animation Task 4 (lip sync animation)

This is the first time to me to make lip sync, actually speaking, it is not very hard to finish it when I have practiced for two or three times. The good way is finishing the based lip action like simple open and close at first, then working on the chin and the corners of the mouth. At last, focus on the shape of the lip to reach different words. By the way, the expression should be done to fit the lip sync like blink and eyebrows action.

Animation Task 3 (walk with personality animation)

There is not too many changes in this animation without the rendering effect, it is still an action of a thief who was sneaking into a house and looking for something to steal. When he found something available he bend down and focus on the thing he wanted to steal.

Animation Task 3 (walk animation)

Compare to the last aniamtion about walk I have done, this one is better in the aspect of walking in natural way. It still has some problems about cycle, but the legs and arms, I think, moving like a human, not a zombie anymore. Personally speaking, walking is the hardest action to me when I am making animation so far. I will focus on the walk animation and find more proper ways to solve it.

Animation Task 1 (ball and box animation)

The final animation about ball and box has a little change to the box when he was bullied by the ball. Instead of bearing insult, the box decided to fight aganist to the ball and bumped him to the sky. Moreover, the light of this animation has been rendered to be more soft than before.
