This week, Ting provided a Facial Animation Demo, and we continued learning about facial animation. Through the demonstration, I understood more about how a character’s expression is created through the eyes, eyebrows, mouth, and small facial details. I realised that facial animation is not only about creating different expressions, but also about making the transitions between them feel natural, clear, and emotionally readable.
This week, I also continued working on Facial Poses Anim – Second Pass. Compared with the first version, the second pass required more detailed adjustments. I tried to make the expressions clearer so that the audience could easily understand the character’s emotions.
At the same time, I continued polishing the Heavy Object & Change of Mind assignment. I tried to use body posture, timing, and a sense of effort to make the heavy object feel more believable, while also using acting to show the character’s “change of mind.”
Overall, Week 7 was mainly about refining animation details.
