This week’s tasks mainly included two parts: Creature Locomotion polish and Advanced Animation Shot planning.
For the Creature Locomotion task, I continued working on the butterfly flight animation. During the polish stage, I focused on adjusting the rhythm of the wings, the up-and-down movement of the body, and the flight path. I wanted the butterfly to look more natural and gentle, rather than moving in a mechanical way.
At the same time, I also started preparing for the Advanced Animation Shot. This assignment will continue from Week 16 to Week 19, and the final outcome should be a 5–12 second advanced animation shot. I plan to create a shot of a girl dancing. Compared with a simple action, dancing requires more attention to body rhythm, weight shift, and the flow between movements. It is also a good opportunity for me to practise more complex body mechanics.
