Egyptian discovery week 2


After some notes from my mentor, she really wanted me to change the first and last parts.


I'm so glad for Nicole's feedback too. I think it's a much better shot.


Although - I still have concerns that with the 200 frame limit I'm going through all the ideas I want to cover very quickly.

A physical pharoah shot


This is my last shot for this class on advanced body mechanics.


I really wanted to do a heavy push, just because it's one of the key physical tests you need to get right in order to correctly show the weight of objects in your animation.


Getting the right reversals in the spine and showing the strain are important.


My set design is pretty basic at this stage, but given how little time I have, I'd rather get the animation blocked in first.

Final commando shot


Wow - well there was no doubt this was the hardest shot I've had to do yet.


So much physical action, and so many things to pay attention to.


If I get a chance I wouldn't mind going in and really polishing the final 10% into this one, but all things considered I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.

Command climb


Here's the first blocking pass of my next shot.


It's my first time doing a run, as well as putting some physical climbing and jumping in there as well.


Lots of great action in there. Hopefully I can pull it off and make it look realistic and entertaining.
