Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 4, 2004 Hash Fellow Posted December 4, 2004 From the four-hour Animation Showdown, my finest achievement in grotesque overacting so far: Fated Phone Call! (QT 217K) bonus animation: Dig (QT 85K) See if you can tell where my four hours ran out. Suggestions are welcome. Quote
higginsdj Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 There were 6 distinct pose related actions with not much going on between them. Some different camera angles/shots/moves wouldn't have gone astray either but given the 4 hour time limit I think you did pretty well - overacting or not Cheers Quote
hypnomike Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Heh heh! Great work, I love overacting! Quote
ZachBG Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Fated Phone Call! (QT 217K) I thought this was fantastic. The quick, darting eye movements really added a lot to his thought process. (Although I'll never understand why you didn't give him eyelids.) It might have been nice to make him more casual when answering the phone, to provide a contrast with his reaction as The News was relayed. Oh, and don't be so stingy with the compression! (Said the cable modem whore.) Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted December 5, 2004 Author Hash Fellow Posted December 5, 2004 Thanks for watching and making comments! There were 6 distinct pose related actions with not much going on between them. Well, my hope was that he would appear to be listening during the pauses, then reacting to what he heard. But if it just looks like arbitrary poses strung together then that wasn't successful. It might have been nice to make him more casual when answering the phone, You're right. The one thing I changed between the contest version and this post was to make him glance at the phone, but that was a bad idea. Indifference was better. (Although I'll never understand why you didn't give him eyelids.)Don't they say "If you blink, you lose"? Oh, and don't be so stingy with the compression!The file was too small... or too big? I love overacting! Working toward my diploma from the "Make'em See It In The Back Row" school of acting. Quote
higginsdj Posted December 5, 2004 Posted December 5, 2004 Hi Robert, I guess I was trying to point out that the body appeared static whilst he was listening (or any body motion you had in there was a little to subtle) Cheers Quote
starving4rtist Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 Great job on both! I personally like the pauses in the phone one. If you get a chance you should add more to the end of the digging one. Each time I watched it I just wanted to see him hit the ground as the shovel suddenly moves.... Quote
ZachBG Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 Oh, and don't be so stingy with the compression!The file was too small... or too big? Too small. Things became muy pixelated. Quote
