Old_Guy

Hello... (excuse my English)

 

This is my first post on the Forum.

I started to work on a animated short idea I have. Here is the link for one of the first tests:

This is one of the last scenes on the short, but is the first one I have animated.

Every comment is welcome.

 

Thanks

I thought it was very good, perhaps a bit too fast for an old man, especially when he sees the first object fall, his reaction was way to fast IMHO.

 

The anticipation on the large third object falling was very good.

Well, is not that the guy is that old!

Maybe I should change the name of the clip.

 

But thanks for the comment. I'll check on those things you sayed.

I agree with Robert, don't know what age you're shooting for but I didn't get "old man" out of the walk at all. Interesting anecdote there was a younger actor playing an older man on a tv show, he put pebbles in his shoes to get the old man walk right... I guess thats why they get the big bucks

Nice. It reads really well, even if it is a proxy model. It also looks like it would work as a silhouette as well?

old man at first I thought some one had modeled me but what I saw looked very good

Nice animation. Just one small thing. The first pebble needs "anticipation". It enters the picture and hits his head in about 1 or 2 frames, and then bounces out of the frame. It's small and hard to spot. You could add some dust or sand falling down before the pebble comes, and maybe increase the pebble size a little. If possible, you should also try and keep it in frame after it hits, maybe by having the character react by moving his head down when hit (so you get more space for the pebble).

 

Other than that. Excellent animation.

Great little animation Devo

very nice first post..and a funky little website.

[devo]

Thanks for the comments!!!!...

 

I'm working on some of the things that have been said.

That comment about the anticipation of the first little rock is very true. It needs something so it reads better. I'll work on that.

 

I will keep posting tests to get you opinions, but maybe, I will create a new topic because "old_guy" is too misleading.

 

Thanks

Enjoyed your animation Devo. The bowl from nowhere made me laugh, not what I expected. I had a look at your demo reel too, nice! Very upbeat.
