I thought today would be a fine day to do a stream of blogs, This one is explaining my idea and what i hope to achieve from it, The next one will show some storyboard ideas and character designs and my final blog for today will be a comparison of different animation types and a small comparison of different animators and how they portray emotions.
Now for my idea, As i mentioned in my previous post the idea is generally a test for me to show emotion with animation as its something i've rarely touched upon but know that it would be needed in a industry job after speaking to a member of Jagex at the recent brains eden event. The emotion will be shown on a robot that will be designed using a human skeleton reference with alterations to add a level of surrealism.
The main story is that a robot has woken up from a long storage in a apocalyptic world. Because it has never been exposed to anything outside of its factory the main emotion i want to show is fascination with everything it finds.
After a brief walk it finds a CD which it scans and plays, When the music comes on it changes its walking and body posture to match the music playing. I'm aiming to show Happiness, Depression, Fear and Excitement with different music tracks and movements.
The animation will be made in 3Ds max and edited in a Sony Vegas as it is the most suited to add in the relevant effects needed for each emotion and editing.
Well thats all for now, Coming next update.... a currently un named robot with a bibliography entry :D
