Tone Death Day 28

Date: 12/02/2019
Hours: 8:30am-10am, 11am-12pm, 1pm-4:30pm (6 hours)
What I did: Today I focused on getting my references complete for my journal and updating the turnaround for the younger version of Charlie.

I started off today by going through each of my journal entries to see if I had used references where I needed to. Why is because adding quotes either from books or sites can help me back up my point rather than me saying anything and it coming off as unreliable and made up. I made a list of sites I used and took quotes from and then turned them into Harvard references, how I did this was by using the UWE site and using the templates and instructions given to me so my references are correct.

The reason why I had to update the turnaround for Charlie was because of the t-pose in the concept. The t-pose did not match to the scale of Charlie's head, arms and legs, I should have noticed this when first creating it. Not noticing this resulted in the modeller not being able to create the model of Charlie straight away and me having to go back to work on it again, resulting in me not being able to do sketches. How I updated it was because using the front view of Charlie and going over it and changing the position of the arms. I made sure that the anatomy was correct for the arms and the muscles react correctly, also I had to think about how the clothing would be affected by the position of the arms. Since he is wearing a waistcoat it would be keeping the shirt from coming out too much, so there wouldn't be a lot of the shirt showing from the underneath of the arm.

I also managed to get in a quick sketch of an establishing shot, showing the table. The reason why I focused on this shot was because of how we decided to move where the pile of letters would be in the house, so I wanted to do a final sketch that my team could use for the storyboard.

Tone Death Day 11

Date: 25/01/2019 Hours: 8:30am-12pm, 1pm-4pm, 6:30pm-7pm (7 hours) What I did:Today I focused on making some final adjustments to Todd's turnabout, why I did this was because based on feedback I changed his hand so it was then bigger and easier to model. How I did this get reference of a hand where all the fingers were spaced out, the reason why is because if all the fingers were spaced out it would be easier to see each individual finger and thus easier to model. This resulted in the hand being larger, however that did not affect the overall look. I also made this change to Charlie since his hand was in the same situation so I made the change to his hands too. After making the adjustments I went onto finishing off the initial thumbnails for the storyboard. I set out to sketch the outline, the reason why was since these were the initial concepts it would make more sense to keep them rough since the likelihood of them changing would be very high. I managed to sketch out t...

Tone Death Day 2

Date: 16/01/2019 Hours: 9am-12am, 9pm-10pm (4 hours) What I did: Today I focused on using the moodboards I created the previous and applying what I learnt to my work. I start by sketching out possible facial expressions for Charlie, Why I did this was to get an understanding on how his face would look in whilst he is conveying different, such as what position and angle would his nose be at. Creating these sketches helped me get a better understanding of how to use facial expressions to convey certain emotions. I also went onto creating full body of Charlie to get a visual understanding of his appearance, I used the another moodboard I created looking at stylised characters and used that as a reference for when creating Charlie. I started off by creating silhouettes, why I did this was to get his shape down before trying to do any detailed pieces. I then went onto making a more detailed full body of Charlie after deciding on a silhouette. Areas that I feel that I could have improv...

Tone Death Day 18

Date: 1/02/2019 Hours: 8:30am-12pm, 1pm-2:30pm, 3pm-4pm (6 hours) What I did: Today I focused on starting and finishing the turnaround for the older version of Charlie, when he's 85. The reason why I started to now was because me and my teammate have started creating for thumbnails for the final act of the animation and it focuses on the old version of Charlie, I thought it would be best if I focused on creating the young version of Charlie and Todd for when doing the first two acts. However, I am not sure if I would have taken less time if I did all the characters and turnarounds at the same time, nonetheless, I manged to create this turnaround much faster than the other two. The reason why is that I copied the shape of young Charlie and then altered it to show that he had gotten older, examples would be that he has shrunk somewhat in his old age, wrinkles and his hair is gone only leaving the outline. I am pleased with the quality and also how fast I was able to finish the turn...
