Here is the second installment of my CAN 1 class blog posts. This post is about my strong poses project. In this project we were required to do one page of exploratory poses that expressed 7 different pre-defined emotions, one page of blocked out scenes to show off our 7 chosen poses and lastly a Maya file and play blast of Bugsy in said poses that we chose earlier.
Pre-Pro was the place to begin. The 7 predefined emotions were relaxed, fear, anger, happiness, sadness, disgust, and the seventh was just a balanced pose on either one foot or one hand. It took me quite a few hours to brainstorm all my poses and I recommend that if you are hitting your head against a brick wall then it is a good idea to just look up reference of people posing.
I then went onto the Maya scene. I began to pose Bugsy into all sorts of poses having fun and trying to create good negative space. All the emotions did not come across as strongly as I wanted but given the limitations that the Bugsy rig has I managed to get the idea across.
This whole video is in stepped so that you focus on the poses themselves. All in all this project helped me stay in touch with the animator within by making me use my MEL button making skills and by allowing me to use the graph editor and dope sheet. Overall tons of fun.
Until next time,
Rebecca Luse
