Animation

The characters used in these playblast were modelled and rigged by mohamed warsaw, and animated by myself Frank Eagan, the group met on various occasions and we would decide on pieces of animation that we would do amongst ourselsves, according to what was required for the short film, i did a child walk cycle, an individual getting shot, a man seated at a table who stands to hes feet, an interaction between two men in the street ( one of the men points out the trouble then spins to make a swift exit, whilst the other man involved in the interaction turns to see the source of the probem, who alos in hes best interest runs to safety.Problems i encountered where due to the rig, i was unable to animate finger movements as the fingers were not rigged limiting certain movements within the animation, also the shouders , were not able to rotate, proving near impossible to counter balance the body in hip rotations. the model deformed in certain positions, resulting in less exagerated posses. i was set specific scenes to animate for the short film, which as a group we decided in our meetings.
