For this week’s homework, let’s use a simple model to make a walk, and use a human model to pose, so that people can feel the sense of weight.

Amin, who is of Afghan descent, has settled down in Denmark and is about to marry a gay couple. In the face of the happiness within reach, there is an insoluble knot in the heart, the memory of childhood suffering, still lingering after growing up. Childhood infatuated with Jean-Claude van Damme, but born in troubled times, home quiet life was destroyed by the war, he fled with his family to Moscow, and then the painstaking smuggling to Copenhagen. In the form of animation, the director asked his friend Amin to tell the truth and recall the days when he was drifting from place to place, and the corrupt police and cold-blooded snakeheads he had met. The last thing that can’t escape is the secret that has been pressing on my heart.
With the development of scientific records, the evolution of humanistic thoughts and the change of people’s subjective consciousness, the creation techniques of documentaries are also ever-changing greatly. However, its core has not changed. It is undeniable that documentary, as a form of record created by people, still needs more needs to reflect people’s subjective consciousness and common life experience. It cannot be completely objective Among them.
Recording cartoons has more advantages. Although it is based on the historical restoration of scientific basis, no one can guarantee that science is 100% correct. So its authenticity is not comparable to the documentary. And films created by people are bound to be more subjective than documentaries. But he can restore clips that a documentary can’t restore, and it is actually more artistic than documentaries. It can also be said that animated documentaries are a derivative of documentaries, but more like an art form.
This week’s lesson teaches us simple character modeling and binding, using group to determine the hierarchy, and using parent to bind to the controller.
The leg was first skeletonized and the IK was established.
In this week’s MAYA course, I learned how to walk with flour bag and how to build IK on the basis of bones.
It is an animated short film released in Japan in 2017 by the author 山村浩二. It mainly shows documents of fictional monsters written by fictional monster scholars in medieval Europe. Where did they come from? Where were they going? Strange text and the ecology of monsters, unfolding with English and Japanese subtitles.
The background of the work is like a picture book of primary school students, which is cheerful, entertaining and full of imagination. I think the author wants to let the audience exert their imagination through such a technique of expression, and also shows the importance of animation principle.
I think the work has educational significance. It is just like a picture book, which introduces each character to the audience. Therefore, this presentation method can make the audience pay more attention to the characters. The large English and Japanese annotations are like those in popular science books, and the kraft paper in the background is more like reading a book.
The material used in the production is like a pen on the paper, which makes the audience feel brought in. The most common animation principle gives people the original animation, highlighting the design and imagination of each character in the short film.
In the short film, each character is placed in the center of the stage. As for the middle of the audience’s perspective, the fusion of weird and quaint is very interesting. The vivid image, interesting creativity, and rich colors make people feel like watching another picture book at any time. The background music in the film is a cheerful steel piano music, which is matched with the harpsichord. It is very advanced, and the music speed changes in an orderly way, allowing the audience to integrate into it.
In this week’s MAYA study, I learned the use of groups and parent, made a simple rigging to arms composed of multiple objects, and used locater to establish parents, so as to control the switch between arm and ball.
The secret life of Walter Mitty tells a warm story, Walter. Miti, a film washing manager who has worked in Life magazine for 16 years, is introverted and unable to even talk to his favorite colleague Sheryl. As a bystander, he often “dreams” as a day hero. Until one day the company was acquired and the magazine needed to do the cover of the last issue, and the key to its success was to find a roll of film from the wild photographer Sean, Walter finally approached Sheryl, and was encouraged by her and her mother on a real adventure, the ice fields, the sea, the Himalayas… Walter’s daydreams are far less magnificent than reality.
I divided the story line into eight parts:
(1)The hero is introverted and a dreamer. He does not dare to take the first step to treat the beloved person. Life is boring and boring.
(2) The hero learns that the company is going bankrupt, so he will wash the cover photos of the magazine for the last time.
(3) The protagonist discovers that the cover photo of the last magazine was not sent to him by the photographer, afraid that the leader scolding scold.
(4) The hero has no choice but to look for a photographer.
(5) Along the way through the adventure of the ocean and the volcano, the hero gradually love life.
(6) During the time limit, the hero did not find the photos, was expelled from the company, and gradually passed away from the beloved person.
(7) Finally, the hero finds that the photos are all around him, and the most beautiful photos is himself who loves life.
(8) The hero transcends himself, gets true love, and enjoys life.
I think the prototype of the protagonist is an introverted, timid, content with the status quo, before the start of the movie, he lived the same life every day, not too much social, but he loves his work, every day in the dark room witnessed the birth of every photo, he will do different daydream every day, treat beloved things and people only dare to view, dare not take the first step.
In modern AI has been developing rapidly, many functions are gradually developed, I saw a news about artist AI painting instead of human beings, you only need to enter a few words in the site, the AI can help you in five minutes to complete a picture of original paintings, details don’t lose the painter, who has decades of experience, we often say that human creativity is unique not to be replaced, Is this view about to be rewritten by AI?

When it comes to the shark, it is easy to think of 1975 directed by Steven spielberg movie “jaws”, the film tells a man named Amy’s summer resort town on the island of offshore appeared a huge man-eating sharks, a number of visitors is killed, the local sheriff in a Marine biologist and the help of a professional shark catchers determined to kill the shark.
In the homework last week, I also used maya to make the animation of shark swimming, which used the deformer and path animation in the course.
This is an assignment for our first week, mainly to let us understand the basic principles of character animation, such as acceleration and deformation.
