This week we had a very spected short week which gave us lots of reflection and peace time to get back to the usual hard work.
Still on monday we had the last day of our puppets work shop which ended with the most important part of the whole thing.......... HOW TO ANIMATE, yes as you read it. they showed us how to do the actual thing that for me at the star was, at least in my head a very easy thing to do, but as the afternoon went on it seemed much more difficult than what i thought and i really mean it much much more difficult.
SO....I liked it, it was very intresting, good and a very important thing to do.
Still we went into the part i liked the most which i thought was the most interestin part and what simbolizes the whole idea of this blog the EYES......
Yes, if you are to control or as they call it animate the puppet we have to focus in the eyes the fhrase is, "Yo are to look through the puppet to animate it well".
All the concentration comes from the focus and the focus in animation is in the eyes, when you are to master the art of animating you are going to seem to be one with your puppet, the puppet wont only look as a toll but as an extension of your body, something that feels like you feel and is connected to your brain were you canalyse what you want and shows what you want to show. It is like when you work with your pencil, it thinks what you think but also does the action, though it is not something else that works for itself.
In the same way when you look throught the puppet you are connecting with it and it is only broken when you stop looking.
When you talk about the eyes your entry starts getting good. But don't forget about the other keys to animation, such as the axis and the way of making the puppet go from one place to another. What did you experience when you were handling the puppet? What made you concentrate for the first time in your life?
ResponderEliminarDevelop the metaphor of the pencil - it is quite good.
