Final Short Film Idea

So I've come up with this idea for the short film. This guy (protagonist) is at a cafe enjoying coffee and reading a newspaper. A rich snob (antagonist) sits at his table. Protagonist recognizes him as the person his wife is having an affair with but Antagonist doesn't know that Protagonist knows and is here to break it to him. Antagonist had secretly installed a bomb (or whatever it is, I don't know what yet) below the Protagonist's chair before he came and is waiting for the show. He goes to the bathroom to call the Wife to come and witness the show as well. But little did he know, Protagonist already found out and has switched the bomb onto the other chair while he was at the bathroom. The Wife arrives only to witness the rich guy getting blown up or whatever. She decides to go back to Protagonist who sees that she is a player and then pushes her aside.

So how long is this short film? And does it need to have dialogue? Where do we get the dialogue? I think this is too long and complicated so I might come up with another simpler one. XD

What's in the Box Keys

Gesture 2

So here are my gestures of Kevin Won. As a random note, the mysterious hand in the first picture is not supposed to be there because it's from the next page. Haha! My animation key frames for 316 will be posted later!

ACM318 composition and portraits

Please click on the picture above to enlarge it. And below are the portraits I drew on Monday's class. Guess who they are!

ACM316 ball throw (2nd revision) and box gestures

I changed his arms moving forward before catching the ball instead of the ball floating into his hands. I also made his head turn first instead of having his body turn and still facing front. I also added some eye blinks at the end. As for the running stop, I still cannot get it. Actually, I think I made it worse...







Here are my "What's in the Box" gestures. As for the little blurb in first person: "Euurggh, I don't want any medicine. Take it away! Do I really have to drink it...? *gaaaasssp* Holy crap, it's a PS3!!!!"

Gesture 1

Sorry for the late comments, it was late last night so I just posted the picture. Anyway, here is my first gesture drawing for ACM 318. Actually, is this considered a gesture? I see everyone else in the class posting their one-minute gestures as well. I did not scan that because my one-minute gestures are too squiggly and messy.

ACM316 ball throw (updated)

Managed to scan this at my workplace but still cannot control the shimmering lines caused by my setting the brightness and contrast in Photoshop. Anyway, I added squash and stretch, fixed the body turn and the weight shifting. I also made a new opening and ending pose.

ACM316 ball throw

Sorry for the bad quality this time. I had no access to a scanner and had to use my Mac's Photo Booth to take the pictures. I've also forgotten to make in-betweens for some keys so it looks like it skips in some parts. And worst of all, I've forgot about squash and stretch when he's walking...

I will re-scan this when my scanner arrives in the mail! Argh, this is my worst animation ever. Now going to complete my Maya homeworks. *grumble*
