Final Animation

Here is the final Animation for this brief. I have made some minor tweaks to the previous upload such as improving pieces of animation and general video editing. However one thing I did not get chance to do is add sound to my video which I think would have further enhanced my final animation.

The reason I chose this solution for my Project was because I believe that it relates to context of my animation which is to stand up against violence rather than sit back and let it happen to you. this is shown through the metaphor of the punch being a human who gets beaten up. At the end message appears saying "Say No to Violence" which also means don't let this happen to you.

Test Final video

First attempt of my final animation with all the different camera angles combined. However I will make some adjustments, to the walking animation and overall video editing.

3DS rig head & punch bag

For my punch bag I wanted to be able to get across that it was alive. However I knew that to create a rig for this by scratch would take too long to complete within the time frame that I have, therefore I decided to take the 3ds max stock rig and remove everything but the head and facial features. This left me with a fully rigged face. I then attached this to my already existing punch bag which I had previously modeled, giving me the end result you see here.

Assets for scene

I have started adding props to my scene before doing my final render, I started with a simple weights frame to show that I have used basic colours to texture this rather than use texture maps because I beleive that this will be quicker and will give me the effect that I need.

The next prop that I added was a bench for lifting weights Again I have used the same methods I used to create the weights prop it also uses basic colours rather than a texture map.

And finally I've added a basic locker for the background, just to show that the character is in a gym as there would be lockers to store belongings. This locker has been made using the same method as the previous 2 assets.

Animatic

Animatic for my 3d animation. which will be my template for the layout of my animation. I will also try to get my final animation to mach the duration of this clip.

Initial Story Boards

For this Brief I have decided that I would like to do something based upon 3D animation therefore I will be creating a short piece based on  Punch bag and a boxer. 

The first thing that Here I have drawn out my initial story board for my 3D animation piece I will be using this as a reference for my work later on. I did this to mock out the story of my animation.
