Photos for blend shape reference

Here are some photos i have taken of my face.

ENJOY!

I have looked through the animatic and have taken photos of all the faces the boy pulls throughout the film.

I will choose the best ten or so and draw Joseph pulling those faces, then send them to Matt Beale to model.

Me pulling faces

What am i doing?

I have looked at the animatic and have taken photos of myself showing the different expressions the boy has.



i am currently drawing out facial expressions for the boy to give to Matt Beale so he can model the different heads for blend shapes.

Basic untimed animatic

Here is the animatic we will use as reference to the camera shots and scenes. Once completing the blockout, scenes will be edited down and timing will be added.

BLACKNESS>>>> AHHHHHH!

Arm Weighted

Here shows the extremes of the boys arms

Weighting complete

After a long journey, i have finished weighting the boy. I had to stop where i felt i couldn't improve anymore. I think the weighting could be better but this is the best i could do with the time i have.

This is showing the extremes of his legs:



Please excuse the strange black areas??! - it wont go!
