Happy_Endings_28/11/13

Today is the last day of our week and I have finally caught up on EVERYTHING!

Now i am trying to give our group an extra hand by completing anything that is left to do.

We have started rednering and are in the process of tidying up our shots and animating the last few shots we have left.

I animated shot 20 today which was one of the few shots left. It was a simple scene that involved katie lying on the ground with the tyre swing swinging very lightly.

The hardest part of this shot was trying to position katie into a believable pose where she looks like she has fallen over unconscious.

Every time we tried to position her, the mesh would glitch and would muck up to the point where I had to edit the mesh a little so that it didn't look out of place.

 This is the exact same shot from the animatic that we had. I couldn't quite get Katie to pose like this as her rig wouldn't allow her body to twist as much and her arms are much shorter which won't allow for the reach she has in the animatic. We compromised by slightly changing her pose to one where she is lying face down instead of on her side and we fully hid the bottom leg because the mesh screwed up when it was visible.

I am really happy with the way the shot turned out.
