Last monday is holiday, i do nothing in my proposal..but i try to think what i need to do in 1 minute animation reel.
Before attend class, my idea is find one 3D model and animate it what happen in ship...also facial expression~
After ask Maychan, just need to body language and facial expression. So, i decide to do this in my 1 minute animation reel. Then i need study more about my character's body language and look for more reference. Another is color study also part of work in character design.
Body language is a form of non-verbal communication, which consists of body posture, gestures , facial expressions and eye movements. Humans send and interpret such signals almost entirely subconsciously. Body language may provide clues as to the attitude or state of mind of a person. For example, it may indicate aggression, attentiveness, boredom, relaxed state, pleasure, amusement and intoxication, among many other cues.
I found in another blog named body language research written by another person. He said "As animators, I feel we tend to over-think every pose we use for our characters anyway. By studying acting we have a somewhat decent grasp on what pose a character should hold to communicate their feelings, and how to make a pose feel closed off or open." He also recommend some book to everyone learnt more about language. Example : What Every BODY is Saying , The Definitive Book of Body Language , The Secrets of Body Language.
After that , i find one more is about Body Language Animation Synthesis From Prosody.OMG, too many word..don't know got mood to study it anot~ Mission Impossible!!!!
Now post my character's sketch..and reference~
