Second post of the evening, just to cover the emotion change excercise that we were given last week.
I ended up working on mine very late and close to the deadline, due to complications with my previous attempt at the excercise. This is my reasoning for its obvious shoddiness.
I had two finishes to this one:
SAD TO ANGRY
& SAD TO HAPPY
The reason the I did not hand in the first one is because I felt that by making the character stand I was making a mistake in terms of camera and silhouette, the animation at the end is choppy, unimaginative and rigid.
That said, the latter is hardly better. There are obvious problems with silhouette, it is very difficult to see what is actually happening in the pose. As was also pointed out to me, the whole sequence needs longer pauses at crucial points, such as when he drops the harmonica, or when he inspects the coin. I think that the main issue is that I just didn't spend enough time on it, making sure that it was smooth, well timed and clear to the viewer what was happening.
