Final Demo Reel

I'm done. :D Will probably still tweak it over the next few weeks, but I'm happy with how it looks.

Added more time to the scene 27 where she gets dragged under the bed. I'm not sure if it adds too much time now or not...The audio doesn't line up anymore, I need to inform my audio person of the time change so the audio can be fixed to work with it.

The scene where she opens the closet is not changed in this video. It's rendering right now.

June 14th Demo Reel

I have a few scenes rendered out now, to see how the lighting is working. I didn't use the sky shader because I didn't like it's effect. The audio is final. And I love it. Tons of thanks to CJ for that.

Scene 10 rendered

Scene 10 rendered out. She's right beside the window.

Scene 5

I tried to relight this scene using the Sky Shader to remedy my light problem, but I'm not sure if I like the way it looks...Need to play with it some more.

Scene 5 Lighting Issue

So for some reason, there's a light bouncing off the floor that I really don't want. I'm not sure which light could be causing this issue. I have two haystacks, but I can't get rid of them or else I lose all of my lighting for the scene.


Here's the scene:

Demo Reel with Audio

Same reel from this morning. But here's the start of the audio for it. Sounds really good so far, and seems to add a lot to the film. Sets the mood a lot better. The bear hitting the floor makes me giggle.

Just a picture of what the lighting in Scene 10 looks like. I've been trying to get a render going, but my computer decided crashing was far more fun and helpful for me. Instead of finishing the render, like it should.

Revised more scenes. Timing should be set.

Demo Reel

Redid the walk, fixed a few other scenes. Changed a bit of the timing again. Hopefully the timing is set now.

Scene 29

Finally figured out the face morph.

Walk cycle

Walk cycle... done in about two hours.

May 31st Demo Reel

Updated with two more scenes. Two scenes still need to be keyed, and I'm working on the face morph with the last scene still. I'll update it again when they are complete

Demo Reel thus far

Beginning scenes are keyed in now.

Alpha Reel

My Alpha Reel, posted for PPW.

Some scenes still need tweaks, but I do like how the timing is going and how the scenes are matching up.

Currently trying to get the tentacle to pull her blanket up. Also her shoulder seems to poke through the blanket after I put a nail in for the end of the bed.

Demo Reel May 17th

3D Reel thus far May 10th

Scene 20 revisions.

I textured her eyes finally, the other way I had been doing it was too confusing to see what her eyes were doing.

Scene 14 Revised

Walk still needs some work, tried to fix camera angle more.

Scene 21 Revised

I still have to do the simulation on her blanket, but I fixed the tentacles.

Scene 22 Revised

Her arms move up now more at the end.

Scene 22 Keys

She backs up a bit more than what is shown, but youtube cut it off.

Scene 21 Keys

The other creature is now in the bed, I was trying to get her to look like she was lying down, but youtube cut off the end.

Scene 20 keys

I hate youtube. It needs to stop cutting the scenes off.

Scene 14 Keys

The camera is still moving forward too fast. I'm still working on it.

Scene 19

Okay, so I'm having a fun issue with my scene 19. For some reason, when her eyelids open close slider is keyed at any point in time, the slider will stop working. It seems to lock the animation on the eyelids completely. I've asked other people, and tried everything I can think of, but it doesn't work. Any suggestions would be helpful.

3D reel Thus far.

Since I've been animating scenes out of order, the beginning of the animation and then end of the animation are just the old story reel scenes. Some scenes are almost fully animated, others are just keyed.

Scene 16

She's opening the door wider. There's not much else that happens in this scene other than that. Youtube really needs to stop cutting these scenes off...

Scene 14 Keys

She's walking up to her closet door. I think I need to slow down her walk and make it more of a shuffle.

Scene 10 Revised

Scene 11 Revised

Scene 15 Revised

Fixed the hands some more.

Scene 17 revised

Added some more bounce to the bear.

Scene 10 Inbetween

Here's my Scene 10 Inbetweened and revised. I am having issues with the bat popping in and out currently. After the scene is played through once, the bat doesn't show up until she grabs it if it is replayed. I need to know how to make it stay put at the beginning of the animation.

Again, Youtube cut off the end.

The scene File can be downloaded here:

I'm having a bit of problem with her hand on the door. Trying to fix that.

She's peeking into her closet by the way.

Scene 17 Rough Keys

Scene 15 Rough Keys

Scene 12 Rough Keys

Not much to say about this scene, she's basically just worked up her courage and walks off screen. Yeah.

Scene 11 Rough Keys

Again the whole looking nervous and shaking thing made her look strange. She's supposed to take a breath before she changes her expression.

Scene 10 Rough Keys

So for this scene I wanted her hand to be slightly shaking, like she was nervous and hesitant to grab the bat. But I couldn't achieve the effect I wanted without it looking like her hand was having a seizure... I'm trying to find an effective way to get this effect.

3D Story Reel

There's just a few more revisions left to do now.

The little girls room.

A quick texture of the tentacle, plus a small video of it.

Little Girl

The girl rig with some texture on her.

As of now, her rig is working except for the dress crashes through the body when her arms are moved forward. I'm wondering if Cloth Simulation will work better.

Character

The character I will be using for my animation. I still need to finish rigging and texturing her.

Changeling - Story Reel

The first version of my story reel. There's still some revisions to be made, but this is what I have thus far.
