Light Feeder Video Crit

Since this was an unusually long visual crit, I broke up the video into several parts.  I know you love to hear my voice drone on so now you can indulge with segments!

I think the project is at a great jumping off point and we can start to dive into rough animation/performance.

Spider Feedback

Scn3…remember to avoid robotic and stiff movements to have your character move in arcs…also have the body move up and down and lean into the movement as well.

Scn 5…Shot needs to be tighter on the face…like story board….also may need a little more time on the shot…it seems a little rush.

Scn 6: Mary flies in and out a little too fast.

Scn 21: Stage Larry closer to right and lean his body into the pose.

Scn 24: Make sure the face is more towards the camera like storyboard so we can read the expression with more clarity.  Also, don’t animate the character too much if there’s no poses in the boards…it can distract from the expression and leave less time for the audience to read it.

Scn25: Make sure you follow your boards in your layout…the bee needs to match the same position of boards as it reads better.  Also Mary needs to be tighter in the shot.

Scn 43: Have an upshot to create a more ominous shot…also the force perspective helps lead the eye into the dramatic shot

Scn 46: I know this is just the layout stage, but make sure you put some force or line of action into Mary’s action.  This will add life and vitality into limited animation.

Scn 68: Finally have the 2nd frog closer into the foreground and push the 1st frog back…you’ll get both their expressions and at the same time preserve spatial relationships.
