This is pretty close to the final version because there is just one week left. About Sean I have to say that he is a great mentor so far, his E-Critique was about 15 min. The second assignment was about creating some expression with Bishop based on some reference pictures.

Another term draws to a close and this is my last assignment for this class. In class 4 we will get the full bishop with some more options than just open and close mouth and eyes. So this is my final body mechanics version :).

AnimationMentor Assignment 308
To make the shot more interesting I added two trees to have something to interact with. I like the kind of second level ... while he's talking about a tree he leans against one. Besides this I pushed the poses and added some more breakdowns.

AnimationMentor 306 & 307
WOW ... it's been a while since I animated my last dialog shot ;). After searching the web for almost four days to find a nice piece of dialog I finally found three nice audio clips (I recommend moviewavs.com). The next step was the thoughtful planing of the shot which means sketching and video reference. After getting my e-critique I did the first blocking pass.

DONE ... This is the final version, of course the are several things which still needs some polishing but deadline is deadline. The next challenge will be finding a nice piece of dialog for the next assignment 🙂

I still have to polish soooooo much ;). But I think it's working a lot better now. The paper grabbing of the 302 version was to disrespectful so I changed it. Hope you like it.
