Maya Stills

-

 

Because I'm not confident with animation or modelling with Maya, and Mike, myself and Maya R. got pretty busy in the past few weeks, I ended up just posing my model and taking screenshots for still images to animate over in the film. It's like a mix between an animatic and animation, which I think was a strong alternative to making something that's a lot more clunky and unrecognisable. Not to mention, I was still confused about cameras in Maya, and he didn't have any facial features so I think the course of action I took was the best one with the time and materials I had. It was actually a lot of fun to animate over the 3D, and I think the mix is a nice addition to the brief. It brings the two worlds together without having the character interact which I believe was a good twist to have in the end.

Even though it's aimed at kids, I found it so gripping, funny, imaginative and well-thoughtout and I'm happy to say it's one of my favourite shows I've ever watched. It has a bit of a slow start, but as you go through the seasons you see clear character development, interesting arcs, and the writers being allowed to be more mature with the content we were seeing without it being edgy or unpleasant. Some shots are so beautiful, and the way it's animated sets the mood completely. There's goofy frames that use animation to stretch the character's limits and get laughs, and there's times where you feel very calm because they're using soft visuals to enhance the serenity of the shot. It's a show I've been left feeling empty after finishing it, becaus...
