Major using 15fps compared to 25fps depending on the objective of the scene

 (15fps)


(25fps)
I prefer the 15fps, not because it is faster, but as I've been using Maya more, the speed of the movement follows a spline tangent with ease in and ease out making the motion more smoother and easier to digest. In the 25fps everything is the same pace, so certain mouth shapes and extensions of the jaw lose importance due to being equal with the remaining frames. The 15fps is not just 15fps, I added some 3's, 5's, 7's, a mix of other smaller numbers to make a faster swing on some frames.

Major final animation

This is it, the final animation, the culmination of all these months and blog posts. There was a slight hesitation on "WHEN" to post it leading up to it due to rendering times, but as it's complete and there's no reason to add extra stress and upload it on the last day, which is the 18th of May, I'll upload it now. Reacting to the animation, I'm quite proud of how far I've come from the previz. During the previz stage, I was unaware of Substance Painter and how much it could do for me. I was also unaware of After Effects, as I prioritized Adobe Premiere above it. However, I have found After Effects more user-friendly and powerful, regardless of my prior history with other editing software. As displayed in my blog posts by me, I did have to look at Youtube for help, and I was honest with that to help me improve on unfamiliar equipment.

Major not losing lighting

  This is the original scene when the boy is amazed by the stairs sign in the new flat.  I added lips to my character in this scene, but if you look closely there are highlights on his bottom lip, the original scene did have highlights around the mouth so I did not want to lose that.
