Villain and Prisoner Dialogue WIP

[coyoteblk]

Here is a two character dialogue WIP. I've finished the 1st pass on the villain character and I'm still working on the first pass for the prisoner. I've also made sure to add a frame counter. Also, for some reason the last 13 frames got cut out during compression in After Effects, I don't know why, hopefully I can fix that the next time I render out of After Effects.

Couple things I plan to do for the animation.
Pass 2: work on arcs and secondary motion.
Pass 3: Facial animation, Eye blinks, Eye animation, Lipsync.
Pass 4: Polish and misc tweaks.
I'm also thinking about toning down the leg movement in the beginning for the prisoner. In any case I appreciate all feedback and all C&C is welcome. Thanks

Strong start. Nice Staging. Id zoom in a bit closer but thats just me. Very natural movement so far. Cant wait to see the final result.

After getting some feedback from several animators, friends and other random people I have changed certain details for this animation. Hopefully this version is easier to read and is more entertaining to watch. All critiques and comments welcome.

Unfortunately, I don't have a higher resolution version available online, sorry, hopefully youtube quality is good enough. As far as what I've changed I basically made the Villain(foreground guy) less stiff, and I have switched the focus on the hands later on in the animation. As usual, all crits and comments are encouraged. If all goes as planned, I should have the final version up on Monday. Oh, and thanks for the comment Calcuttason!!

Well, I have finally finished this animation. First, I would like to thank everybody who gave me their feedback and critiques. Also, their are two versions of the final render. One is more saturated, and one is more faded looking. Also again, I still welcome all constructive feedback about the animation. Both animations have High Quality viewing possible on their youtube pages, it's up to you whether or not to view it in high quality. There should be text in the lower right corner saying watch in High quality for those interested. Enjoy.

Overall, I would say I'm satisfied with the final outcome. Granted I still wanted to add more polish and to change up a couple poses, but time is up and this is what I've got. I'll just make sure to take what I've learned from this animation and apply it to my next piece.
