Over Christmas and New Year I wanted to relax a little so I decided as a one off I'd create a short scene and share with you the stages in which it was created, as opposed to what i usually upload.
The audio was taken from 11secondclub's December competition.
This video is a direct rip-off of this - • CGI & VFX Breakdowns: ...
I started by staging the scene using the two characters in the environment, to give me a general sense of positioning and timing.
Following this I sketched out the extreme poses for both the sniper and the engineer.
With prep work completed, I blocked out the scene. The engineer's walk was created using a straight ahead method, where I'd create each pose one after the other. This took a long time and made for a few errors. In hindsight I should have just blocked out the extremes and then done the inbetweens, as I did for the sniper once he'd stopped walking to face the engineer.
When I was happy with what I'd blocked out, I switched the tangents to spline mode and started the arduous task of deleting keys and correcting curves. Thankfully having blocked out the scene meant there was very little "new" animation to create on top of what I'd done so far.
I did the lip sync as well as the facial animation while in spline mode (I only created the main expressions while blocking).
The scene was made over a few weeks, though being that it was Christmas I took the occasional day away from working on this animation, as well as taking a relaxed attitude to finish it, which is why I can only offer an approximate time in which it took to complete.
