The work: Mime Animation

I clip the performance of Mime before i do the Mime animation. Because the time of animation should limited in 30 seconds. Besides, make sure the audience could understand what going on in scene. I divided  into three steps.

Step1: A man is walking dog in the park with good mood. He love his dog so much. The dog was a naughty dog, he always pull master go anywhere. The dog stopped and have a rest after walking tired. Then the man squatted and caressing the dog's body.

Step2: The dog was guided by a man to go to the direction of the right hand side. But the dog motionless no matter the man how to pulling leash. 

Step3: Suddenly，the dog start to move, running in the opposite direction. The man grabbed the leash to stop dog run. After a tough pull, the man was pulled outside of the shots by dog.

The blocking of Mime animation

This is the blocking of Mime animation. In the process of production, I use a moving box instead dog in the scene. It's easy to do animation and be a reference. There can be more convenient and intuitive. Through the blocking, I need to improve in some places.







Need improve:
1. This man walking too stiff and too mechanical.
2. The man need more reflection when dog pulling leash.
3. Some actions should be more exaggerated.

The breakdown of Mime animation
This is the breakdown of Mime animation. I was change a lot of details after tutorial. The walking looks nature and adds more reflections between man and dog; however, i changed some normal poses be more exaggerated. For example, the man pulled leash very hard in the ending of animation. Although the breakdown looks better than last time, but also need change a lot be better.

Need improve:
1. The walking should be more nature and relax, especially the movement of feet and legs.
2. Delay the thinking time before squatting.
3. Keeping the center of gravity when he cornering.  
4. Pay more attention in hands movement, especially fingers.
5. The hand raised too high, should put hands lower to match the dog size.

The final Mime animation
This is the final render animation. I adjusted the lighting and material for this mime animation. I want the movement of the man looks more real with performative. So i made the background be a small theatre. I am try to change some problems from breakdown, and now here presented the final effect. I hope tutor and friends could give me some feedbacks to make this mime be more perfect.
