pantomime update n lotsa stuff
here’s the update on the pantomime:
first of all, changed the way he held the ball. checked the arcs. and workin a bit on the eyes and accentuated the pondering look he had on his face just before he examines the ball. Understood a lot more things i sudnt do in the future, but its kinda hard to avoid them.

drop by a comment if u feel like.
The maquette i was working on still needs lots of work. And the best part is ild hav to do the thing all over, coz we didnt hav a good reference and that created some unsolvable problems. But m still gonna finish this one n get an understanding of how to polish the stuff. Pics of the making of it in a few days..
ciao

Planning!
Yup, Planning, Planning, PLANNING.
So many times ive been told to plan things out and its been said in all the resource available over the net, that i thought i should make a mental note for myself. N thats y this post.
Better late than never, i guess. It not that i didnt plan my anims b4. I didnt plan it enough. I was always more anxious to jump in n start animating. And i guess thats why it took me a such a lont time to finish the turn, becoz i myself wasnt sure abt how the final anim should look. I remember gettin up from my chair n turning around in the room, whenever i got stuck. IT HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES!! Dad caught me a few times, turning around the computer, when he woke up at nyt. heh.
Hopefully, i stick to my senses n do more of planning from now on. Pretty soon Planning wud b my middle name.. :D . Its always fun to dream.
k then ive spent enough of my time over this post. M planning to plan my shot now.
