	Project 3b Clarification Download Earl here. 1. The audio for your lip sync will be your very own voice.... Brendan will show you how to record your voice for the project. Ham it up. You have two choices for audio: "I'm soooo sexy!" and "You can kiss my butt!" These are your only choices HOWEVER -- You get to decide where to place the emphasis in the sentence and how best to convey what Earl means when he talks to us. DON'T FORGET **** For the lip sync assignment, you'll need a hand held cosmetic mirror at your workstation in order to get reference from your very own face :-) Download Earl here. Have fun .... ________________________________________________________________________ PLANNING SHEET INFORMATION For your planning sheets, here's what I should have so far - Action Planning Sheets for: Charlie Chaplin Exercise ( in class) Walk Cycle Symetrical and Assymetrical Jumps ________________________________________________________________________ Clarifications for Project 3c Paths you need so you can find these files: Mocap Data: gfilesrv2\student_data\cse459_wi04\_Shared\Animatics\_Shared\mocap run "assign.exe" and open up any .c3d files in the dry run folders. Earls: gfilesrv2\student_data\cse459_wi04\_Shared\Animatics\_Shared\The_Set_With_Earls Animatics: gfilesrv2\student_data\cse459_wi04\_Shared\Animatics\_Shared\Rough_Shot_26 gfilesrv2\student_data\cse459_wi04\_Shared\Animatics\_Shared\Rough_Shot_56 gfilesrv2\student_data\cse459_wi04\_Shared\Animatics\_Shared\Rough_Shot_69 ******Shot Scene Planning Sheet -- rough in for Project 3c due in tomorrow for my review. Anytime during the day or night will do. Just slip it under my door in 332. For the Shot Scene Planning Sheet ( which is a bit more involved than the Action Planning sheet), include, text description for your shot, thumbnail drawings ( from acting yourself and your video reference), action breakdowns including line of action, motion paths and force lines, for difficult or unusual actions or as necessary. I've left a sample shot planning sheet on the window/door to my office in 332. This is just a sample -- yours doesn't need to be identical. If you plan to change anything from the animatics and Mo-cap reference you'll be provided, just indicate on the planning sheets what you are doing...and why. Remember, we're looking for great acting here. We want to develop the style for the movie as early as we can. The larger and more accurate the drawings are, the better the feedback .... You will need to use the shot descriptions as you get them, for direction, but you can change some actions and some timing to make your acting look better and communicate what you want.... It's important to try out many ideas before you start animating so videotape, draw, and act I yourself. Whatever works. It will save you enormous amounts of time and stress later...and result in a better looking shot... honest. I really want you all to spend time thinking carefully about what the characters are thinking, how they move based on their personality and the descriptions you came up with collectively on Tuesday in class. You WILL be animating all of the characters in your shot. You will not have to worry about intricate lighting or shading or anything else for Project 3c however.
