Brian

- see notes at bottom

Elizabeth

Age 400
- Clean up hand poses, watch the unnatural finger positions
- Bottle should rotate earlier, bottle should also react when grabbed (hold grab longer)
- Hand and elbow angles... work with what you have
- Can the cupboard door be opened further?

Age 800
- Even bigger breath or moment of relief?  The head turn feels too fast/big
- Posture change to reflect feeling better



Happy

Age 1000
- Hand should not overlap the cup
- Placement of cup?  Keep in mind that we can also move the image on the quilt
- Take a look at the final hand pose

Death 2000
- Watch out for bad tangents!
- More follow through on the fingertips when the hands fall

I 1400 - no update



Daren

Magic 100
- Very cool, the fade in is nice (though Jason has a good point about the stitches)
- The clouds move a little to fast at times, could still change while moving

Unfinished 900
- She shouldn’t have an emotional change yet (the yurt is warmer, but her heart is still cold... or something)
- Add some shoulder movement

U 400, D 2100, M 200 - no update



Jimmy

Intro 400
- Needs more in-betweens
- Weight shift should be seen throughout the whole body (Mei)
- What is Mei thinking?  Let this motivate her movement (and dictates when she smiles, and at what)
- One smile could be a response to the other (oyon then mei or reverse)

Unfinished 1600
- More arc
- Could the scissors contact/push the string a little?
- Maybe include the fingers holding the scissors as well

Unfinished 1800
- Maybe the camera angle should be shifted
- Pull up on the thread with the scissors, then cut

I 300, D 1800 - no update



Ryan

Intro 200
- Hold off on this shot for now
- Look to communicate Mei’s intention – why does she hesitate or need help?  What comfort does her mother’s hand bring?
- Animate Mei’s hand first, then move Oyon’s hand as a reaction to Mei’s
- What are they sewing on?  Possibly the cloth figures that move in intro_500-900

Death 900
- Good initial smile, very warm
- The mouth could open more to show surprise or pain
- Maybe too much going on, focus on just the face and her reaction to the pain

Death 600
Camera angle?

Marianne

Coping 300
- Watch out for the door step (or cheat it out of the shot…)
- Hold bottle up a little higher, but don’t lose the strong silhouette in the doorway
- Don’t let the bottle fall straight down
- Oyon’s thumb is crazy lookin’

Magic 500
- get more body and hips into wave, have her lean into it, lean the body into it
- steps are a little heavy, body crouched a bit
- legs should have more of a swing? have leg swing forward a bit before it lands

Magic 600
- forward movement feels a bit halting, body usually runs more straight forward, no stop and start
- little bit of popping in back arm
- add a little bit of head motion, subtle
- talk to Jason about the neck

COPING SEQUENCE:

Coping 700
- see bird notes

Coping 800
- take mountain away
- too few key poses
- when Mei goes back to inhale, don't pick up her chin/bring shoulders back
- determine the scale of the bird
- have bird smaller in the background so it doesn't distract from Mei
- delete temporary bird, get bird animation with motion paths in there

Coping 900
- maybe have Mei touch pyre with her hand
- add Oyon and Mei cut outs at the end
- have cut out placed like in Death 600
- keep tears factored into length of hand motion
- have some parallax of the background at the beginning and none at the end as it transitions to RW
