Hanging_02

I have done a test, here, the rope moves around where the match move hasn't worked that well. The darkness of moom doesn't fit in well with its surroundings either. I will need to animate moom so he stays in position.

Ive then tried to animate moom so he doesnt move around as much. Ive also changed his colour to try make him blend in better with his environment. With this shot im going to have a look at the lighting again as it should come more round the front of him. The animation i will try to make more enthusiastic when he waves his arms, and i need to move his fingers.

Pirates hang 1

Here is a first test of moom. Ive animated him, but some of the animation is still a bit ropey. The rope seems to move position, the lighting isnt too bad but i thinks that mooms matt colour finish doesnt blend him in very well with the surroundings.

Story Boarding 2

I had to change my story board as i was unable to match move some of the shots i wanted to use, but i did manage to match move other shots i perhaps wasn't going to use. I plan to take out the first shot as it would give me continuity problems as i cant match move it to put moom sitting on the sail. I will then put moom sitting on the mast, then when jack falls down, he will fall off into the water. We will see a tied up moom on the boat on the facing shot.
Moom will either try climbing back on the boat or drown trying. We then see a moom hanging as original plan.
Jack waves off.

Rubbish Tracking points

These shots i found i couldn't match move very well, as i was trying to do them so i could put moom in the boat with him, but I found that because there isn't many tracking points i couldn't connect the tracking points to them. This would probably take better software to make it happen.

Moom

Moom is the character i have decided on using.

In the third shot we see moom diving off into the water, he will be coloured different so we can tell its a different moom then the one hanging up later on.

We then see moom hanging, and in the first shot he is struggeling with his rope. Then when captian jack and moom notis each other, Moom is trying to call for jack to help him, However jack just give him a sign of respect and moom gets upset and give him the finger. Jack then waves him off.

I did think about repeating the shots and i thought tht it wouldnt work because of continuity problems. So decided not too.

Match-Moving_Difficulties

This shot was not as hard as i thought it could be, when i added moom into the scene he did the same movement as the boat which was what i hoped for. However in the second shot the boat is at a slightly different angle, and so there was less places to put my track points on, therefore it didnt solve as much as i hoped, so i will still need to tidy it up a bit.

Match-Moving

I have tried to Match move my shots to get the camera to move in the same way when i animate moom into it.

I have had little problems working with maya live, ut i found it hard to match move some of the shots where it is hand held, on a boat, watching another boat move differently also, so it had been difficult to match move those shots.

I have therefore had to re-think my story board in the way of what i am going to have to do instead.

Story Boarding

Here is a quick sketch of the shots thst are in the clip i have used.

In the background i am going to do buildings that are futuristic, and very controversial to the film.

Pirates of the carribean

Brief:

The project brief for this project was to take any action film we wanted, and choose a 30-second to a minute section to it and incorporate some kind of 3D element to it.

I will try to create a small sequence that mixes live action with maya derived animation, props and buildings.

The Film sequence I have decided on is The Pirates of the carribean, curse of the black pearl. Chapter 3 where we see Jack for the very first time and he sails in on a sinking ship.

I plan to add in two characters, both using the rig of moom. The first will be within the boat with jack either helping to bail out jack or to bail in the water, then he will copy jack when paying respect to the dead pirates.

In the backgrounds I will try to composite either a big ship or big buildings and skyscrapers into the background.

For this I will be using Maya and To composite I will use after effects, I only know the basics so I will be able to get to know the package a bit more.

I have decided to use an already rigged character (moom), so I can concentrate on just the animation.
