This assignment made me realize just how difficult it is to get animation just the way you want it, especially when you include the eyes, hands, and lipsync. When you fix one thing, it seems like endless other issues pop up. Overall, I am really enjoying character animation. It takes a long time and is tedious, but nothing compares to making something come to life. Its very gratifying to see acting choices and body mechanics begin to work, when it was just a stiff model. I am definitely going to do my thesis in 3d. It is much easier to make changes and I think it will work better with the story i'm trying to tell. I still have a lot of work to do on this scene, but I should be able to get it to a decent state by the time it's due.
