Animated WIP #2 (Patreon)

Another WIP for the monthly voted quarry animation. Got alot I'm doing with this one so I hope I can get it to look pretty good. I'm working a bit differently where I'm getting the movement outlines down and then plan to go back and add some extra onto it. See how it works.\

Animation is currently 1 min long

*Tech Notes*

Not sure what format to use here so I'll just mention what comes to mind that I didn't mention last WIP.

LIGHTING

The lighting on this one and all other recent stuff I'm working on I've been trying differently. I've been using many different lights for a scene. I think this one has about 9 to 14 lights. I've been recently in my last few animations adding lights right up close to the model's faces. I like how it gives a sort of unique lighting at times.

EXPRESSIONS + CAMERA

I figured why not go more aggressive on the faces. I might go back to tune them some more but I like the expression I was able to give Emma here atleast. I haven't done really any camera work just yet but as you try to improve, you really understand how many small things go into a masterful animation that you may have never even bothered touching before.

INCOMPLETE SPOTS

Like mentioned above, I plan to go back over and refine things. The movement on stuff like the balls is quite barebones and I personally don't think I would leave that how it is now. Also, there is some clipping here and there and stuff that just needs fixing so don't worry about how that looks for now. I hate to bother explaining that but with the way I'm deciding to work this time around I feel the need to explain why some stuff that I left looking bad looks that way.
