-Final Animatic-
Keep Concept 1's final smashed in the head by a fish and Concept 3's feeding the fly up to the fish to eat the bait. Replace the first half with luring fish to eat the bait.
-Motion Capture-
When it comes to Motion Capture, we decided to change the opening from “luring the fish to eat” to “being scared by the fish running around”. This is more reflective of the character's personality.
To protect the privacy of the motion-capture actors, this part of the video will not be played
-Maya Animation Version 01-
The first version retained most of the performance during motion capture. But because it's longer than 20 seconds, part of the action will be removed in the next version.
-Maya Animation Version 05-
This step is already a finished pre-animation, next we handed over to motion modification team. I'll follow up on every version of their adjustment and revisions, and meets every three working days to make sure it ends up the way I expect it to.
Handed over to Post-production team for the rest of the production
Thanks For Watching :)
