The main question now is “How will the audience know the characters are going to have a dance off?” The answer. Through title cards! Similar to the ones in silent movies. Title cards or Intertitles are printed dialogue or narration that is shown between...
Old Scene Link – https://vimeo.com/167046138 New Scene Link – https://vimeo.com/167539282 The old dance scene had a few problems such as the zombie on the left was walking into the sofa the lighting in the room was not enough when the characters started to...
These are my latest drafts. There is still more to do but none-the-less I am nearly there. I still have to add in the ‘DANCE OFF’ caption in between the stare off and the dancing. I also changed the storyboard a bit. Originally the humans were going to...
I did some research on poses for group photos. This was so I knew how to arrange my characters in the final dance scene. I found an article that had group poses which I could use in my video. I also looked at Micheal Jacksons thriller dance routine and found out that...
Originally for the dance-off scenes, the zombies and humans were going to stand in a line and dance. I figured that would get boring so I researched dance-offs and found these videos. RUNDMCVEVO (2009) RUN-DMC, Jason Nevins – it’s like that. Available at:...
Added a light source directly under the zombies face, this was so I could achieve a scary effect due to all the shadow on the zombie’s face. Similar to the hungry zombie video. This scene looked dark compared to the others. I think this was due to one of the...

On May 5th, I recorded some motion capture with my dancer, Lauryn. She acted out playing ping pong on both the right and left side. This was so I could add the motion capture from the right side onto the model that would be standing on the right and so on. I...
Like I previously said, I started with the dance-off scenes first. After successfully merging my character into Motion Builder, I had a problem where I couldn’t move her position. That was due to her not being control-rigged. To do this I characterized her and...
The images below show my final storyboard. All I have to do now is make a draft. I think I’ll begin with the dance-off scenes because I already have the animation for that. Get the easy stuff out of the way so I can focus on the more challenging things. Such as...
I am looking at artists who have used similar techniques that I intend on using in my project. Such as Camera angles Lighting Composition Sound effects ISARTDIGITAL (2014) HUNGRY ZOMBIE (2014). Available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfB1KTBRHRc (Accessed: 5 May...
Here are some ideas I’ve had regarding how I want the story of my animation to go. I like Idea 4 because that seems like the most interesting story and I think it will be fun to make. If idea 4 doesn’t work idea 1 is my...
Project 2 – 3D Animation Project: Zombies For this assessment, you will create a short interactive animation using Motionbuilder. Your animation will begin with at least 3 different characters in a room. You may have more than 3, but must have at least a male...
