 Alrighty there is sound let's play this in full first. What you got? Chicken and chips and peas. Chips. Yummy. You're not getting any but only allowed chips once a week. Oh come on three chips are a ballyful for me. All right then go on. What you got? All right you mentioned that this is character animation with lip sync with an animal so I got a couple comments also a couple questions and you can you can let me know how you want to proceed with this. So first of all it's a fairly long clip and as we go through what I love is that you have the character down here what you got and then go up there in terms of interest. Once you hear though I do like that you go up and down but right until the very ends go which is cute because he's excited he's fairly static and there's a lot of movement with kind of IK planted feet there pause. What if before I get into any type of critique I do want to throw out the idea of what if what you got like pushing certain elements maybe because my dog does this thing where if I'm eating let's pretend I'm taller and I have my my legs up like his his head is resting and he's also like why are you not giving me food his little nose and he's resting on my thigh here. What if we're pushing these elements where the the dog here is actually on the table it's probably not the best color here let me switch so imagine you got eyes here looking up darting down ears up but it's it's just resting on this then what you got chicken and chips and you can go up there it's just adding a slight tweak to the pose. It's not that you can rest on it for that long what you got chicken and chips and peas chips yummy or just listening to this throwing it out there just because I want to make sure that I'll give you all the thoughts and then you can decide how you want to proceed and if you want to you know however you want to do this what if it could also be funny subjectively obviously right if the head is on there imagine the dog talks it would just be resting the what's it called the chin the jaw here on the table and he would talk with that with the the chin on there but the little part of the jaw or the jaw and head just goes up saying all of this what you got chicken so he's interested what he got going up and down darting what you got chicken and chips and peas and once he hears this is chips chips that's when he goes chips that's the moment for him to go oh I like this I'm going to jump on top of this so you have a maybe potentially at least to me a little bit more of a an interesting way of doing a lip sync or just like a funny way of talking that energy is the thing that makes him go even though I do like this a lot I do like that he's down here and goes up there's nothing wrong with that just just throwing it out an idea yummy and then you can jump yummy you can do this you're not getting any and the only thing it's pretend we're keeping all of this then it goes into this thing of we're fairly locked within all of this despite liking what are you doing with the heights so this could be what if he goes oh he goes down but maybe takes a couple steps back so there's a bit more instead of this up and down there's also more left and right where he might take a couple steps back you know hunched over head down like oh but what about me oh come on and then oh come on that's when he takes maybe one step so come on he's inching closer again let me get closer three chips are a belly full for me and that would be that that that that that's when he's take takes a couple steps and then one bigger step and then he can end up here again all right then go on and then you can do that and instead of just the little tipsy things it could just be at the end where maybe you know his legs are more in a triangle and he has a like a big puppy head tilt tilting over legs together just all like oh like super cute that could be just a moment to push there what you got chicken for him watch out for the kid you got um turned on the volume bit here you got like a very floaty arm watch out your timing feels like there's a key and there's a key here so either keep playing around with this maybe you potentially uh more appealing pose in terms of how the character holds the fork you have to be careful that this feels more like um like all the fingers have been curled and that's it versus giving this a bit more of an angle through that so you have a bit of a curvature for a nicer fist but just generally speaking there's the stuff where like eyes he looks at the ears there's the eye lines a bit off those eyes move a bit slowly i will go more into darts this could be with a half blink or a full blink i think there's some technical things that we could address but i want to more talk about broader ideas so you can tell me where you want to go how far you want to move things because again the kid is mostly one spot i like this a lot but watch out then it feels like it's touching the dog and it's not really so whoops that's me moving the frame so be careful how how we have overlapping elements so if i bring back the sound a bit what you got chicken and chips so the thing is he is very excited about this right so it could be this is almost a bit too like it's mine already point the elbow out i mean where we could do this depending on you know like i'm i'm i was raised you know you know like arms on on um on the table you can eat like this but i wouldn't do an elbow out some kids like in the us a lot of kids or people eat with one arm on the underneath the table and just like that so you can have a bit of a lean in totally whatever you want to do i'm just wondering thinking out loud if we save this for later so you could do this the american style whatever even it's a different accent obviously in the english here but you eat like this and then when the dog comes up chicken and chips and peas that's when he will go a bit straighter because he's explaining the arm is still below the table chips yummy you're not getting it because whoa you're not getting this that's when he could start maybe just that's when he brings up the arm to do this and when he goes back down it's the opposite like that would actually just be at the beginning he would be in this pose here because it's almost like or maybe even that might be too on the nose and too big or like shielding the food but just that would be a bit more of an angle a bit more of an aggressive silhouette because of the you know the the threat of getting his food eaten away oh come on three chips are a bellyful for me oh and then when he goes all right then you can take the elbow out into a pose like this and maybe he leans away is like all right it's fine and then go on into this like i do like this a lot go on that's an interesting gesture but so generally i would say what are your thoughts on like those kind of changes of changing the poses and changing the leans was again if you if you go through and scrub he's fairly in that box yes he has some leans that's probably the biggest one which i like a lot and you can push that where we can play a bit with against the chair really against this with an elbow like no no these are these are this that's my food maybe without you playing with this including the dog going back and forth like i said um come on from a technical point of view again i have some other notes like if you look at the kid at this point that head just kind of drifts down the eyes are super swimmy we're cutting into the pupils a bit much like i said before that hand pose here more darts in the darts as in sharper moves they're called saccade so in case everyone pronounced it um saccades where you have like the eye line will be changing in a different way i would rotate the lids over so the eyelids are not the eyebrows in terms of the angry look so for me there's a lot more to change from a technical point of view but i don't feel like i want to get into this right now in case you are willing or you're exploring different you know bigger pose changes that will change the mechanics um yeah that's it hope that makes sense let me know
