My Temporarily Final iAnimate Shot

Rendering across multiple shots is a bitch. I found that the best option is to light each shot individually as opposed to trying to light the world of your shot. Even then it creates continuity problems. So I decided to post the shot in it's playblasted form as I chug through the rendering process.

There she is.

I'm proud of it as it's by far my longest animation, and I think I gave it some semblance of quality as well.
My main concern in this sequence, as well as all of my shots is that I feel they lack life. To me, my work moves. While I want it to live. 

The difference to me is all in the performance choices and acting. You need to have your character move for a reason, not just because it will look cool. Here are just a few examples of student work and otherwise that inspire me to create real performances, to create life.
