Part1 Mocap Animation
Animation 6 — Standing Up
Mocap
From the experience of the last time, as long as the animation is sitting, there will be a lot of dressing and adjustment. First of all, I adjusted the position of my arms so that they didn’t collide with each other.
The second is the position of the feet and arms to the floor. After putting them in the scene, they obviously cross the floor, so I deleted some key frames to adjust the position. However, there are some problems: the animation is a little long, and there are some problems in the adjustment process.

Animation 7 — Shoved Reaction With Spin
Mocap
I didn’t make a lot of adjustments to this animation, because I’m quite satisfied with it, that is, I added the blink animation. The main studio adjusted the lighting effect, because the scene is the top light, and the character’s hair is white, and there are not many details. In order not to expose the top of the head, I added some surface light to illuminate the whole character.

Animation 8 — Threatening
Mocap
In this animation, I adjusted the position of the crotch to make him feel like he was leaning on one thing, with the center of gravity on one leg.

Animation 9 — Piano Playing
Mocap
In the mocap animation, the two hands crossed, so I adjusted the distance between the two arms. Then I let his hands touch the piano, matching the props of the piano and stool. Because there’s a little bit of warming up for the piano and a little bit of yellow for the character.

Part2 Keying Animation
Animation — Spray Perfume
This is what I did right. The last animation is not as good as the previous ones, because I’m in a hurry and tired. I mainly adjusted the movements of my fingers. In my opinion, timing is more difficult to control in this animation, because in this animation, the head of the character should follow the action of the hand, while the animation of the hand has pause. I need to master every pause to make the picture look less chaotic.
I made him close his eyes and lift his head in the process of smelling, which showed that he was very intoxicated and enjoyed.

Part3 Conclusion
I think after the 16 animations, I know more about putting actions into the scene and the interaction of some props. I’m familiar with key animation again, because I didn’t do animation for a long time after I finished animation last semester. After these hours of practice, I obviously feel that my efficiency has become higher and the speed has become faster.
Now when I do animation, I will also pay attention to some of the two animation principles that I seldom touched before, such as time and stage. Because these are complete rendering animations with lights and backgrounds. Different from the previous animations, I need to make the actions of these characters look comfortable and natural in the scene. Although I don’t think these animations have been done very well in a short time, it does train my ability to do animations in a short time. I believe practice makes perfect. After continuous practice of such short animation, my feeling of animation will be more and more accurate.
