The Escape of the One‐Legged Monster - research

In my animation, A one-legged monster

is trying to escape form a cage while

the cage's door is open suddenly.

It starts its action after the security camera's focus is not on it.

so it starts to jump out from the cage.

I recorded some short videos for research.

(to get the posture in different moment

and the speed of the movement)

side:

(25fps)

side view in slow motion

back:

(I would like to show the movement in graphic)

I jogged the position of the joint down with frame numbers.

Now I know the change of speed in whole movement.

Also the position of the joint is known.

The monster jump away from the cage and found the exit.

And it think its can escape from the prison surely.

But the chain on its leg will pull it down

when it is very close to the exit.

fall down:

fall down in slow motion:

I use the same measure to study the fall-down motion.

(noted the frame and the position of the joints)

my body was somehow twisted in the falling,

so it is hard to show the twisting in a 2D picture.

I will use the video as a reference to make the body twisting

of the monster in my animation.

CG light - God light

soft, quiet and hopeful.


maybe this is the desktop when I finished busy work at the dawn.

I create 4 environment lights (spot light)

in order to made the scene in blue tune.

then I create a spot light which radiate form the window to the desktop.

And I also add a ramp effect on its colour.

so there is some white colour at the centre of the light.

And the edge of the light is orange in colour.

CG light - Hospital

hospital room provides a cold,

sick and silent feeling.

I use light cyan environment lights (spot light)

to create the mood in hospital.

And the light on top of the scene use a high intensity

spot light to increase the cyan colour and simulate the shadow

which cause by the light form the top of the room.

Using spot light provide the light from the lamp.

Also, this light causes the obvious shadows of all objects.

CG light - Dusk

a romantic dusk scene.

I try to create a romantic, relaxing mood.

First, I create 4 environment lights such as top, front, side,bottom.

Then I create a spot light for the light which spread from the table lamp.

And I create a light which is only for the background

(by using relationship editor)

in order to make it visible.
