Schedule

This is a burndown chart that i created. it shows that for the next 4 weeks I will be putting in a lot of hard work. I plan on researching 3d animation in games, I will look at Sophie Taubers puppets and i will create my own Dada styled puppet that i was inspired by when looking up Tauber's work.

 As you can can see from the chart above the blue line represents the ideal this means when i would like to get the work done by. The red line represents the reality this means when the work has to be done by. As you can also see from the chart there isn't any big gap until week 3. week 3 is when i should be making my animations, There is a big gap here because i'm not really that used to blender so i think i will need more time when making my animations.

Legal and Ethical Checklist

For the legal and ethical. I have created all the puppets on my own using the software bender. If this these were  real animations and I was to take someone else's assets, I would have to mention that I took them otherwise that person could sue me. If my animations were to feature an asset where an event happened for example an attack I would have to remove that asset from my environment. Another case for legal and ethical would be if my animations featured any nudity or explicit content I would have to make it an 18 rated animation because that is against discrimination.

Presentation

Production

When rendering my animations I rendered them through the CUDA GpU setting, I chose to do this setting because my GPU is more updated while my CPU is out of date by a couple of years. When rendering the animations I rendered them as AVI JPEG.

Storyboard

This is a breakdown of my walking cycle that i plan on making with my puppet. I think this will be an easy animation

This is a breakdown of my running cycle that i plan on making with my puppet. I think this will be an easy animation. It will be my walking cycle only faster

This is a breakdown of my spinning cycle that i plan on making with my puppet. I think this will be an difficult animation to make because i have to make my puppet rotate

This is a breakdown of my Dancing cycle that i plan on making with my puppet. I think this could be a difficult animation because I have to make the puppet do different moves than just walking.

To conclude this task I believe I have made the storyboards for my animations to the best of my ability. I used the basic shapes that are used in powerpoint to create the puppets I will be creating. When making another story board I will try and use a different and more difficult software like powerpoint. 

Puppet Rig

When rigging my puppet I first added an armature at the head and then started to extrude the bones. To pair the puppet to the bones I clicked on the mesh and then the bones and then paired them together so that when I select a bone and rotate the bone, it looks like my puppet is moving.

Puppet Build

The puppet that I have made is made out of 5 cones,5 cylinders and 1 sphere. When creating my puppet I took reference from one of Taubers Dada puppets.
