The final part of my testing involved animating picking up the mug, but allowing myself to refer to my reference material. Once I had finished scanning and putting together the frames for this test, I was able to make a separate video that featured all three tests; a video I am going to show my peers/practitioners for feedback.
With Reference Material - Line Test
Testing the Effects of Reference Material
Now that I've been able to see my animation tests side by side, I personally prefer the attempt with the use of reference. I prefer animating traditionally over digitally, as I feel I have much more control over my line making, and I think this shows the most in my 'with reference' test.
Not only am I happy with the line work, but I personally think the performance is the best in this test. Yes, the rotoscoped attempt is very smooth, but I like that the foreshortening is emphasised in my final attempt. Though it is not as much as the 'without reference' test, it has just enough to still keep the level of realism I was striving for, but not so much so that it is too 'uniform', such as with the rotoscope.
