Originally for the second part of my practical, I was going to test a different theory/subject that was - or going to be - discussed in my dissertation; for instance, anthropomorphic characters. However, when it came to writing about my first lot of test animations and the responses I had received, I realised that it might not have been the most reliable test. I decided that I wanted to do-over the test but this time try to eliminate or minimize test limitations, such as the inconsistency in animation method (traditional and digital). A lot of participants may have only chose the rotoscoped animation as it had cleaner lines and a cleaner, digital finish, when compared to the other two tests, rather than focusing on the performance, which is what I asked for.
This time, I'm going to focus more on expressing the emotion of the character, rather than purely trying to animate someone picking up a cup. I'm going to try to bear in mind what I have learnt so far whilst writing and researching for my dissertation, and really try to portray intent behind a character's actions. I have re-recorded some reference material of myself taking a drink whilst being focused on work, and it is this that I am going to try to capture in my three animation tests.
Reference Material One
Reference Material Two
Once I am finished, I am going to conduct another survey/questionnaire exactly like I did before, and from here I will be able to evaluate my results and compare them to my first test.
