Hi all, I’m doing research into the animation of pupils for a degree in design for interactive media, and what I need is feedback from character animators, with a good working knowledge of animation, idealy with a few years experience.
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.
1/ Your name:
2/ Company you work for:
3/ Your job title:
4/ What type of animation do you work with?
5/ What percentage (estimate) of time spent animating a character is spent on expressions? (facial and body)
6/ Do you think expressive pupils would enhance the experience of the viewer?
7/ Under what circumstances do you feel expressive pupils could be used? (type of animation, close up, etc)
8/ What restrictions can you see there being for adding this extra detail of expressive pupils?
9/ How did you learn to animate? (books, training, college, etc, please list some titles)
10/ Would a, ïpupil animation guide be useful for you, or other animators whom you work with?
Thank you for your time, and valuable knowledge.
