Maya - Camera Shake (Drive by)

I finally managed to resolve the red filter problem and the tutorial was quite simple.

Maya - Camera Coverage Maya Script (Car Crash)

This was a useful task to understand how to edit clips and put them together from the set up of cameras. It wasn't too hard, the only issue I had was trying to get the CamManager script to open because I typed it in wrong.

Maya - Walking mechanics

I found this task took some time to get my head around but at the second attempt felt more confident to go through more quickly. I really enjoyed this task as it is embracing more animation

Maya - Staircase Roll shot

Maya - Pitch shot

Maya - Dolly shot

Maya - Crane shot

Maya - Paper Clip Chain

I think this tutorial will be very useful for me because I am think of tail movement for the creature in my story as this would be the same structure of movement. This was easy to complete and hopefully will be useful when I produce my Previz.

Maya Rotating Bouncing Ball

Using the Bouncing Ball on the center pivot I had to add rotations and make the ball travel along a horizontal path. This was a little more complicated as the movements were not working until I edited the graph so was relieved when I finally got the animation to work.

Maya - Three Person Conversation

I have used some objects from a previous project to build a basic scene and imported a female and the two different male pre viz models. I also used Preimere Pro to put the sequence together going through the lesson 2 tutorial so that i know more about exporting a video file.

Maya - Panning Shot in Thirds

This was good task to get me thinking about the camera follow a character movement and very simple to do.

Maya - Pendulum

This was another keyframe animation task, to look at a swinging motion. I added a plane behind it so that the pendulum looks connected to a wall, this was good easy task.

Maya - Bouncing ball 2

This was another variation of the 101 bouncing ball so was bascially simple, after working out hangtime and where the ball needed to be at each stage of the timeline.

Maya - Two Person Conversation

I had examples to help with camera angles and cropping so this task was quite simple, it was just trying to get the next angle to match the previous one that took some time to perfect. The conversation was based on a typical accident scene and the extreme close up at the end adds to the intensity expected in that situation.

Maya - Bouncing Ball on center pivot

This task was to learn the 101 basics of animation of the bouncing ball, It took some time to work out what will happen in the keframes but very useful.
