EDW Ind Study: Week 06

New project starting up utilizing Motion Capture and Motion Builder. The message is simple: get kids to eat breakfast. Utilizing four maya models (cereal, milk, bowl, and spoon) I intend to capture a march very similar to "Let's all go to the Lobby" followed by a live actor smiling down at the objects as they cross through the video of a counter top. The idea is to have them dance when the reach the actor in a very Hip-Hop style. Music choices are still somewhat up in the air but the two inspirations for this are "Let's all go to the Lobby" and an old breakfast time commercial from Nickolodeon in which a spoon, knife, and fork do a rap about different breakfast ideas. I have concluded that my models will be fairly simple pieces of separate geometry rigged with rigid bodies and proper naming conventions for Motion Builder. I'll be contacting Halbstein this week for meeting to learn the Motion Capture system. This commercial should be approximately 30-45 seconds long and be followed by a 2D text over the newly blurred scene reading "Eating breakfast can help you get up and move!"
