Advanced skeleton
This lesson continues to use blendshape to make facial expressions, so I want to try more methods about facial binding, so I tried the plug-in advanced skeleton
tutorial:
Method1:
Method 2:
We can use this method to track B when A is front B.
2D Tracking, Roto, Screen replace in Nuke
Roto: keylight
Dissolve node
Dissolve creates a weighted average of two inputs.
Multiply node: add it before merge node –the value can control the homepage and the original video
The effect of page scrolling: set keyframes of Transform node, add motionblur

In this lesson, we not only learned to unwrap the UV and corresponding textures for the model, but also expanded the use of blendshape to make different facial expressions

《Persepolis》 is a true story. It shows the Iranian society from the perspective of the protagonist through black and white animation, which is mixed with religious fanaticism, terrorism, political turmoil and lingering kinship. Personal growth experience also vividly reflects the changes in the political and social environment in Iran, enabling people to have a direct sensory understanding of the chaotic history of Iran.
Questions to consider:
• Could animated documentary potentially detract from the seriousness of the situation?
— No, I think the exaggeration of animation expression means exaggerates the seriousness of the situation to a greater extent.
• Could it prevent a direct engagement with the factual content of an animated documentary?
— No, because of the characteristics of documentary, it will be more objective and authentic
• Could this be positive?
— It can be positive, but I think it should be more neutral.
• There is a historical attitude that animation is for children and is not suited to grown up material? How far do you agree/disagree with this?
— I totally disagree with this view, because I think animation is just a form of expression, and more in-depth content suitable for adults can be expressed in this way.
• Could it lead to a more universal level of identification? Why do you think this might be?
— I think so, As Honess Roe points out ‘This use of animation demonstrates that envisioned information is easier to understand and retain, and that much factual information is communicated more efficiently via animation than the spoken word’
Q&A:
1.Consider what constitutes an animated documentary?
— On the basis of “fact core”, the creative subject carries out a subjective and creative reconstruction of history, reality, culture and psychology through audio-visual images.
2.What are the implications of using animation in a non-fiction context?
— Animated documentaries can not only reveal subjective, conscious experience via animation that is evocative rather that directly representational, but also encourage us to imagine from our own point of view and empathise with the unfamiliar experiences of other people.(Honess Roe)
What’s more, As Honess Roe points out ‘This use of animation demonstrates that envisioned information is easier to understand and retain, and that much factual information is communicated more efficiently via animation than the spoken word
3.What issues arise from the use of animation in documentary?
— As Honess Roe further points out however, animation, ‘presents problems for this documentary ontology and this means that animated documentaries do not fit easily into the received wisdom of what a documentary is’
In this lesson, we learned the method of topology through the quad draw tool of maya, but I can’t fully understand why this topology or the principle of topology, so I try to find answers on related websites, the following is my exploration process.
The final:
Why we need to retopology
“This is because complex meshes are difficult to animate. It is necessary to limit the polygon count of any 3D model when it’s used for animation.
By overlaying a low-polygon mesh onto a high-polygon mesh you can get something that’s perfect for animating and easy on your processor.”

Horness Roe. A. proposes that notions of realism is not only closely related to the authenticity of the documentary, but also deeply linked to the documentary images. In addition, the documentary images prove the real events through the exponential relationship between images and reality.

Experimental
Background:
Shuji Terayama decided to make a transparent film.He insisted on leaving his “heterochromatic” hobby for the time being, and gave up any rendering of intermediate colors. Instead, he used pure black and white to paint his lens. As a result, “A Woman With Two Heads” has become an alien of Mount Temple and a “non heterochromatic” film sketch. At the memorial exhibition of Mount Temple in a certain year, “A Woman With Two Heads” was shown as the representative work of Mount Temple. Some people said that they never knew that Mount Temple had ever made such a clean and transparent film.
Process:
In order to highlight the effect of the painted “shadow”, He removes the real shadow with strong light. What’s more, By breaking the classical concept of time and space, through a large number of temporal ambiguous cameras and voiceover means, Teriyama Shusi has made the past and the present, reality and memory, documentary and fiction, etc. into a synchronic existence.
Formal Elements:
The incredible combination of sound and image and the use of color in his films also made his films show a surrealist sense of picture in terms of composition, color and sound.
