Alissar walks through a complete process for animating a two-character shot in Maya, from start to finish, exploring how to film authentic, natural references, pose the characters with appeal through 2D drawing techniques, and push and exaggerate the blocking to create contrast and clarity between the characters so the audience always knows where to look.
Alissar then moves on to spline the body, eyes, and lip sync, discussing what makes for natural spacing and clean arcs, what makes the eyes feel alive, and how to approach graphic and specific-to-the-moment lip sync. In the final lesson, Alissar shares an 8-step polish process to achieve feature-film quality!
