This week I was able to finish shot 08, where amanda walks to Lisas’ table and sits, while Lisa says hello. With this shot I tried to reference animation from lisa on shot 07 but for some reason I did it wrong and it did not work so Lisa is really only posed, not animated. Next week I will try to solve this issue, also because I want to understand referencing a bit better, it is something that never goes right for me, I must study it in order to get better results.
On shot 07 I added facial expressions to Lisa, but this shot is not finished yet as the hand needs animating on the fingers and arm movement. This project has been left a bit on the side due to the indie project as I am doing a role that I knew nothing about and need to learn some things from scratch.

One of the things I changed on this shot was the camera movement, until now every shot had a still camera, but it is also important to have some movement or else every thing looks very monotonous and boring. Camera movement is aslo a subject I must improve in order to get better animations.
