Polish pass of the animation test!
Animation review: (ft. Chrissy)
- focus on making the actions more subtle, get rid of any jaggedness or fast frames.
- mouth shapes aren't all hitting on the right time, polish out the timing more. and make sure to hold the holds in the right place!!
- eye darts need to be more darty. Too much floating around.
Rig review:
- eyebrow deformations are pretty hard to work with, may need to adjust some blend shapes.
- Too many controls for the jaw. Use as few as possible in initial blocking phase. (just try to stick to 1 control if possible.)
MODELING -- Yeji
Yeji blocked out the models for 2 environments, the bedroom and the school Ext.

- she suggested adding more pictures of her with memories of Korea, to show that she still misses her home country and has them as keepsakes.

- The school building will just be blocked out roughly, We won't be putting too much importance on the details on the outside because it will just be in the background for the most part.
ALIEN FOOD
from our feedback we had the suggestion of making the food that Min's mom gives her more alien in the beginning, transitioning to the Korean food dish near the end of the film. On the right side of some example Yeji thought of incorporating.

As for the actual School Lunch that Min's mom packs, it will be a common picnic/ lunch dish called Kimbap.

Yeji did some look dev on a possible lunch bag design, we received some feedback that it perhaps looks too fancy, So can either use 'cheaper' material like cotton for a cotton bag, or show some more wear and tear on the current one.
GROOM FIRST LOOK


It took a lot of trial and error, but I(Yejin) seem to have figured out a workflow that personally works best/ is more efficient for hair groom.
The top image is before sculpting-- with guide, clump, density masks and modifiers.
The below image is after sculpt on top of those nodes.
TEXTURE TEST?
thought about having the ‘alien’ as a silhouette with a noise texture.
Ambiguous, difficult to follow with the naked eye
Distortion/ glitchy effect
the idea is to make the mom but with a different texture.
This definitely needs further experimentation and lookdev
ANIMATIC

Looking for the right mood/ feeling with sound.
