Using crane and Dolly in Maya

-

In the first video I was using an artificial Dolly to move the camera from one place to another. Dollys are often used in film making to provide a platform for the camera to be mounted on as well as having a track so the camera can move between several positions at a fast speed without it shaking in the process. Crane shots as shown in the second picture are performed in a similar way except the camera is mounted on the end of a crane that is also on a mounted platform, these don't always have tracks but they allow fro the camera to reach a high perspective without shaking the camera in the process.

In terms of styles they range from making a character very realistic to being more cartoony which was demonstrated in the first exercise. At random we where given characters that we had to take from one end of the spectrum to the other. I was given danger mouse that was very cartoony so I had to make him more realistic. The main differences from the two styles is that the realistic approach involves making the head smaller, using more complex shapes and realistic body proportions. The second exercise revolved more around shapes. Characters with square shapes lo
