Sequence 04 Scene 01/02 animating the serpent wrapped in wet clay, practicing serpent movements.
Having only myself to work with I found this test extremely complicated and difficult. Taking the frames on the D90 without istopmotion added to the general difficulty of the experiment. Animating the serpent was tedious and frustrating as I didn't have a clue on how to approach this scene, the added annoyance was the clay not completely remaining on the armature itself and when I would move the serpent it all slip off...
I tried dampen the surface so it would move smoother with its serpent constructed armature, however it failed, what I realised after the experiment was that I could of built a surface entirely of clay so it would engrave through, like sand and to get a better understanding on the movements of a serpent to watch Youtube videos on snake/serpent movements and the anatomy, like I studied for my human characters.
Another issue I would have to address is lighting with this scene as it came across as quite dark.
Also I would like to approach this scene again but with a more experimental mind for the camera angles to be ECU (Extreme Close-Ups).
