TheGnomonWorkshop – From Previs to Final Animation

In this tutorial, Senior Animator Elaina Scott shares her workflow for creating a full-cg shot for Visual Effects, from previs to final animation. In the initial chapters she discusses shot language, lenses and how to create dynamic poses for superhero animation. She begins by taking an existing animation and sets up a very rough set and some lights, so that she can illustrate how quickly one can create a narrative using camera lenses, movement and lighting. She then starts the superhero portion of the tutorial using rigs by Truong CG Artist with characters made by Dan Eder and Péter Józsa.
