Gimbal Lock & Rigging a Camera Rig
I followed the recordings in the class and set a camera.
At the first time I was doubt why we need to set a controller for camera, after overviewed and finished the whole process I found that it is more easier to set camera animation especially add focal length attribute on that controller. In my previous work I used to change focal length on the process of sequences combination, but it is better to key that on animation process. I’ll be using this camera a lot in my future work.

PERORMANCE ANIMATION
I firstly re-performance Bob Odenkirk’s fantastic fragment. And I think in this slide my body language must send out a strong sense of confidence and unbelievable feelings. So I try to sit straight and look down the audience, then leaning forward several times to show my mastery and oppression of the conversation.
According to my own video, I have so little movement in my hands. As we know body language of the hands is also a very common communication technique. So back to Maya I need to add more animation on hands.
This is the final version, all looks good. And I specially used top light you can see the figures have distinctive shadows on his face to used to simulate an interrogation room headlamp. This deepens the character and aids his performance.
