Blink Study #1
After reading this lucid and, er.. eye-opening (there, I said it) post on blinks over at Kevin Koch’s synchrolux.com, I decided to try animating blinks, as a study. Here’s the first one, it’s just a generic blink with one eye, but in extreme close-up.
As before, comments & crits are welcome!
An excellent study. I have Dick Williams’ blink breakdowns somewhere in his notes. If I can find them somewhere, I’ll post them this week.
Nice blog, by the way. Keep up the good work.
Michael,
Thanks for stopping by, and for your kind comments! I’d love to see what Dick Williams has to say on blinks. Will keep an eye out for it on your splog!
Nice test! One thing you may want to consider is anticipating the blink by very slighly raising the eyelid before coming down. Also try keeping the lid closed for one more frame. One last thing to try is showing a bit of the pupil on the first frame when it starts to open.
