Static poses on a stage | | - | | Basic concepts |
| | Introduction to modelling an actor on a stage | | 2 objects |
| | stage dimensions and audience viewpoint | | dimensions in mm |
| | 2D sideways pose on the stage | | simplified by ignoring sideways angles and twists |
| | 2D frontal pose on the stage | | simplified by ignoring forward angles and twists |
| | both 2D poses on the stage, side by side | | simplified by ignoring sideways angles and twists |
| | Stage dimension parameters | | allows experimenting with different stage and audience dimensions |
| | body size parameters | | allows experimenting with different body sizes |
| | body pose parameters | | allows experimenting with different poses |
| | Review and summary | | |
| | | | |
simple mechanisms for holding poses | | | | the link from bones, joints, muscles, and neurons to information processing |
| | Introduction to posing on a stage | | a simple model of how it works |
| | joint in 'normal' position | | 0 degree rotation |
| | joint in 'rotated' position | | 30 degrees of rotation |
| | Review and summary | | |
| | | | |
demonstrating action with simple joint movements | | | | a simple motion caused by rotating about a joint |
| | Introduction to basic action elements | | action as a limb movement resulting from a joint rotation |
| | sideways pose on the stage | | right leg motion - use Chrome, Safari, Opera, IE with Adobe SVGViewer, new FireFox |
| | frontal pose on the stage | | non-uniform upper-arm motion, using multiple time segments |
| | parts of a stride | | demo right leg motion, from one angle to another |
| | Review and summary | | synchronous and asynchronous action |
| | | | |
Action: continuous joint movements between poses | | | | a simple motion like a stride for walking |
| | Introduction to action on a stage | | action as an animated transitions between two poses |
| | SMIL based, between-pose movement parameters | | allows experimenting with simple motion |
| | 2D sideways action on the stage | | simplified by ignoring sideways angles and twists |
| | 2D sideways action - Perl test | | incremental - for scripts |
| | action perspective - test | | incremental - for scripts |
| | pl action perspective - Perl test | | incremental - for scripts |
| | 2D frontal action on the stage | | simplified by ignoring forward angles and twists |
| | Review and summary | | |
| | | | |
Using symmetry and repetition to extend the action | | | | a simple motion like walking |
| | Introduction to bilaterally symetric and repeated action | | skilled action as composed of repeated and symmetric action |
| | sideways: walking as symmetric action | | simplified by assuming that the left and right strides are identical |
| | frontal: flapping arms as asynchronous symmetric action | | simplified by assuming that the left and right arm-flaps are identical |
