BB practical tutorial — High School Roleplay Scene (with @Ethobot)

Hello there my name is Ito and welcome to another blockbuster tutorial in today’s video we will be showing how to record a cinematic roleplay using blockbuster the scene we will be recreating is to students bumping into each other in a hallway with that out of the way let us begin

We’ll start off by recording the first students movements just a simple walk cycle will do maybe a pause here then at a specific point will fall backward to add movement to when the two actors collide into each other next we’ll record the second student remember the exact point in time where you bumped

Into the first and when the time comes recreate the same action The next step is animating the actors I used for both recordings our sequencer morphs so we can animate them in the menu we’ll set the duration of the first recording to time at the point of collision and the second morph will be the student falling down which we can

Animate in the pose editor I sometimes like the cheat and use a preset pose The process can take some time so don’t be afraid to tinker with the duration and animation time if anything I’d recommend messing with it sometimes you can get something even better than you expected you can also add effects like eye blinking or movement using the iRig

I’m going to have the first student shut her eyes when she falls down so it looks more lively Hmm maybe I’ll shave off half a tick Perfect now we’ll just do the same thing for the male student I think I’ll do something a little bit different with him too I’m going to position his body slightly backwards and use his arms to keep him upright Hmmm alright that looks pretty good oh dear in order to fix this we just need to lower the duration of the sitting actor and animate him getting up we’ll use two actors for this a sneaking pose and a standing pose and if you want to add something extra

Let’s close the students eyes during the sneaking face so it looks like he’s struggling to get up Now all we got to do is do the same thing for the female student something I recommend tinkering with is the duration of the animation each model in the sequencer has its own duration it’s right under the ignored tab which tells the animation how fast or slow you

Wanted to play it can really impact your final product Looks good I think for an extra effect we’ll animate the eyes so that it gives the actors a surprised look I’ll just resize the pupil so that they look smaller and move them forward so you can see them And there you have it a fully animated scene for any high school role plays I hope you learn something new in today it’s video as always if you have any questions leave a comment down below or join the courses discord which is linked in the description otherwise thanks for watching and good bye
