Finalising Ideas
Using the the critical review to finalize my idea, I looked back at the ideas generation page and instead of doing a dance I have decided to do some sort of mime, relating to kids due to the walk cycle that I have used, and using baby humour and at the same time adding adult stances in which adults can relate to humour.
I have simplified the composition to a much easier one, as this is what I can achieve with my ability with the amount of time I have left.

Production
For the production of this pantomime, I first needed the following programs:
- Adobe Premier CS6
- Maya 2015
- Adobe After Effects CS6
- Adobe Flash CS6
I first converted my video reference in an .flv file in which I imported into Adobe flash as a graphic, in order to see the key frames. This method should help me improve my walk cycle
After doing the walk cycle I looked at different child related movements and I found one which was the ''peak-a-boo!'' I have used this as the final movement in the pantomime, I then decided to record an audio piece that will have me say ''Peek-a-boo!''.
Moreover after animating the rig I then decided to add a polygon green screen behind it so that onced I rendered it I can add a loop of abstract video. After adding the green screen I then rendered the pantomime using just the perspective view. I rendered with the resolution 1280x720 pixels.
After rendering I imported every images into Adobe Premier and exported it as an .mp4 after doing so I edited it by using After effects, then once again imported it to premier to add the sounds and my voice note. After doing so I have rendered the final outcome.
Evaluation
Looking at the final outcome of my pantomime, I am satisfied on certain aspects of the animation, although there can be a lot of improvements that can be made. One of this is that I could have added more camera angles, in order to give the scene a bit more excitement. Also, I will need to work on walk cycles as at certain points the rig is somehow floating across the floor. In order to do this I will have to do a lot more animating in order to gain ''the eye''. furthermore I will need to learn how to block out keyframes effectively. But in order to do this I will need to find the key main points in the references. In addition, the timing was also a bit off therefore made the video a bit jagged.
