I spent a lot of time trying to make the last failed morph not so bad. But it didn’t work out, I just made him look smoother.
After making adjustments, he moved slightly more fluidly.
I added more lights and rendered it a little better visually.

Black Auto Mechanic Carter Chambers (Morgan Freeman) loves life and is very knowledgeable. A terrible illness forced him to leave his job and family and move into the hospital for experimental treatment. Billionaire Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson), the CEO of a healthcare organization, has always adhered to the “one room, two beds, no exceptions” business philosophy, and he has to share a room with others after learning that he is seriously ill. Two strange patients who had otherwise been unrelated lived together. Although their status is very different, the two have one thing in common, that is, time is short. Carter was not rich, but he had a wife and family that loved him dearly. Although Edward was rich and often accompanied by beautiful women, he lacked the love of his family. Carter recorded on paper the unfulfilled wishes of his life. Edward, who inadvertently learns of the situation, decides to help Carter achieve his wish.
45 years have passed in a flash, and now we only have one year of life left, why not go crazy once? After figuring it out, Carter decided to listen to Edward, and the two began their plans. The two played skydiving, played sports cars on professional tracks, and went to Hong Kong for lunch. Sing along the African savannah and admire the animals around you. They also discussed how to bury after death. Next, they sped up motorcycles on the Great Wall. Arriving in the Himalayas, but catching a snowstorm, the two old men had to give up the idea of climbing to the summit.
In the face of women’s seduction, Carter finally understands that his favorite is still his wife, and he can’t wait to go home. So they went back to the United States, and at home, Carter and his wife found the feeling of their first love. Relationships become warm and touching. But carter’s body was once again in crisis.
He was taken to the hospital, and the operation did not save his life. Edward followed Carter’s advice, and he took the initiative to find his daughter and reconcile with her. At Carter’s funeral, Edward said he had saved me and that we had both brought joy to each other. At the end of the film, the ashes of the two are placed separately in a coffee can that once made them laugh to tears, and placed at the top of mount Everest in the snow.
After a skydiving accident, the white billionaire Philippe (François Cluzet) is paralyzed in bed, and Philip plans to pick a life assistant to take care of his daily routine, help him eat, bathe and drive for him. However, the super high salary still makes the applicants endless, but it cannot impress his heart. It wasn’t until the appearance of the black Priests (Omar Sy) that he made his decision.
Dress had just come out of prison, burdened with his family, and was obsessed with finding a dismissal letter to claim relief to support his large family living on the outskirts of Paris. During the interview, Drees acted casually, casually teasing Philip’s physical condition and offering great courtesy to his female assistant. But Philip not only did not get angry about it, but also hired Drees.
So Desis began a one-month trial period. Drees’s casual, free lifestyle is incompatible with the restrained atmosphere in this mansion, he brings a new vitality of life into Philip’s life, he takes him to massage, to drag racing, to do all kinds of crazy, bold things, and Philip’s attitude to life gradually changes the aspiring Driss At first, the two’s way of thinking and values are very different, Philippe wants to go to the exhibition, Driss does not want him to travel in a wheelchair and stay in the trunk of the car, So I drove Philippe’s supercar. As the understanding continued to deepen, they became friends.
Philippe has a penpal, but he thinks that he is a disabled person, has not dared to face others, only dare to keep in touch with letters, Driss concealed Philippe to ask his penpal out, the two talked happily after meeting, Driss hid aside to hide his merits and names, the movie ended.
The two films have a lot in common, black and white, poor and rich, and both revolve around the collision of different classes. In these two films, life and death, health and disability, poverty and wealth are objective contradictions, and under this contradiction, the friendship between people depicted in the depiction, and the protagonists’ short and happy attitudes in life, but let the audience feel warm and calm, which is a respect for life and life.
If there aren’t enough characters in the story, some of them need to serve double duty.
Regard them as jobs or positions rather than stereotypes.
Eggsy’s father died heroically in 1997 when he failed to find the grenade hidden by the leader due to the mistake of his companions. His mother committed to a violent gang boss Dean, and gave birth to a daughter. Fearing that Dean would be bad for his mother and sister, Eggsy gave up the opportunity to become a Marine Corps sniper and compete in Olympic gymnastics, and has since become a bad boy.
When Eggsy was about to be heavily prosecuted for stealing a car, Harry rescued him and led Eggsy to the Royal Gentlemen’s Headquarters to participate in the selection of the new “Lancelot”.
Eggsy received strict instruction and experienced many hard tests, and his martial arts and wisdom have improved greatly. With wisdom and perseverance, he lasted to the final round and became the last three candidates. In a life-and-death loyalty test, he and another female candidate, Roxanne, successfully advanced to the final campaign and brushed off rival Charlie Hirsch. But at the final selection, Eggsy’s reluctance to shoot her dog, JB, was eliminated, making Roxanne the new Lancelot.
Eggsy, who failed in the selection, stole a car and returned to his mother’s house. After seeing his mother’s injuries from domestic violence, he originally wanted to settle the account with Dean, but Harry remotely controlled the car to take Eggsy to his home in time, explaining that all the training was actually arranged by the royal gentleman. Layouts (such as the level of killing the dog where the bullets used are only blanks), scold Eggsy for wasting a great opportunity.
Eggsy talks to Harry and Merlin about Valentine’s press conference and discovers Valentine’s conspiracy and decides to save humanity. Afterwards, Harry followed Valentine to a church where a cult group gathered in Kentucky, USA. Valentine hid next door to activate the SIM card drivers for most of the church members’ mobile phones, causing Harry and the believers to involuntarily kill each other. When the only surviving Harry walked out of the church, Valentine appeared in front of him and explained that these SIM cards can emit an electromagnetic wave that can affect the central nervous system of the human brain, which will force the phone holder and bystanders to lose their senses. After explaining that, he is shot and killed Harry.
Seeing Eggsy like this through the monitor, in grief and anger, he went back to the store to find Arthur. Just as he was about to raise a glass with him to commemorate Harry, he suddenly noticed that Arthur had a chip on the back of his neck. So, Eggsy used clichés to ask him about Valentine’s use of human cannibalism to solve the overpopulation, in order to achieve the real purpose of saving nature, and used a trick to make Arthur drink the poisoned wine prepared for himself, after his death, from him The brain took out the chip, and finally came to the Royal Gentlemen’s headquarters to report the matter to Merlin and Roxanne.
Merlin, Eggsy and Roxanne decide to go it alone and reach Valentine’s guest house in the Alps. When Eggsy impersonates Arthur to infiltrate the headquarters, Roxanne uses a lift-off device to reach the outer atmosphere and launches a missile to destroy one of Valentine’s satellites, causing Valentine’s global connection to fail. At this time, Charlie, who was not elected from the Royal Gentleman and was invited to the scene, recognized Eggsy, forcing Eggsy to stun Charlie and run back. However, Valentine decided to call another satellite to complete the connection. Even Merlin couldn’t hack into Valentine’s fingerprint recognition system, so Eggsy had to return to the guest house again.
Because Eggsy was attacked by the guards, Merlin had an idea and let Merlin invade Valentine’s brain chip control system and turned on the self-destruction device, so that all the political and business celebrities who were implanted with the chip were killed by the detonation of their heads. Valentine, who is still alive, completes the satellite mobilization, opening the global connection and causing people all over the world to start killing each other.
In a fierce battle, Eggsy scratched and poisoned Gazelle with a poisonous sword hidden in the leather shoes, and finally threw her bladed limbs out to kill Valentine. With the device disconnected, the world returns to normal, and Merlin and Roxanne cheer for Eggsy. Before leaving, Eggsy came to the dungeon to rescue Tilty, the Swedish princess, and made a love song with her. After the incident, Eggsy succeeded Harry as the new Galahad. When he came to the bar to pick up his mother and sister, he was once again insulted by Dean. Eggsy then performed the famous words and scenes that Harry once said in the bar again. After knocking Dean unconscious with a wine bottle, he taught the rest of the hooligans in Harry’s way.

Challenge 7: Record/find reference footage
I found a video about flipping on the web. I am very interested. It doesn’t look very difficult, but the actual operation is still somewhat difficult.
Challenge 8 (Part 1): Setting Up Maya, Exploring Rigs & Blocking Out Body Mechanics
It’s really hard, and I’ve tried my best not to deform my body. The final result is alright.
These are some very important notes.
Next is my work
I changed it to my favorite pink. A normal walk is a cycle of 24 or 25 frames.
