Ok, so after twitching about with everything imaginable, i decided that it being to dark would just have to be that. I'm really not confident with lighting in maya and ask many times as i've tried it looks ugly (I guess that something to work on in the future), the fact is the contrast of the movie isn't THAT bad that it renders it unwatchable, it's fine.
Just a little darker than intended.
I will admit picking up maya again was enjoyable aswell as highly infuriating. Sometimes things work the way you want them to, other ways the program screws you over. Be it closing on you for no reason (Week 1 i think)? Or not allowing the camera to move the way you wanted or rendering problems (Like now).
The camera on the other hand i think came out well, i wasn't going for the "amatuerish" kind of new cameraman motion, but i really do think the whole " WHERE'S THE ACTION" camera seems to work. I don't think there is ever a static camera shot (apart from at the end) it's always moving. Be it swaying or trailing behind so a quicker swing has to be done to catch up with the focus (The ball after the book topple).
Doing this though, has made me question what type of animation i really want to do, i mean CG animation is fun yes, but the problems i had with it often annoyed me beyond belief. I understand that if i want to go into game animation Cg will have to be my foundation i will NEED to be good at it, i also understand that if i want to go into animating for tv/movies because of the evolution animation is taking CG will also be a huge part of my career either way.
Overall i'm reasonably happy with the result, having NEVER and i mean NEVER worked with 3d programs before, especially not just modeling but animating the piece it was a huge learning curve that i had to overcome but i think i did it...(I hope i did it :D)
Enjoy (Even tiger woods couldn't hit a shot like this).
