tonight i set up the shot.. figured out my scene and poses for the boy.. and BAM! the arm is gone..
the armature broke in the elbow.. thank god already thought about this happening and i can replace the arm with ease.. so the night has been wasted for animation but im just happy that it is not the end of the world as i know it.
here i the end scene, most shots are complete. i did the smile last night but just not sure about it.. i wanted it to be subtile but i think it might be a little too subtile, so much so that the audience might miss it.
please watch and any feed back would be great :)
oh and the final sot was just a test, thats whys its jerky.
too date i have animated 16 shots, with about 7 to animate. all the long shots are complete, so the remaining shots are mostly of the boy pulling faces.
im happy with the progress, the plan is to have all the shots that involve the clown done by the end of the week.
hear is the one of the shots i did last night. i like the clowns reaction, i think it could have been better but, we are here now.
it was a mission to get this done in one night, but 10 hours of animating later here is the dreaded run cycle.
really happy with how it turned out. you will notice that the bush disappears in the foreground that is because it was moving around too much so i made the decision to take it out and comp it in later.
