Cinematic Production - Character Animation 03

Week 7 - Day 1 (Totally forgot to post anything last week so a recap is what you're gonna get...)

After our progress meeting last week we decided that 1) my creature animation had too many things going on and B) that we're gonna have a maximum of two of them within the scene and C) I'm going to split the animation in two so that one is crouched on the floor and the other is already standing up when they both sense a disturbance in the FORCE and turn towards the actor/camera to glare bloody murder at them. Hoorah~

I also have an idea for the title/credit shot!! We could have a blank, black canvas with the tree in the middle zoomed up to the ipod screen so we can see very clearly what's being displayed there and we'll do our outro like that. I'm gonna try and gif that and hope it looks as good in real life as it does in my head...but first...I need a picture of that tree! TEAAAAAA!!!! ADRIANNNN!!!

So, here's what I got so far: two spirit creature animations in different stances both looking at the actor/camera just as the glitch happens.

(Also, I'm so sorry, Keat; you were right: the first gif I put up did have the spirit creature going down then up before turning to the camera. My memory sucks and I drew this myself! I'm sorry! I will apologize again to you later...)

Now for the end credits which I shouldn't really be touching until next week BUT IDEAS. DKJSHFKSDHFS

I should also be working on that model pack. I'll draw up some rough poses and what not for that later in the week as well. I've got my rough animations more or less down pat, but I'll bring it up with the others before we really finalize it. =D

This is what I envisioned our end credits is going to look like...

And I gotta say that I really like it. XD I'll pitch it to the others and see what they say. If it's good to go then I'll leave it as it is and do the proper clean up next week. Now...time to get them rough poses done!!

Cinematic Production - Character Animation 02

Week 5 - Day 6 (What Easter Weekend????)

Okay, so, I forgot to include a model sheet of the spirit creature I'll be animating but here it is! My really rough thumbnails from the previous post also look wonky as all heck but meh, thumbnails are thumbnails; they ain't supposed to look all nice and spiffy. Huzzah~

I was also thinking of inverting the colors during the glitch? Something like this...

The glitch is only gonna last a split second but I thought it'll be cool to have it look something like this freaky-deaky little thing before we settle into the final look of a dark spirit world with its dark spirit creatures. I'll try and make a gif to better illustrate what I'm trying to explain...later...

Here be a super rough version of the glitch...which is missing a few key details, like that blue-ish fire, but I'm not sure if we're going for the first version, skipping the second where it turns into FIREEE, and then settling into the dark version where it's got nothing around the neck...X__X I'll fix it...later...

Phew!

Maybe I won't because it's clear enough as it is, and for a rough copy it's not bad? I mean, heck yeah it could be better but uggghhh, Easter Weekend...
