dodgers beard.. continued

possible hair for dodger. it looks quite realistic but also quite stylized, enough to fit in with the character

quadraped

as i am thinking of aplying to cinisite for an internship i have been animating everylunch time. this lunchtime i have been animating a horse rig i downloaded. on the aplication form it said i needed to show a quadrapet cycle so here it is. it still needs work but is not bad for my first attempt at a four legged creature

just a refresher

as i am getting ready to animate, and its been a while, i am just refreshing my animation skills every lunchtime. once the rigs are finished i will be using my characters. but for now im just using downloaded rigs

blend shapes for swash

been havin trouble with this as there is quite characteristic detail in the model and moving the skin around sometimes distorts the character or completely folds in on itself. am soldiering on and the next challenge is to make his moustache follow his top lip

the Animatic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This first came out at over 5 minutes long! so some of my 331 drawings had to be dropped! i cut out some sequences as they seemed to only complicate the story although they would have been nice shots to animate but they are not worth makin the story suffer. i managed to cut it down quite a bit and along with some new frames to link others together it ended up at 3 mins 48 which is a nice time for me

the storyboard

finally got it finished after 331 drawings! i took careful consideraions on camera angles to produce some interesting shots. here are some examples

hair tests

pistol reference

charlie chaplin

as my film has no dialodue i have to work off of visual cues. i am having real trouble coriographing my action sequence soam referencing one of the masters

prop design

i am trying to design swash's pisyol but have no clue how a pistol works. so found some videos that helped to understand how they work. they are also quite funny
