Getting closer and closer

I have a few more scenes that the animation needs clean up, then I'll be looking to task master color myself and to to some other folks. Can't wait till this is done! I'm ready to take on a new project.

Finishing up presentation slides.

Some Model sheets of the characters. So much stuff I didn't post the finals of.

Progress on scene 08

In this shot, the wanna be smooth operator slips up and calls this girl he is making out with by the wrong name.

Scene 28 Done for now.

Working on locking down scene 28 It's time to move on to another scene to see how everything is working together instead of obsessing over one scene.

Some 3d help.

In an effort to stay even more consistent with proportions I'm making all these characters as rough 3d models in maya for the tough angles as well.

Faux family photos

Some concepts for the faux family photo montage sequence.

Clean up and construction sheets

Dumping images

A bunch of character construction and concepts for a reveal of multiple headless boys.

More thumbnails.

Though I would post some more thumbnails. I have to really lock down what my ideas are so these shots can go faster.

Back at it again...

I took a little break so I could pretend like it was a new project, but I'm back to work again though. I've been experimenting with the look of the characters AGAIN! I plan on making them into puppets I can animate in Toon Boom... That is the plan at least.

Fun image

I want to make a t-shirt, because t-shirts are great... Plus they serve as moving billboards

.. So I had a few moments and played around with a potential idea for a shirt....

character skteches...

I've got a ton of sketches in sketchbooks... but I was reading some Character Animation Crash Course a few days ago, because my animation was feeling super stiff... So while watching some Paprika, I did my character in some of the poses from the book... It helped quite a bit... Feeling like animating ...

character redesign...

Oh my goodness... These characters are going to be the death of this project... The only character I feel like I like is the boy, Rick... The others are so so... at this point though, I have to get to animating so... These guys can't go through another revision!!! However, the silhouette of the characters are much clearer though...

another version with some color grads...

Raw Promo Image Sketch...

New Character Turns...

Sketch Crazy...

So I was trying to think of the flavor of this film, and I'm experimenting with the possiblity of adding tails... Not sure if I really want to go for this because of the additional animation involved... However it does add to the readability of the characters.
