Scene 6

Working on Getting the old man's attention, and asking if she could sit in the spare seat, the old man will be animated by desmond, so i will just have to focus on the old woman for this particular scene.

Scene 3 Almost done

Showed Dan this scene and said it seems ok, i will need to improve it because the hands are abit jolty, plus the reaction of the waitor still slow, he need to be in abit of a shock, at this point i wish i had IK for the waitor.

Scene 4

Scene 4 will be an easy shot to do as i have to make Mrs Allan walk to her table and as she is walking she realises that all the tables are reserved apart from the one where an old man is sitting therfore she goes towards him to ask if he could sit there. Here is a video to show what i did.

Waitor update

I could not get the movement right for mrs allan slapping the waitors hand for attention, so therefore i thought it would be even more comical if she pulled his fingers. however the reaction of the waitor i feel is not right.

Waitor scene

I' ve started to animate the scene with Mrs Allan trying to get the waitors attention, i'm finding quiet difficult as Mrs Allan is extremely short, however if i can acheive a successful scene it should be comical, because most of the gags is because she is small.

Our first complete scene

Our first complete scene only took a few hours, but thats because i did the walk cycle already, and she is only walking past the window of the shop so, only her head needs to be seen. Looking at it, i think its a very nice scene and i think it looks quiet comical as the shot establishes how small she is.

Red Bored in the Office at Wunderland

over the past 5 days, i have been working on a scene for Adam's film, this will be my final scene as i will need to start animating properly for my film. It is a shame , but i would have liked to work on more scenes for adam. Well its lesson to learn and is a lesson i will take with throughut my carrer. But anyways here are a couple of play blasdt for the scene.

New Schedule for the remaining of the final term

We realise that our previous group timetable is un achievable to follow due to big sets back, that being the Dissertation, as Me and Ross had an extentsion due change of tutors, we have spent the majority of 2nd Term on dissertation. After speaking with Dan, it was essential we got our act together at the begining of this 3rd and final term of our time at Ravensbourne. So Me and Des produce this scheduel which we strongly need to follow. As you can see how tight it look as i have come to the impression that i will need to animate a shot a Day, which seems quiet hard, however i know for the longer scenes that i will have to take more than one day.

She Can Walk!!

Here is the walk cycle i did with the Old lady. The rig seems to work quiet nicely, its not perfect but it will have to do. However alot of credit deservedly goes to ross for a good job on Mrs Allan.

Wunderland Scene, The Bad News, Mrs Allan ready to animate.

Lately i have been working on some animation for Adam, i have been given a scene where the red monkey is in his office and is basically meant to look bored. I was quiet excited to animate the scene simply as i have not done much animation as off yet, and since i have my computer back i will hopefully be able to finish it within a week or so.

On the downside, however more of a get ur ass together, we spoke to Dan today as he was checking to see what stage we are at the moment, and clearly he could see our film was strugling as we still have not had a complete environment just yet. We also come to conclusion as time is very much not on our side with a 3 man team we will have to jump straight into animation and go pass the 3d blockout stage. This has rally scared us, so we as a group spent a couple of hours reschedualing or schedule to see how long we got and what we need to do untill hand in. From the schedule we did its apparant i had to do a shot a day, but as the cafe shot was not completley modelled yet i had to wait till it was done to do some scenes. However the old lady (Mrs Allan) was finished rig, and i recieved it today thanks to Ross, I will over the weekend spend some time testing the rig by doing a walk cycle. This walk cycle can then be incorporated into some of the scenes. I must admit after our long and scary talk with Dan, it really i think is starting to motivate us to prove everyone wrong that we can finish this film.

WOOOOOOOOOO YEAHHH I GOT MY COMPUTER

Today i got my computer delievered and all fix, touch wood, it seems to be working alright. i could not do much work today as i have spent alot of time reinstalling everything i needed. Now that i have my computer i will be able to work on the films hoefully with out any problems.

Anyone for some tea?

Another test with the rig.

Testing the changes done to the rig

The old man rig has been changed after the first test for much better leg controll thanks to Dave. Here is a rough walkcyle i did to test the rig out.
