Rigging

As I will be rigging the 3 characters, I've been thuroughly learning the software in Maya and am now quite confident with it, using Joe Neville's 'Zero' as practice.

Kiwi and Genet Run cycle

My 4th Animatic, I've incorperated most of the key frames as I will also be using this as a general guide to the animation

Update

Currently I am working on a new revised and detailed storyboard, fully incorperating the camera angle variations aswell as character expressions, I've devided the movie up into 4 quarters, the first two have been fully storyboarded, must get on to the rest so my team can have a more accurate idea about what they are doing

Time Budget Schedule

As you can see I know how a whole list of support on my team! new additions:
Gabrielle Dwyer
Adam Sullivan

How cool is that!?

End of the Beginning

It's right before christmas! and preproduction is due the first day of school after christmas!!

Updates:
Jessica Mosely, Reya Illinois and Ed Davies have joined the team as artists

Things needed still:
A clean up acurate pose and character portrait of the storyboard.
Careful budgeting and planning for the team.
Animation thumbnails for my pieces

Update project V.2

So the new project is going quite well. It's alot more simplified as well as a clearer direction. I have completed the rough storyboard with colour backgrounds and with helen's help I shall have a clear concept of the enviroments and exactly what needs to be built by friday. Tomorrow I shall start working on the animatic.
