shot 06
This is one of the shots I animated apart from the camera movement. Everyone else did the texturing, lighting etc. I'm very happy with how this turned out because this shot gave me hell as well. Also this isn't even the final shot it has no occlusion, so when it does it, I imagine it will be a real "jizz in my pants" moment.
Shot 42 re-animating part 2
This is another progress I've done. Here it's showing me animating the guard on the scooters movements. Even though the scooter is supposed to have drifting in it, it's movements are a bit to flowery in movement. It needs to have sharper turns as id zig zags from letf to right. The same rule applies as always, I'll be animating the gaurds movements afterwards.

Shot 42 re-animating
This is a real pain in the ass, the deadline for this animation is this wednesday and it's monday today. I highly doubt I'll get it done by then. This scene was originally wider, however I've now actually been given an environment and it's a lot narrower. So I have to reposition the animation, not easy. This is the first attempt which is pretty cack, so I'll just concntrate on the scooter and work from there. I'm getting a little bit more comfortable with the graph editor though.

Shot 34 Stress!!!!
Man been working on this all day trying to make the fingers look right. Today I realised that even though fingers are easy to move, to make it look believeable especially when someone is completely scared completely out of their mind, is a very hard thing to do. Dunno if Lewis will be satisfied with this, if not I'll attempt it later. What a crappy day.

It's been a little while
It's been a while since the casper scream... I think. Anyway just here to post up a couple of shots and that will be that for now. This shot above is the scene where the guard is about to drive up to the cereal again. After all that's happened.
Here is the part where the guard is all banged up from his struggle with the pirates.

It is complete
Lewis gave me a little example, for this shot, he told me to take a look at Casper the movie. There's a scene in there where the guy that plays the president from independance day, gets scared and freaked out gradually as he sees a ghost. So following that, I came up with this.
He (Lewis) also told me to animate the fingers aswell.

atahings are getting heavy
Things are starting to get meore intense now. The animations need to done ASAP, lew told me that we have to try and get all of it done by next monday. Over half of it is already done, and I don't think the quality needs to ba absolutely flawless but, good enough. Anyway this shot is done with. Onto the next animations.

The torch hell is finally over
Lewis did the camera shot for this as well as slow down the animation a bit, to match his liking. Now time to get with the other animations. Apparently I have 4 more to do, and all animations need to be done for next monday. Yikes!

Torch!!!
Man never before have I been so pissed with a piece of animation before, in my life! Just so many redoin and redoin and so forth. And after so many redoing It then gets brought to my attention that the torch isn't supposed to have 3 bounces and that it shouldn't bounce so far but neare to the middle. Sigh...I wouldn't expect anyone to get it, basically it was a real stressful day, you fix one part of the animation, something else changes and you can slightly see it and it bothers you like that itch you get when you don't wipe your ass properly. These are the results of my animation. I did the best I could with it.
Another update on this. If you look at the previouse 2 plays, you will see that the torch stays still then mysteriously, starts moving on its own so I managed to fix it though. Looks better.

Dodge Progress 3
See this? the gaurd isn't even in his seat and any adjustments I try to make to him, like leaing in the opposite direction, he would just return to his default position or not follw the scooter anymore. It makes no sense since he and the scooter was both parented to the line in the first place, so why he won't follow is beyond me.
So I had to do it the hard way which is the way I did it before.
I had to key frame at the end of the path and then go to the starting point and animate while the scooter and guard made their way to the point. The good thing is I have more control now, as it's shown in the vid. However THIS IS THE MOST FUSRATING ANIMATION I'VE DONE! just getting the guard to stay in his seat is a real be-otch because he would either get left behind, go past the scooter or his fat back would phase though the seat. However that said the big movements are do now, I only hope that the worst has past. I should have this done by monday or tuesday. Stay tuned.
