Screenshots...




so.. it's been a while.. I've been really busy and got about 4 minutes of animation done now. Can't upload movies right now as it takes too much precious working time ;)
Here are two screenshots anyway with the final look and background.
I think (and very much hope so) that I will be done with all the animation next weekend. That gives me enough time to write my theory to put sound under the movie and maybe to work over weak parts.
Ok, now back to work..

Intro Animation


Ladies and gentlemen: let me introduce the intro of my animation short. I'll probably change a few things again, tweak things a bit and stuff, but generally this is what it's gonna look like. I haven't put any sound underneath it yet but I'm working on it. Hopefully more will come soon...

look refined


I've been refining the look of my backgrounds and have been playing around with lighting also over the weekend. I've applied textures and a bit of shading. In addition to that I've got my first scene animated. I'm quite happy with it but it took way to long, so I really need to speed up a little now...

awww


aww... poor baby...
What's been happening: I'm up to version 3 of my animatic now and am starting to develop an intentense relationship with my characters and the story. It's been a great decision to do the animatic with the illustrator files directly in the computer cause now I'm all familiar with how I can move the little buggers around, what's working and what's not quite there yet.
I still need to paint up the backgrounds a bit in photoshop so they are getting more grip.

Fräulein Meier-Willbrich


And yet another smashing character featured in my little bachelor animation: Fräulein Meier-Willbrich. She is the mistress of her realm and the most caring human being when it comes to potted plants. But in case your no Ficus Benjamini you better watch out, as you'll officially be labeled a disturber of the peace!
