Episode 11: A New Danger

Ok so wow been crazy busy getting my Fresh Shorts Funding Application into the New Zealand Film Commission! fingers crossed. So haven't updated the blog in awhile.

I've started animating now which is fun, time consuming, but fun.

Here is a couple of stills from my animation.
Albeit POV of Mandrake

Albeit grabs Mandrake

CU framing for Albeit's responses


WIDE of Albeit finding Mandrake

So it's been busy on these shots and also been difficult finding the limitations of my characters designs.
For example he can't touch the ground that easy so making him grab the Mandrake was a bit  tricky had to think of a work around.


Here is the shot (still without final lighting).........and


Here is the work around. a wee bit funny but it got the job done!

So I'm hoping to get everything finished animated by Friday so I can start the renders! 
I'm slightly concerned at this point I wont have enough time to do the sound and BG plates properly. 

On the other hand I'm happy with how the 3rd year group project is going I finished 4 VFX shots fully comped as well. Really happy with how they are coming along.
