Final Character Designs

Whew, I've been thinking that since my animatic doesn't reflect my new character designs, I'd post them up! Of them, the statue's design changed the most. The chickens changed in shape, but after talking to my professor today, I'll also be adding spurs to the rooster! I had no idea roosters had spurs, I think it's because all of my reference footage was of spurless roosters.

Senior Film Animatic

Here it is, for your viewing pleasure! This was finished in my senior concept class last spring. Since then, I've decided to change the first shot from a vertical pan and zoom into just a horizontal pan instead. And I'm also thinking of taking away the adult language of the rooster's subtitles.

Because it's pretty animation intensive, I'm thinking I'll have to go for some sort of stylized limited animation in order to complete it on time. And I'm also possibly thinking of outsourcing some part, perhaps inbetweens.

Possible Promo Poster

It's the start of weak four and things just keep trucking along. I'll have to admit I haven't quite hit the animation groove yet, but I hope to have at least a majority of my key frames done by next weekend. Also, this weekend there are going to be a couple of recruitment events for senior films, hosted around the campus. So, I got to work on a quick promotional poster this weekend! Ta-da!



I'm still playing around with the title, but until something more sophisticated comes along, I'll just be puntastic 'til then.

I did manage to finish all my rough layouts, meaning I've cleaned up my shot compositions as well and fixed my space continuity issues for the most part. I'll still post up my original animatic sometime in the near future though, so you all can get a better feel of my film!
