Just quickly

Going to a weekend Python class taught by Taylor Carrasco, Animation TD from Weta Digital. Lots to learn this weekend!

Update on Hamish and Andy project, just playing with colours and ironing out issues with the rigs.



Next comes the other backgrounds and the bird rig.

Projects

Ages ago, I started planning out a short 90 second clip from the Hamish and Andy show. I wanted to animate one of the stories they end up telling each other, so I found a clip in one of their podcasts about a bird who walks across a telephone line, instead of flying. Andy witnesses this and isn't impressed.

Here is a test image of where I'm at in terms of progress. All characters rigged and tested, assets drawn and backgrounds roughed. I'm due to start animating next weekend, as I'm busy this weekend being a nerd and learning Python (yay!) - but when I do start animation, I'll be able to crank out 90 seconds or so of animation hopefully within the month.

Toy Story 3 is amazing, also life drawing on Tuesday and Thursdays is great too. Ahh, it's 12:04am. I should be in bed, work tomorrow!

Fat bee

Today while eating lunch with Ruby, a bee landed on the custard pie she was eating.

She accidentally bumped the pie as she broke some off, this clearly upset our new bee friend.


What a rude bee.
