Coinage Update (at long last)

I've finally managed to find some time for this and have updated it ...

Latest version, added pocket, and bones

To do:
1: re-do spitting out bones chair animation as it's too floaty at the moment, needs snap!
2: work through cleaning up and inbetweens
3: add string (tied to coin)
4: work on opening sequence and end credits
5: add sound

Coinage update ...

Here's the blocking stage of my little animation thing ...



After showing it to a couple of people and listening to some suggestions, I'm going to add a little section before he finds the actual coin where he finds a couple of other things first, a few suggestions were made for the particulat items .. but I have a couple of ideas of my own that wil maybe add a bit more acting to Alfie. .. I might get chance to add in a 2d scribble version of the extra bit later this week ... stay tooned er . .as they er say ...

Coinage update ...

In my last post I showed the original 2d clip and an image of a chair model ...

here's a screen grab of the character who I call alfie:



Next post will show the blocked out stage ...

Coinage .. short short animation exercise ...

I thought it was about time I updated the BliG.

since being made redundant from my job recently as well as trying to find a job to make sure I can feed my kids and keep the house, I've been working on a little animation. Sometime ago i did a quick sketch in a couple of hours to get the idea I had moving, and here it is:



The plan is now to go on and start doing a 3d version (not stereoscopic - although that is possible these days now that I mention it .. hmmm ... thinks ... :D)

I'll try and keep up and post stuff as I do it, the next stage is .. "the stage"

nothing much, I know .. but at least It's a start ...
