The Story revised...

OK so my story has changed or should I say developed since I first posted what it was going to be.

Now the camera starts off looking at sign saying 'CCTV camera in operation' it will then pan down to what is my characters head on the floor, suddenly there will be a flicker of light on his camera head and he will come to life, lifting himself up out of the ground. once standing up, his lens zooms in down the street where he can see rubbish being thrown from round the corner, he looks alarmed and decides to cautiously make his way down to the other end to see what is going o, as he gets there a small cute looking animal appears and he looks lovingly at it only for it to then bare its gigantic fangs, shocked he jumps back slips on the banana in the street and into the bike and down the pot hole...BOOM. the end.

the influence for change in ending comes from an animation posted in 3d world called 'the chubbchubbs' done by Sony

CheekyChickito

Litten animal thing that looks like a chick, part of my animation, developed in the last 5 minutes.

haha

Cammy in my scene

Had a trial run today with cammy in the scene need to bit of work with the scene still but happy that the contrast between him and the ink n paint work better.

Flying

Made cammy fly.

Ink 'n paint

I put my character Cammy into my scene today but found he didn't really fully match it, he looks more cartoony where as my scene has a very real dark feel to it, so I decided to add in a bit of ink and paint and make a collaboration between the two hopefully making it a more comfortable environment for my character and the simple story.

Here are some edited images i quickly put together....

Silly Walk

Cammys shimmy of a silly walk.

Cammy Walk

Short video of my character cammy walking, is bit small due to rendering output need to change this for my sillywalk.

Finaly Rigged!

Cammy my robot for 'of bots and bananas is now fully rigged and ready to animate.

No 3ds...might as well draw a Lamborghini

Yesterday my 3ds max decided to go and break down, its still in break down mode and I urgently need to fix it in order to carry on with the project, I could go into uni but I'm lazy and like the comfort of my home and endless cups of tea. This gave me a chance to do a bit of digital art, I'm also going to spend today drawing storyboard animatic and collecting Foley and music for my final animation. Here's a Lamborghini I made anyway......

Trailer.....

A short animated trailer for my CCTV robot Cammy.

Development of scene for Animation.....

Just thought I would develop my scene for my animation, the scene if you can't remember is a dingy alleyway, there's quite a few more things i want to add to it but I'm reasonably pleased with how its coming along.

Leg Rig Animated

Here's my 1St at bit of animating with the legs, its a bit sketchy but 1St attempt I'm happy, onwards and upwards from here.

Leg Rig...

Had our seminar today on rigging the leg of our robots, it seemed to be bit more complicated than the arm but i think with a bit of time and concentration i will be able to get it done.
keep posted for the eventual outcomes.
