storyboard lock down (for now at least).

During our meeting today we more or less finalised the storyboard.
Will show you bits and pieces as soon as I've actually drawn it other than some fishy looking sketches in my notebook.

UPDATE!
X hours later I finished the drawings. Below you are witnessing pages of radness!




Status report presentation is due on Thursday so showing off our mad modeling skills along with storyboard and sound samples! Will be fantastico!

At least that's the plan. Ears crossed.

Dunedin Arts

Attended a lecture this morning on the topic "Introduction to Character Animation" given by Halldor Hallddorson (that's pretty much the Icelandic version of Johanna Johansson - I'm not alone! YES!) from Dunedin Arts.
It was good. He brought up a lot of basic principles that are so ridiculously obvious that you tend to forget them. People should be reminded of these more often.
He also provided us with some key information on bones and rigging. Honestly, very intriguing and now I can't wait to make some kick-ass bunny rigging!

Conclusion: 3D animation is awesome.

live from the studio!

Good morning!

It's 4:44 am - a fantastic hour to start modeling the bunny body! An exceptionally fine hour indeed (that's sarcasm people).

I've drawn up the body from front and side view as I intend to follow this tutorial as a point of reference and then see where it takes me.

This is Rodney's current fantastic figure:

It's a universal fact that NOBODY LIKES A SKINNY RABBIT.
Speaking of, have you ever thought about that skinny characters are always (this "always" is naturally up for debate) evil and the chubby ones are the good guys? I just realised. Wow. A 5am revelation. Holy cow and then some..!

I hope everyone is sound asleep.
See you in the morn.. later.
