Update

So far the project has run rather smooth, our characters are animated and coloured, our stop motion scenes are ready for After Effects. Up until Christmas both sides of the project have formed nicely, our robots are looking the part! its just a matter of sorting the effects out and making the 30 seconds successful, I'm just hoping that the holidays haven't left knocked us right off the mark.

Here are some images of the production work, I'm glad that this project has allowed some experiment.

Animation is done! But what colour will ladybot be??

Another colour concept....somethings not sitting right..i think the red might just win.

Finally all the hand drawn stuff is completed! My robot is ready to go into the computer and get a small make over. we've been looking at possible colour pallets for a while so hopefully all should fit into place. we've got the basics as red and black but it still need a few tests before given the go ahead.

Animation sequences

All this week has seen my 2D character begin the task of animating, within the 30 seconds 2D will run alongside 3D, jump and glide with the sequence ending back at the finishing line. So far a run cycle from the front has been completed with a cycle from the back underway as well as her scene at the starting line, her fold to stretch and her glide. After the animations are complete they will be coloured but until then the tedious task of making her move continues.
