Updates

I have tweaked the lighting in shot1 according to the feedback from last week.
- Added contact shadows where needed
- added moulding to the floor where it meets the wall

This is a frame from my outdoor scene, where the pig is flying between the pylons.
- The scene is lit completely and I am tweaking the final animation now
- motion blur on the propeller is not looking the way I want it to, so i will fake it with a textured disk in the place of the propeller.

-the indoor shots are taking no more than 45 seconds each at HD720p resolution and the outdoor scenes are taking about a 85 seconds each.

-I will be ready to start rendering by tomorrow. I will show my finished animation before I start rendering.

Look

Here are a couple of images that inspired the kind of look I want for the interior shots.

Note the oversaturated colors, the shadows and random frames on the wall, and the dirt and grunge textures on the wall( although I might have a wall paper on my walls).

UV layouts , preliminary textures and Test renders with Shaders will be uploaded soon.

These clips show examples of exaggeration, follow through , overlap, slow in and outs, arcs and a little squash and strech.

Project Ideas

The Nursery Rhyme I chose is "Flying Pig" which goes like this:
Dickory, dockory, dare,
The pig flew in the air;
The man in brown,
Soon brought him down,
Dickory, dockory, dare.

----THE END----

I am going to try and show the story of a pig who flew!

Visual Influences for the Pig are Spider Pig and the Pigs from "Shaun the Sheep"

I am still playing with who the man in brown is and how exactly the pig is going to fly.
Maybe he flies a Biplane!!

Welcome to Rhymes and Times!
