Rendered scene

Here is a rendered scene, looks pretty. It's a shame that we wont get it ready for hand in

Doing it all MYSELF

the reason we did not finish the film on time is that i tried to do too much. I didn't trust my group members to be able to create the character to the quality i wanted.

Modeling
I wanted to model the characters myself so that they will be right for animation. Also that they stay true to my concepts.

Rigging
My group members only new basic rigging, so i had to take this on aswell. The main thing that was needed in the rigs were the IK/FK switch which many people do not know how to setup. Extra things like the characters hip being able to move independently of the top half of the body.

Animation
My group members are not animators so i took over the animation. The piece of animation they did do was ok but i still had to edit the to improve it.

Rendering

We can't finish rendering the whole film ready for friday. we've underestimated how long it takes to render. The main reason it is taking so long is that we are using ambient occlusion.

Sound

We have the track we are using for the chase sequence, but the sound effects for the whole film can not be fully done until we finish the final layout of the film. This is because if we lay the sound now and we were to change the films timing in the future it will throw everything out of sync.

This means we wont have the sound reafy for hand in on friday, but it will be ready for the degree show.

Bin Pick up reworked

I've finally finished the monster bin animation. it definitly moves alot more convinving than my previous attempt. I guess i've taken the easier option by the character not picking up the bin.

Re-editing

I had to edit mutila's animation. The animation he did was abit to jerky. i've added a few steps to the animation so the character walks into the shot rather than him being in the shot already.

This my version
