Wayne’s Payback and What’s Next

https://vimeo.com/64088640  <~~~ NEW ANIMATION

Here is the final version of Wayne’s Payback. I fixed some things my teacher told me I should do and ta da. It is 3 minutes and 19 seconds…. And here I was worried I was going to get a minute or less.

 

So what’s next? Well I don’t have to fully complete an animation for the rest of the semester but I need to get starting since my BFA exhibition is next semester.

So what am I going to do for the next animation? Here is some hints….I am introducing a new character, Mer the Seagull.

Wayne is going to have to find the hero within himself…but it might take a few….”transformations” to find what power works for him.

Truly excited for this though it’s going to be a pain in the butt to animate.

Part 2 Some Photos

Wayne’s collection

This took more time to do than I liked but it was huge.

First part done…enter crabcake soon. Here are some photos.

I know I never posted in process or story board but here it is. I’ll try to be better for the next animation.

Wayne and Crabcake Movement Test Video

Just testing out the movement for my next animation to see what I can manipulate on Aftereffects and what I have to actually animate. So it’s got quirks that need to be looked at. None of this is going to be imported into the animation though. But there will be the same movements. I have fallen in love with the puppet tool. ♥ It is going to make Crabcake so much easier…as well as animating my arms.

I thought it would be cute to have Crabcake wave goodbye at the end of the video.

3rd Animation…Welcome Back Wayne and Crabcake

So I had a change of plans for my third animation of the semester. I decided I wanted to do an introduction to Wayne and Crabcake. See my header…yeah that is the style I will be working with. I also wanted to work with GUI again.

It’s been awhile for this duo but they shouldn’t cause me any harm since I am not drawing everything out on paper first. Besides I missed them. And everyone loves them so far.

I do not have my storyboard scanned….it’s in a book that would be relatively hard to scan without ripping out the paper and their is too much junk on my scanner. Besides the storyboard is just a rough sketch of what will be happening. But the gist of it is that I come out and introduce Wayne and Crabcake, show a brief clip from their first episode and then go into how they were made by showing other brief clips. (This is part of the GUI process.) I will also have my characters being pointed at with arrows explaining things. For example, Crabcake will have “hard red exterior,” “dangerously sharp claws,” and “Bad temper.” while the arrows continue to prod him. (Another part of the GUI process) The end is inconclusive at this point. The ending I have now is not strong enough but I am working on it. Their is a chance I will introduce the other characters of their world but I am not sure it would work out yet.

So here is a picture of Wayne for a scene where Wayne is bouncing joyfully since I don’t have a storyboard to show. I’m trying to use squash and stretch a little…this is the squash.
