The animation is a lot closer to the desired movement of the character, but I still need to animate her facial expressions. The above animatic is made up of both shots 6 and 8 - shot 5 being a close up of the locket in her hands. It was requested that I make it obvious where the shot should cut, so the animation jumps to the start of shot 8.

Working on WingSpan
The key frames for shot 6 have been tweaked in both the dope sheet and graph editor and shot 8 has been blocked:

Come Fly with Me?
Today I continued to work on the listening project, including the clean design and animation of the airplane:
Lego bricks fall onto the stage to form the shape of the plane before multiple Lego-Laurie's pop onto the wings and transform the vehicle into a rocket. Below is the progress so far:

As Seen On TV!
My friend Dan is a film maker studying a Higher National Diploma in Moving Image. His short film 'Who's That?" won an award at the Celtic Media Festival in 2014. He has big ambition for his final-project film 'As Seen On TV' and has offered me the chance to animate his intro.
He has sent me a few images (above) to give me an idea of the desired style and colour scheme. His flexible brief is for a circle to animate as the title appears, before a series of different shapes animate to introduce the cast. As the narrative contains drugs, surrealism will be key to the overall ambience. An example of the animation style can be seen in the following video at approximately 00:15:
In Adobe After Effects, I've played around with a few effects to experiment with the shapes and colour that could be used - which have so far been approved.

Wing Span begins
The animation stage has finally begun for the crew project film 'WingSpan'. I've been given shots 6 and 8 to work from as they are fairly similar in terms of action and composition.
This is the first stage of animation for shot 6, which gives a rough idea of Amelia's timing and movement.

Progression of the écorché
I spent this afternoon continuing to mold my first écorché in Mudbox.The form is starting to pull through a lot better, but there are still a lot more details that need to be added, particularly into the arms and legs.
I have also started working on the face, but have found this a little more difficult to shape accurately than the body, so I may leave this area till last.
