Time for weekly practice again. This one was sort of last minute, since I had to finish up my dissertation.
On this one we have a man waiting for the bus, bored out of his mind and not paying attention to his surroundings. He looks around and sees a small creature sitting next to him, not caring at first, but suddenly realises how bizarre it is and panics. It was originally going to end with the creature being annoyed and gets on the next bus coming, but I didn't have enough time to animate the punchline, hence the sudden ending.
I only got started on this on friday, and I managed to do the entire animation sequence for both rigs in just two hours. What I did was that I just positioned each rig on designated spots and posed them, then I did a breakdown with keyposes throughout the designated frame count of 410 frames. Then I filled in the gaps as fast as possible, fixing things as I went on to make sure it was all animating properly. Both rigs are very well made, so luckily I didn't have any problems with any IK or FK joint movements, since I worried that they would break as the Ben rig jumps up and moves away. The Hobo rig was pretty straightforward as well, with easy-to-use control panel that allows me to give him a nice springy animation as he leans away and jumps up to face Ben. Hobo didn't require much keyposes since it is pretty much just a flexible blob that can be thrown around without breaking anything or the animation getting screwed.
The setting was made as quickly as possible on saturday, just modelling basic blocks and propping them up like lego blocks to make a bus stop shelter, and then I made a quick building in the background as purely to fill in the void behind Ben. Lighting was done very quickly as well, and I wish I could do more with it, but it ended up just adding unnecessary amount of time it would take to render the entire scene without breaking it up.
