Mikey Test rig animation



Some parts of the rig really needs fixing before animating for our film.





Dog rig update!

I've just done a rough texture test - here's how it's looking so far. I like it, but it still needs more detail. We are going for a really simplified style, but I still think it needs a bit more to it.

Production Schedule

We're up to date and following the schedule nicely!

Storyline

I've just realized we haven’t posted the film's storyline so here it is:

Rodney is a senior scottie dog who finds himself the victim of his young human companion’s birthday gift.  As the boy tries to work out how on earth he is meant to play with his new toy, Rodney’s curiosity puts him in danger of getting in the unpredictable toy’s way. Will the boy find out how to play with his new toy? Will Rodney finally be left alone by the menacing toy so he can live out his old age in peace?

Definition of DOGGED

: to be treated unfairly, to get the rough end of the stick <did you hear what happened to Rodney? Yeah he got dogged>

Rough mesh for Rodney

This first mesh was fairly simple to make, i'll add more detail and hopefully finish painting weights in the next couple of days. I'm having a fair bit of trouble painting the weights on his legs, as i've made them really short. Fingers crossed I can get it working soon.

Concept for Rodney, the dog character.

Dogged - good to go!

It's official, we've well and truly started creating our film. We're now part of the way through pre-production and things are coming together nicely. We met with Priscilla today to discuss our script and she's given us lots of things to consider before the next draft is written up. Things are looking good!
