Animatic

With the rig completed and fully functioning i had to wait for a week while Nathan unwrapped all the textures on the models so i could begin work on the animating whilst he then began painting up the textures. i threw together an animatic to aid in the actual animation process as a storyboard and although it was useful we were both pushed for time so i decided not to render the animatic and instead move on to the final animating with the animatic as reference. Here are a few screen shots of the animatic in progress.

With the Animatic completed we then had to Get hold of some recording equipment and  a camera to film the actor and the background we would comp into the animation. To do this we had to enlist the aid of our friend Emma Grey from the Media Production course. Emma requisitioned a HD camera, tripod, and some amazingly heavy batteries from the media department and the three of us went on a filming day around stoke. After completing the outside filming we then called in a favor with another friend from the Drama performance and Theater arts Sam Turner our very own Man in black for a spot of green screen acting.
