Exploring different styles for the way clouds might look in our movie: A sketch for an alternative intro sequence:

We finished animating for the previs today. Now we just have to render it, and we’re done. I did some environment modeling today:

Some of the animation I did for our previs of the film. https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dypcBwYRG-3uwsTvfSwdiYKUb3gF7RzkmzagRxexwTOVDmgl4kbjpgfmD5njObzsnUK6pF6mA2guFQaqrhToCpbd5BLNrY_sQ8HAeFmBUDuDSkQRq9PG2nA9arzsMInD-I9j3s https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwxqgXCxQLKLzoHek4t6kwQ91prXfMEdb57WZ9nKv47dZTusKZPxqXPRmjaIupfWWO0bn4GX4U3Xf6TbhHxc4fWpjpa49a9behXz9cpvCyMupQhjahGYtjBFjafI_gydPZ3mck https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxJobbRRML96_hzzbFmSIU__jfH6ofLDSU20GKPNEtVJj_QDyb6co-VhZN_gh71anjLmUUndwCh6lp0YBrcnugwCWt1hUrZBNHwWzZxZe2HLMsz1-pRI3xD8Fk3NLqbIDenfGQ https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dykQWZPnGSu_QcLCN4tEM1iT83OIeiMbFGSnOOxH4H_BVLGv9vuBHn0sZoUx-o9QijnZ8NdZbd6nNfCfGe3P8Y7ImtHtEur1LQ0EoFEApsKxZxjRSm5PpZZFztBJpqJtkd-9eSa https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dx_BfG134UpabWaOoBxD1Y9paTkrtRJbV-ksTi3dFm3DRZdX_4eMqzag8YpYrDIDtc9aelLWUI63nDiPF9cGnSwjjMYiGPF34FcxtkPPeIMIsDFuij5Aiyq99oan8BQ5mywvis https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwvMN08L2gRm1E2JuvJ0qrQ2tS-qHjlSXYv6pZrAyiNrb8l7CIGdBPtvsb2KziYEiMr3yyO7BQgObRzh6Anoe8gxIfcMonQ9HUui8wQtZuf2Pm8LRGgsQUbdo_kYFwKjITfRYam

A flight cycle I did for the dragon today. https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwCXTdMthTxRIh14LQ-AWUzkb88Z8e5BFg4Z9QtzUOha-kFfpgvn_VJVTE6zpWruozn2oeOVGwNDyvpqSp5m6jg6BUVD6Aa3W9WQ3YpRPFOi–sOa2IIpGurUze52JJdqxqLPOp There’s very little movement on the dragon, except for the wings in this flight cycle. It’s inspired by the way hummingbirds fly. They flap they’re wings really fast, but hardly moves the rest of their body. Some thumbnails I did before doing the flight cycle:

David finished rigging and skinning the dragon for our previs today. Here’s a walk cycle I did using that rig: https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzEvOU0RVQj1GOhHXI3GlMi144gKOj5PAOd-q9tIqAxKCg-N2CQSZBw4iii9szOWfu3OgejCTA1CpQVjJ9EuaICpTe8vLGp0fbxtAU0Wvu-8TzByuZuF25ChgGRHVY0cOZS1jw Some thumbs I did of different walks before starting to animate the dragon: I’ll probably make a new walk cycle for the dragon. We talked about doing one more inspired by the way penguins…

Aleksander finished skinning Alston today, I copied yesterdays animation over to the skinned version. https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxTgdQA6DQfRl8pihoNKAk4cgzMR_obhkYbaBm1NlxQoEUk1lC3_QYa0N-H8FhJXfKOWPiGOlV0TmIld1YYYymOJnvs-Wzgwbyg1lVrHQ-bFs9S05HYggNyLnJb-RBINe3Fu7Z1

Aleksander made a rig for Alston using puppet shop today. I blocked out a walk cycle for Alston with it. I never animated with puppet shop before, but I found it very agreeable to work with after getting used to it. https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwbUUHMKZKe2HTVi59WGQJ0rNocFfALZGhKS9gfqCTEn-eatZUPofCmX5RvXD-EJ4igN9iBamMxRTZ8v0-O_Wqp6bWNmFfaYR6ISsZx0–97wM101wki7GiGRbrPNCAgEsUw-rY One of the inspirations for the way Alston moves will be Goofy.
