Week 12 Update!


Here's a short update on what we did over the past week! Puppets are finished and being tweaked by our riggers. Mouth packs for characters are mostly completed, with one currently in progress, and hand packs are being created and finished! We've got a little bit to go before we're fully ready to begin the animation, but above is a video testing out the mouth pack for Jeff. Once all the packs are completed, we'll move onto more fleshed-out test animations.

Week 13 Update!

 Puppets, puppets, puppets! This week was filled to the brim with work on the puppets! Hand packs and mouth packs for the puppets have been completed, so most puppets are completely done and ready to be animated with! Above is some test animation footage of Jeff by Andrew, who has played with puppet test animations for the better part of the week. What comes next are layouts and the beginnings of animation. We're going to start getting into the nitty-gritty parts of the animation, as well as working on the hand-drawn segments to get them out of the way early! Be excited; we're setting sail shortly!

Week 15 Update!

  We've wrapped up another midterm week! Each of us has been working hard on testing and fixing puppets and catching any bugs or glitches that occur. Our puppets are almost done being cleaned up, and we'll be ready to begin animating with our puppets very soon. It's exciting stuff! A couple of our hand-drawn scenes have been started as well. We're working on getting the keys drawn and feeling out the timing of the animation. We're hoping to work alongside the puppet animaters to keep the movement consistent and the characters similar! More layout work is being done on the side. Our layout and asset artists are doing fantastic work and we're really glad to have them! More to come soon, please stay tuned!

Week 21 and 22 update!

  A bit of a belated welcome back to the production! When spring quarter started, the whole crew hit the ground running. We've been cranking out animation since the beginning, hand-drawn and puppeted alike. Hand-drawn animation is entering clean-up this week, and puppet animation is almost finished being roughed out. Audio and layouts are also being wrapped up. The audio had been running into problems, but layouts are almost completely finished for our film. We're excited to have them done and see the entire project come together as well! Really what's happening now is a lot of clean-up and finishing. We're very close to having a new, updated animatic to show everyone and we're really excited to show off all of our hard work! Thank you for your patience, and we hope you are looking forward to seeing our show!
