First Test render, i couldn't tell from just play blasts so i rendered out my work. I notice the shoulders shoot up too quick as well as other things.

Experimental Test 2 - Wait until 0:10 on the Video

This is my last test before i start the real deal, that hoping if it all goes to plan. I've made a video of some of the ink droplets reacting to the music, it is not following any design. But the main reason of the video was to see how it would work. Due to the camera quality the film looks grainy, i will hire a better camera to film the final version. I also will try and do some stop motion with the footage and have it in the back ground after i change the footage opacity.

Experi-mental

Some people helped to point out these videos for me, though they are both CGI I like the composition and colour of them both. The With Rain video has a really cool introduction with the single line coming across the screen, i would like to try and implement this into my work since my chosen sound has a heavy bass line i feel a single line moving to the sound is the best way to represent the sound.

This here is a test i did using the burst mode on my camera. it didn't work out as well as i hoped.

11 Seconds So Far

So I've started working on my scenery and a screen cap to see what the animation will look like. I've modeled the background (which i want to add a blur too) and created my Wilson. Then I have added the two characters to the main scene, so this is the look i hope to achieve.

11 Second Club Animatic and Ref

I've done an animatic of key poses for the 11 second competition. I haven't included any facial expressions and annotations because they should all HOPEFULLY be apparent after I act it out. The basic plot of the short is that character 2 has eaten the last remaining food on the island. At the end character 1 says "you stole it, he stole it" at that point i want him to look at the screen, which then cuts to volley ball resembling that of Wilson from castaway, which has been the perspective of the audience, plus it emphasises the fact that there going crazy. So here is the rough animatic:



Here is my refference video, I'm going to animate from this angle then reposition the camera to make it more realistic, however i dont want the characters to be facing away from screen too often.
