Hi guys,

maybe we could write down here, what everyone is doing at the moment.
I finished almost all my animation parts. just thinking of doing some tweaks like rolling eyes or so. but you can all watch the parts here and comment.
So now I've started colouring. I use only one colour layer for each frame. Hope everyone is fine with that.
How's everyone else's work going. Hope you all have fun and we'll get it DONE :D !!!

Merry X-mas

Whos doing what?



The assistant animator was put down on the dope sheets to overview that scene for continuity purposes.





This is very rough copy I made of who is doing which shot in the film. If you have any problems with the shot your doing or the amount of work- contact me.


dope sheets: scene 3 shot 1 and scene 2 shot 1

Animator: Livvy Brewer    Assistant: Janine Trapp

Animator: Dave Dymond     Assistant: Livvy Brewer
I didn't put in the boat moving. Animate the boat where you see fit within the time frame of the shot. I didn't put in the timings because i wanted the movement of the boat to be organic rather than planned




here are the other BGs in progress. I will try to find some further ref-pics to use shadows and lighting to make the pictures clearer

Scene 1 Shot 2 page 1 & 2: Animator: Dave Dymond
(sorry dave as this was my first dope sheet, its a little rough)

page 1(above)


page 2 (above)

My first dope sheets sort'd. Sorry if its a little rough. The sheet is actually 25 frames per second, but as long as you keep with the timescale of the action then everything should go alright. Good luck, Jamie.
