Katie McPartland Alien and Flour Sack

The first vedio is a test of the new sneak walk for my flour sack I going adjust the pose on the down beat and add an extra frame to really push it. The second one is the Alien animation with minor changes.

Alien ref video

Here is one on my ref videos that i shot

Alien Test 4

I've added the swoop on a mixture of 3's then going into 2's

alien: animation test swoop

This one is on the 2's

This one is on the 6's

the dimlema i am having is that my frames need to be 62 frames long. On the 6's for this first round it reaches 67 frames that I need but it's not slow and not the action I want. The 2's is better I actully want to speed up the ending a little bit by putting it in the 1's but that only reachs about 23 frames which is way to short for the action. I'm a little afraid of adding extra frames, worried that it might slow it down to much.

 The action is from where the character is sitting facing the left and moves to the right when she speaks the first major "Alien"

Alien test 3

There are a few timing and acting hiccups that I am   working out but I think I'm on the right path.

Katie McPartland: Sound test/ timing 1

 I like the timing better in this one still needs fixing a little bit





This was my very first round of sound and key frames i still working on getting the action and sound lined up.

Katie McPartland: first round alien rough animatic

#3 flip

flip test 4

I was able to grab a working capture station, I have put in the charater for most of the animation, I just have to add two little jumps at the end to finish. I will also be adding a few more tweens to make the animation flow much better. please let me know what you think.

Dino test 1

rough animation of the first ten seconds and part of the walk cycle

Alien rough 1

I was just trying to get the four key movements down, later on i will add the minor fidgeting and ref video also. I only did the first character so far because she takes up most of the animation

flip 2-4

The first two are me messing with the timing the third has the added tweens, but I would like it to be just a little slower

Alien lip sync backgrounds/envo layout

So this is for the doctor who lip sync that im going to do next, I wanted it to look like a normal coffee shop/cafe for when the human girl is complaing about aliens, but when the camera switches around there will be this huge window looking out into pace. The last pic is the lay out of the cafe, the blue dot is the girl and the green dot is the alien.

Flour sack and Flip

Frist video: Is the finish flour sack there are still a few minor details I would like to correct, but otherwise i am happy with it.

Second video: Is the first test of the flip, Im pretty sure the she grews in the end of the animation and I will be changing that. Im still trying to find a background of inside the KND tree house.

Please let me know what you think of both of them, I hope you have a nice presidents weekend.

Flour sack 2: shadow games

Here is the almost completed flour sack 2 animation, i just need to recapture a small section add the walk cycle and final shadow.

Animation test shadow 2 and 3

These are a few rough animations of the flour sack, They are still missing the shadow that he interacts with.

Animation 1: Pony

I roughly pieced together most of the pony animation.
