Currently working on my animatic.
I am drawing out the characters again except cutting out the arms, legs and head and drawing underneath. That way when doing the animatic i can move them just like a captain pugwash cartoon.
I will also draw a 3/4 view of the characters allowing me to be able to move all around, if a little crude.
I will post the images very soon!

1 - 8
Just finished our rough version of the Storyboard.
i think tomorrow Ritchie and I will pin up the drawings and go over how the story flows, addinig and removing parts and generally making it better!
Also i think i will ask Jim for some advice on camera angles. So far the storyboard camera angles are quite tame. This can all be changed once in Maya with a 3D camera to play with, but early planning is always good, knowing exactly how the film will turn out.
I will also draw more frames to the storyboard making our animatic flow more smoothly and have a more animated feel.

Knitwit Model Sheet
Here is the finished model sheet for Knitwit:
I am currently working on the model sheet for 'Red Oxide' aka 'Fred'. I haven't completed his legs yet as I need Ritchie to give me the go ahead on the new design.
The original colour concepts i did (further down) will stay.

How do they look together?
This is how the characters look together:
Do they compliment each other... i think they do!

Updated Joseph profile
Joseph Model Sheet
Joseph's Model Sheet:
I have drawn Joseph's model sheet. His profile was the hardest one! I have drawn so many and they all look rather odd.... the one above is the best one, i think it's good, if a little oriental?!
I struggled keeping his cute chubby cheeks but hopefully this will act as a good guide for Matt to use when modelling him.
I have purposely drawn the rolled part of his sleeve and the bottoms of his shorts so they end on the joints. This way when rigging and weighting him, the difficult joint areas will be easier to tackle and when animated the clothing will hide the joints moving; making the bends appear perfect (if they aren't already!).

Updated 'Fred' (Red Oxide)
After listening to Ritchie's insults, i changed 'Red Oxide'.
Firstly his head is square and i have removed the weird metal things that held his head in one place??!
His arms are now bigger and most importantly, can move more freely! Before his arms were restricted by his torso, but now i have included to ball and socket joints giving complete freedom of movement. I also chopped off the offending 'should pad' allowing Freds arm to move upwards.
Red Oxide's Hands are also bigger and thicker. I have added and extra ball joint on his wrist allowing complete movement on his hand. In the final model his hands will be able to grip.
His chest plate is now free from the rest of his torso allowing fred to be able to bend down midway down his body. Now Fred can have three joints up his spine.
And finally! I have removed his "Gay Meteller Boots" (Quote Ritchie) and replaced them with thicker legs and almost wind up toy like feet...
Fred may still change, i will be running this picture by Ritchie, hopefully it is closer to his original dream.....

Planning my work
My internet has been down for a while! We all love NTL sooo much!
i'm back now, so, what have i been doing?
Well, had a meeting with dan, going to try and make a small 'to do list' at the beginning of each week. That way, i have a clear path in what i have to do.
Will post the updated character designs soon, and as instructed by dan, i will explain all about them, how they will move and the reason for making them the way they are etc...
Today Ritchie and I worked on the storyboard. Half way through! will post them too, once i get them off him!
Going to work on finishing all character sheets for the end of the week then finish a complete storyboard at the end of next week, will post some drawings etc tomorrow, no scanning for me tonight.
