Animation, progress 27.03.12:

We are in a bit of a crunch period at the moment and I have not had the time to update as regularly as I want. Anyway here is some of the animation we have done so far.

Sound recording.

We went to the sound studio today and recorded the sounds for the characters. It was a lot of fun and I think we got a very good sound track out of it. Here is the animatic with the sounds put on, Voice of Neil is Hakon Sorensen and the voice of the grandson is done by Hayley Davis.

Previs and camera testing:

I have been testing the scene inside the Gnome's house to see how the camera will work. Here is as far as I have gotten.

Texturing update:

Here is an update on our texturing. Textures and unwrapping by Hayley Davis.

Rigging:

Here is a test we ran for the grandsons rig with bendy limbs. We kept some of it, but some we're removed due to difficulty skinning.

Skinning:

I am nearly done with the skinning of the grandson character, here are some work in progress pictures. Modelling and skinninng Hakon Sorensen. Rigging Tore A. Thoresen.

Character modeling, part 2:

Here are some renders of the main character Neil as a 3D-model. Concept Hayley Davis, 3D-modelling Amir Porcic.
