AD - Episode 2 - Sequence 1 - Key Poses

1Hellooooo everyone! Hope you are doing nothing less than great 💛

Kahl here on a cool Sunday night, giving you some updates on how everything's coming along! It's been a long time since we have given an animation WIP. But at last, here's the very first key frames of this very sequence.

Final poses and shots have been created, and the general rhythm of this scene is polished. We are off to a great start! If you've been following our other project's WIP posts, you can think of these as an equivalent to the 'keys' drawing phase, where I shared sketches of the main moments of the scene. Now, I myself miss that 'sketchy' feeling those gave. But being able to animate more, both in quantity and complexity, is totally worth it! 🕊️

We are estimating that what you are watching is the second of 5 phases. I'll summarize them now and explain to them more in detail as they come along ;3

1. Animatic: Previous post of this sequence 📜

2. Key Poses: This actual post 💃

3. Final 3D animation: The whole animation with the rig only (Next post!) 🤖

4. Polished animation: Where we'll do some crazy stuff, like adding lines to the inner part of the body, sculpting details on the model, and whatever the shots may require to make them look reeeeaaally good ✨

5. VFX, SFX, Edition: The final version of the shot with Emi's magic touch 📸🎧

This is just an estimate for now, though. Since it's a very different workflow, we are still figuring things out, but are really excited with how things are coming out.

Thank you very much for your patience on this. We are striving to resume the constant flow of updates and interaction with you all from now on since the process is finally allowing it.

Please stay tuned to see how we all bring this whole new scene together!

Lots of love 💛🦌
