Video_Test#



I fixed up the camera angle, the girl is fixed in the last 3 scenes but not the first 2, at the moment she suddenly jumps between poses so that needs to be fixed.

Weak Poses



This just shows the princess in a weak state, Punchy carrying her over his shoulder shows his physical advantage over her, I took that from Shrek one when he is carrying princess Fiona over his shoulder against her will.

Video_Test_2



13th October
This one is much better than the first animation in my opinion. I stuck in a whole scene at the start just to show punchy getting angry. The end is probably still a tad to fast, my main issue now is that I havn't animated the girl in the background, I'm thinking about just making her legs swing, when the key hits the cage she gets a shock and kinda falls back abit.

14th October
I ran the video by a few people who pointed out a great array of technical and asthetical issues with it. I'll just list them in order of importance.

1. Character Issue: The girl in the back does not currently suit the princess I described.

Fix, I'll fix this by making her sit up in her cage, she'll be quietly attempting to pick the lock in the background, then when the key hits she'll get a surprise or something.

2. Camera Issue: When Punchy pulls back his hand to slap the cup, his fingers need to flex back, also instead of zooming the camera towards the hand making it look jerky and a not so nice, I'll cut it to an angle behind his shoulder and the hand will come towards the camera, then the camera will follow the hand as he swipes the cups. I also have to fix the timing so that it feels more aggressive.

3. Wrists Issues: The wrists were a common problem in a most people's feedback, this is just a problem throughout the whole movie on all the characters, I just have to go through and fix them all up a bit.
