High atop the medieval battlements, a nightwatchman is impeded in his duty by the arrival of a pesky owlet.

Straight in with the Animation

Yeah, I know we are only in the preproduction phase of our final year films, but when you have a shiny new ProPlus armature arrive on your doorstep it's hard not to play with it.

As it is this test was done in haste with my new armature soon after I completed its lengthy construction (my hand is still sore from all that sawing).



This thing is miniature craftsmanship and moves so smoothly. I just hope I can do its superb articulation justice when it comes to animating with it for real, and not obscure its range of movement too drastically with the addition of the outer foam covering that will create the character's form. Already his torso is kinda hard to bend, and that is without clothing.
