Once the rigs were at a ready-enough stage, we began to follow our detailed production shotlist to work through the animation. Though our plan had been pushed down to only two weeks in which to complete the animation, even working on it every day it took four weeks - still quite a good time considering we had two people animating a one-minute film with three characters and lots of body mechanics.
Here are a couple of examples of how far our animation came over a month:
Initial blocking for the fight scene:
The finished fight scene:
Inbetweens for Simon trying to impress Loretta:
The finished shot:
You can see that as we animated the rigs were updated; they had textures and details added, as well as small fixes.
We are currently sorting out render settings, so next should be the finished film!
