Final Characters

Here are some screen shots of the finished characters for you to see.
I will be using 1 instance of the Lion and 3 of the Bull.


Titles and Credits

For my short animation, I have considered Titles and Credits at the beginning and end.
I don't really want the titles to take away too much from the animation itself, so I have chosen to keep all titles short and sweet.

In addition to this, I have decided to overlay text for each scene, as if the characters were speaking in a silent movie!

Rendering...

Unfortunately I think I have made the mistake of trying to work from home on my home computer. And by doing this, my render's are taking forever. Its probably just the RAM in the system getting clogged up.
Luckily enough the render's are working eventually, but just taking a bit longer than usual!

The story so far...

Right now, all the characters and the environment are finished. Now to start animating. The first of the tasks is to create all the expressions for the characters, for instance, the Lions bite.
After creating the expressions, I then need to make the characters move around the scene. As I have chosen to create my characters as simple head designs, their method of movement will be bouncing.
