First off, apologies for not updating my blog in over a month. The past few weeks I've had several technical issues that have meant my piece only ever looked half done. I didn't feel there was much point in showing you something that was half smoothed half not and so on, so I've held off posting this until now, when it's at a point I'm happy with.
I've worked on this piece for I would estimate nearly 40 hours this week. I did an 18 hour stint on Sunday alone! It was a lot of work. I've had 10 weeks to do this piece and it is around 11 seconds long; next class we're starting preproduction on our short movie which will be about a minute long, then we have the 12 weeks to actually animate it in the following class. An interesting point is that a professional animator working on a feature film, doing a 50 hour week would do roughly.... 2 minutes a year. That gives you some idea of the amount of work I have ahead of me!
I'm pretty happy with this piece now. I feel like I've definitely made progress from my previous shot. This was my first acting shot where I had involved the whole body (if you remember my previous ones, they were behind a bar which halves the work you have to do, I purposely wanted to challenge myself on this one). It's not perfect and I still need to get the weight working right, but I'm pleased with it.
I've got a couple of weeks off now, before I get full-swing into pre-production, involving various topics such as sound production, character design, story development and storyboarding. Really looking forward to it!
Let me know what you think of my final piece as always! I do appreciate the comments I get about my stuff!

Since it's Not Real ™, it can be whoever you want it to be. I'm tempted to go with a girl and even put some hair on her... I also need to get around to drawing some clothes on them. Maybe a little project for tomorrow 
I'll do a proper render of it too 
Will be looking forward to your new project
