Editing

After days of trying to reduce the shadows on the green screen in the animation i have sadly had to just edit together clips that i could salvage which had the most green screen able to be keyed out in after effects. this has ruined the feel of the animation but with the moving backround working in these remaining clips at least it now looks like a short claymation if not a failed experiment. Very disapointing.

Problems

After finishing the animated background i have encountered problems when trying to key out the green screen on the animation to be replaced with the background. i have repeatedly tried to reshoot the claymation but the lighting has always been wrong. Also i have now ran out of time to finish the subway background in maya so i have decided to concentrate on fixing the keying problem and just use one background.

Background

Aswell as the background i have included moving smoke which i filmed in the dark and then keyed out the black in after effects and moving fire which i made in the same way. aswell as this i have created a collapsing ceiling and an exploding wall in maya.

finished animating

after using the white puppet to animate three minutes i will now create some effects to add to the background which i have decided will be an underground painting i posted at the start of the blogg and a maya scene based on another painting of a subway i posted.

Animation test

unfortunately because i hve spent most of the time designing and creating characters i will not have time to finish the wooden character so i will be only animating with the first white character that i created.
