Some more roughed-out tests

I'm working on my first pass of animation, building my symbol library up as I go - I started by concentration on cycles and actions that can be reused with a little tweaking, for more time-efficiency.

Here's a rough version of Baby's front 'flying' cycle, running down a scrolling background - just tracking his general route for the final version, and seeing how the lighting is working. 

Trying similar things here, but with his three-quarters cycle. The final scene will be rendered on several separate planes to get some good depth-of-field in.

A roughed-out version of the laser shooting into space scene, just trying out getting the timing and flow of the motion right. This was done straight ahead with the brush tool to get a more fluid, organic feel.

Early Animation Test

A rough (I won't say quick because it took surprisingly long to create this sad little scribble) test of animation for our next deadline. 

I may fiddle with it some more but for now I wanted to upload it here, keep a copy safe and all that.

The sounds are stock, as we haven't got to record our live sounds yet.

Although I do like the baby talk, maybe using stock for him would be smarter than trying to get a baby to read my script?

I added colour because I'm a masochist.

Panda Sketches

They look how I feel.
