Keshaun vs Raffy animatic

Some parts are inbetweened from before, but basically I changed the fight sequence I was working on before and made Keshaun fight Alex’s sister instead, for story reasons
It was intended to be much longer (below) but Im cutting it down so that I can inbetween the majority of this and get a reel sorted within the next couple weeks for internship applications.

Original Rough Storyboard length
Raffy full body

Wow something finished for once – Had a go at Clean up on a more cartoony character, the Alligator I made in Seb from Rumpus’ workshop

Initial Lines
Final

Wasn’t sure if I needed to add any more effects to the piece but that’s something I’m going to play around with on my other characters which are a whole different style to this

Twirl Rough – TVPaint camera

Idea, just did key frames and sorted out the camera.
Sketch, added more in-betweens and info
Rough, figured out the characters proportions and animated secondary action on separate layers.

TD1

Thennn when I started doing tie downs I had an issue… cause I had animated the character on 2s and the camera was on 1s… the character was struggling to keep up with the camera.

Soooo I tried to move the character each frame but it looked weird, then I did some really rough extra frames… but animating this on 1s would take a very long time (Although it’d look really good)

TD CameraRender

So in the end I changed the camera parameters to be 12FPS and exported that then stretched the frames. There are some posing things to fix but they’re easily done.
