More progress-ism

Partially tweened.  All I have to do is finish drawing all the unfinished frames...and still need to add that blink beforehand.  This is Turning her head away is Ayu's response to Ezri saying "hi there".  I think it's great, that's how I like to respond to friendly people.  I'm particularly proud of the non-twinned pigtail secondary motion.

Shot 01-04iii Ext. Frames

Very little has changed in this shot so far.  I've only tweaked existing frames.  I did was raise the hemline and shorten the jacket by a couple inches to match the rest of the film, and gave the skirt a little more of a bell shape, as well as a few fold lines.  I also made Ayu's head slightly bigger to make sure she's 6 heads tall.  Generally I hope more shots are sorta like this, because I'd like to preserve (in this case) as much of Tori's original coloring work as possible.  Of course I'm probably going to have to color this times 3 more frames since I'm about to inbetween this shot to bring it up from 3s (8 frames per second in the film) to 1s or my typical variable timing method (I think I had a professor say it's the "European timing system"?  Either way, typically most American animators prefer to hold a single frame rate per shot, but as I've seen in both Japanese and European Animation, sometimes this seems a little unnecessar

So I've gotten around to finishing up these two bits of animation.  Ayumi's head took an incredible amount of labor for the amount of animation that came out of it.  Ezri's bit of animation was a lot of fun though.  As usual the next step in these is to color and shade the frames.  I do have some background work to tweak for this shot too.  Despite the lack of broad movement, this was actually one of my most challenging bits of drafting/animation so far.  There are approximately 50 drawings for Ezri and 30 some for Ayumi (and looking at this I may have to go back and add more).  Hopefully I can be more efficient in the future.
