The Finished Animation

Here is my animation for my extended practice. I have pretty much finished all of the animation but due to bad timing caused by sets not being ready on time and other issues that were out of my control, I have not had a chance to clean up the rigging and fix the flickering lights. 

I need to reshoot a couple of shots, including the opening scene as when I placed this in, it didn't look right and I decided to just place a still there for now. I will be going back into this before the exhibition. I will also be masking out the rigging and fixing the flickering lights before the exhibition too. I have all the clean backplates ready for this. 

I had a lot of issues with this project. My puppets kept breaking as the wire in them was prone to snapping. Really I should have splashed out on the more expensive armatures, but as I was working to a budget, I thought these would do the job. They held up for a couple of weeks of animating but towards the end, many limbs became dislocated as the wire snapped and they were very difficult to fix. 

I also had some issues with camera equipment and other people that I was working with and these put me quite a bit behind schedule, as my schedule was pretty tight to begin with.

Anyway, here is my animation. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out overall.
