Primary Animation

I am not a animator by trade however in this project i have had to jump in to releive Samir of all the animation.
The arriving at bars animation is one i fully animated myself including primary and secondary animation.

Secondary Animation

This section shows the secondary animation i have been doing for Samir and Gary in there animations. The secondary i have been doing is the comb on the main chickens head, the eye blinks and some follow through on the limbs.

Working on Straining Animation

Samirs animation was a really good start but there were a few places that needed a bit of work. I started by adding the secondary animation on the comb then i went about adding more weight to the character especially when stretching for his strain. There is also a part when the chicken looks over his shoulder Samir had the neck completely twisted which really distorted the geometry so I changed it so there was more twist in the body itself. I continued to make tinny adjustments to the animation. Samir felt the adjustments has really improved the animation which is a real complement coming from the animator himself.

End Title Sequence(Work in progress)

I have been working on the end title credits which will consist of the names of the people in the group and there contributions to the project. We also using this time to explain alot more about character after the finale. Here are MY drawings that i have created that will be used in the end credits. The layout of the titles is undecided but we may go with names either side of each image appearing gradually so the viewer can take in the images but also the names aswell.




















Here is our chicken or should say cockerel chilling with the ladies. What a playa.

































The playboy bunny i have changed to resemble a chicken. This iamge will appear in the images.




















Samir helped define the the look of the images suggesting we go for a washy look. he image above he started and i finished. However the image above is not quite finsihed as a background is needed.

Secondary animation

We came up with a system whereby Samir does the core primary animation and then passes it on to me to do the secondary animation such as the blinks and the comb. This will hopefully enable Samir to focus more on the significant animation.
