Post # 11: Short Film Progress

 Story Development:
     In the toy's attempts to grab someones attention he will be moving his arms around, trying to jump up a bit, but the weight of stuffing in his feet will prevent him from jumping very high at all. Also, the junk toy will throw another small plastic toy at the glass, which will then bounce back and hit him in the face, knocking him back down.

Research:

Post #10B: Short Film Production Progress

Story Development:
   Last Stuffed animal left in the claw machine, aside from a few random junk toys. He lays still as he sees reflections of people passing by, and starts to try moving. After finally moving some limbs a bit he manages to push himself up. He continues to see people moving by and tries to grab someones attention but is still fairly rigid. He manages to pick up one of the junk toys and starts throwing it at the glass. Having grabbed someones attention, he goes back to being still and waits as they attempt to pick him up. After failing, the people begin to move away, so instead he grabs their attention by moving. In doing this, they are very impressed by the toy and try to get him again. This time he clings on to the claw so that the does not get dropped.

Description: Will show a claw machine at beginning of story, and slowly pan down towards the bottom revealing the character. He tries to make his way up through the other stuffed dolls and animals towards the top to reach the claw. He makes it towards the top. He then tries to decide on how to make his escape - the claw, or by climbing the box.

Post #9: Model With Texture

Post #8: Project 2 Idea and Finished model

For my project 2, my main character is a flubber like creature that will be able to stretch his arms in certain ways via a broken hierarchy rig. This character will be walking and encounter a giant wall blocking his pathway. In order to overcome this and continue his walk, he will climb up a hill near by, grab on to two trees and fling himself with his arms over the wall. He will fly through the air but will slightly hit the wall as he flies, and fall to the ground on the other side of the wall.
