Quick Update!

I've been a bit swamped with Uni work atm (Last deadline!), so i've had very little time to work on this project.

I have however realised how difficult it's going to be!

I've been reading a frame by frame animation book, and it's dawned on me what a complex process it is and just how long it takes. This is something that I really want to do though, so although it may take some (alot) of time to complete, I will get there!!

Reading it has made me realised though how in CGI you lose creativity. When animating on software I dont think immediately think, 'now how can i give this walk character, individuality and a personality' I just make it walk to facilitate it moving. Therefore, I really think this project is really going to aid my creativity a great deal.

I already have thoughts around how I want the one who gets run over to walk. To walk out into a busy road without looking you must be pretty stupid, therefore I'm going to give him a really goofy, stupid walk and actions. And the other, I want to be over acted and excited.

I have a hell of a lot of development to do!!

Tasks for the next week or two are to continue reading the book, and if i get time sketch up some storyboards and redesign my characters :)
