Rainy Friday
April 14th, 2006
It’s raining today, and we just got back from an extended lunch at the Pizza Hut Bistro. We hadn’t planned on the extended lunch, but apparently the abacus at the Pizza Hut broke down as they were trying to split our check.
Anyway, we’ve got quite a few ideas for our section of the Six Monsters short. We’re thinking of having a bit with Gailard and Buck at the school water fountain. Buck walks up as Gailard is drinking at the water fountain.
Fur is already tough enough for a minute of CG, and water presents it’s own set of problems, but I think the gags we have in mind will be worth all the extra effort. We’ll be boarding this whole thing out in greater detail next week. Until then, try and stay dry.

yea, the extra effort is great;
but put it in the animation.
you can have sub-par effects, but a great animation/characters can counter balance.
and non-photo real water and fur is so much coller than photo-real stuff.
keep us posted.

Don’t worry. Our effects won’t be the sterile computer simulation type stuff. Another place where we are putting in a ton of effort are in the character rigs. Asymetrical poses, squash and stretch, overlapping action and such will be all over this thing. We’ll keep everyone up to date as we progress.
