There is the most special charm to it and I wish it was a full blown series spanning many seasons. It spoke straight to my heart/soul/spirit. It gives me life. Thank you so much you don’t know how much it means to me. Especially through such difficult times. It makes me so so happy, a joy I can’t explain. Actually you know what, it makes me feel like home and captures the nostalgia and innocence of a time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737424502661190370.post-89442745030784691802013-03-23T03:43:42.258-07:002013-03-23T03:43:42.258-07:00Ha ha - you're guessing right about why I chan...Ha ha - you're guessing right about why I changed the Barman's nose... but I shall say no more for all those who haven't yet seen the film. Yes, doing animatic poses is a really good way of getting comfortable with a character: you're forced to put the character in poses that the story requires, rather than poses that just make a drawing look good. And once you're through with the animatic you've done so much of the thinking already that the animation phase is a joy rather than a struggle - you have your foundation (proportions, basic timing, etc) in place already and can just enjoy giving the performance. Try it out and see if it suits you - for me it's a great system!Neil Boylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06040458436858774869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737424502661190370.post-38418761553575117892013-03-22T18:36:00.122-07:002013-03-22T18:36:00.122-07:00every time I read a post I learn a little more and...every time I read a post I learn a little more and cant help but smile. The Barman's final look is definitely a bit more mature looking than the first-(a good contrast to Waly) his nose has a similar appearance to Rosies (was that on purpose?) I have yet to see your film and im guessing as to who Rosie ends up liking but Im I cant help but anticipate what happens. -- Wally is definitely uglier in the final version.<br /><br />The animatic poses! thanks for sharing that- its something I had never thought of when designing a character and makes obvious sense. I cant thank you enough man.Alex_Munguiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08015935008073734892noreply@blogger.com
