The Titles Are Now Rolling!

So here is the beginning of the film . . . made at the end. It has a Terminator 2 / T1000 feel, but I like the humour of it all the same. I had planned to have a comic book bomb fall from the sky to take out the middle man, to coin a phrase. I later scrapped the idea as I couldn't get the explosion right.

Old Man Walk

This was an observational test of an old pimp on youtube.com. I couldn't finish it so I had him melt. Awesome.

Ouch Test 4

Adapted to fit in with my second lip synchronising test.

Ouch Test 3

At last, a new form of walking, the strut! I think this guy deserves the hit.

Pushing Boulder

Another charcter puninshment, this time in the shape of a huge boulder. It will be adapted to fit into the film narrative.

Lip Sync 2nd Test

Lip syncronising - take 2. Works a bit better when the head is moving and reacting.

Space Hopper

The Space Hopper, also known as the bouncing ball. The most time consuming element here was the bouncer himself.

Lip Sync Test

Today resulted in my first practice at lip synchronising, unfortunately the wav. file seems to have been corrupted so it sounds quiet and awful. Still . . . 'let God sort 'em out'.

Throwing Test 2

Slight adaptation to the throw, an attempt to turn the throw into a cycle.

Throwing Test

My attempt at an observational test, watching a video of somebody throwing a ball.

Ouch Test 2

Here we go again, new test, same trick. Except this time, he recovers . . . kind of.

The Ouch Test

This is my first attempt at hitting a character in the back of the head with a ball.

It's main test properties evolved from a walk cycle into a bouncing ball, including his head.
