CU/color, Object Animation, Rigid Body Dynamics, and First Pass of Music

This week I made some more progress on the clean up and color, and began getting my hands dirty with Maya in attempt to get the characters interacting with the BG. I've found that it is a lot simpler than I imagined it would be, aside for Seq5_sc33, where the green monster runs into a table of books. Even though I did not have the chance to work in Maya that much, I am glad that I made my backgrounds 3D so that I can at least get more familiar with it. I want to get better at it in the future!

Jesse Doyle is super awesome and has been helping me set up rigid body dynamics to get the books falling off the table when the monster runs into it. It's looking really awesome right now, and I think with just a few more revisions it will be good to go. this will complete my very short session animating in Maya.

Still working on the outside BG look and the windows for the store. My plan is to model a road and add an image plane in the back. I will probably work on it during the spring break.

I also got my first pass of music from Derek Zhao! It's still rough, but I'm super pleased with the direction he's going in.
