Hi everyone! 🧡
I've been pushing hard on finishing the current animation project and I wanted to show you some pre-rendered versions of some of the new scenes!
Chance looks around, sensing how he might have to get a little bigger to match the taller buildings around him. It's funny how I decided to add the birds last minute, but now they're my favorite part of this shot😅 Sometimes you just have to step back and rethink what you're doing to see what the shot actually needs!
Believe it or not, the crowd simulation technique I worked out for the first part of the animation also comes very handy for flocks of birds! It's very fast and helpful to have them avoid the bigger-than-usual moving obstacle in their path!
I couldn't help myself.. I had to make him GROW! It might end up more subtle in the final animation, but I think it adds a lot of fun dynamics to have Chance start to enlarge as he walks through the city~ I feeling I'm not sure is shared by the crowd ;3
Simulating the shoes flying off was such a hilarious touch to me xD
Growth continues! And I just HAD to have a low perspective shot of what his paws are doing to the street below... He just seems blissfully unaware. Tsk, tsk, what a menace he is!
A shot I'm super proud of. It's simple but effective. Observer perspective often my favorite when it comes to size and growth. It's just emphasizes the size difference to an absurd degree. A simple stroll turns into an earthquake. Each apartment and office nearby turning to ruin with each step... It's a powerful visual in my mind heh.
I wanted to show you the rendered version in the header video of this post! It's rendered but unedited, so it will change slightly from what you're seeing here :)
I generally had a lot of fun destroying the street that Chance walks along! A lot of techniques used to create all the effects. I hope they all come together in a good way for you! Here's a visual of how the car simulation looks:
The bus especially was meant to be a hero shot! I'll try to find a good way to frame that for you, so we get a good shot of the impact! I was thinking maybe a street view where we look up at Chance as he travels? Let's see how we go! :3
For now, I have this side street visual of the shot, which I also quite like!
I had a lot of fun creating this impactful stomp walk along the street! Here's a few extra pictures of the destruction:
I'm just a couple of shots away from finishing and I'm working so hard to get it done for you soon. I'm also super excited to show you the ideas for the next animation after this one!
I can't tell you how much it means to me that you're here with me 🧡 I put all my time, effort, and passions into producing the best animations I can possibly do, for you ~ I hope the result will be worth the wait!
