As you can see, my animation is getting better, but is far from perfect. The movements are often coming too late, making the audio seem off... which it's not. I LOVE when she rolls her eyes when she says "Door to Door" but the first 10 seconds it looks like the audio isn't matching. Mouth choices aren't great yet combined with movements that are starting into the words that are the emphasis words and not before. The movement should crescendo when the audio for the word crescendos. 

The Vixen's Cauldron Now up to view!!!

I finished my next piece just in time to premiere it on October 1st! I hope you enjoy it! I want her to be a recurring character. The first of a few. Her 3D printed parts worked great! Blinking is still a bit of a pain, but far superior to sticking clay onto an eye. Her eyes worked PERFECTLY!!! I just had to print them a little bit smaller than I originally planned to get the eyelids to fit as well. The hair was from a huge pony toy. Luckily they had one with silver hair. Even with the fan turned on, it was never a problem. I got better with animating her as I went on. This is the second take that I had done. Each take took 8 hours from start to finish. I couldn't bring myself to do a third take. I really should have though. This animation is the best I've done so far, but it's still only close to being good. 

I'm going to do a short Halloween message with her next and post that on the 26th, hopefully. It shouldn't be too hard. I'm going to use the same set and the same lighting. It should just be a matter of writing and recording dialogue, assigning the face set to it, then filming it in a take or two.

I'm not sure if anyone goes to this blog anymore. If you do, please comment! I'm considering taking it down due to lack of interest. 

Thanks!
