Animation




If I can get the costume to walk as convincingly as this sketch, I shall be very pleased. I think the profile's better than the front view.

The sketch is all my own handiwork, and doesn't it show?

  1. Draw a faun by hand, and scan it into a digital version.
  2. Draw over the lines in AutoCAD. I think this might be 'Rotoscoping.' Actually, that would be if I'd drawn over every frame. I only drew one image in CAD and then manipulated it by hand.
  3. Create a stick figure, and repeatedly animate that until it starts to look plausible.
  4. Add the body, head, limbs, fur.
  5. Draw each frame, colour them in, and assemble all frames in MS GIF animator.
