The Manatee Project- How's it Going?

Well not bad. like with the lip sync it is in a stage where tweaks are needed to be made. The biggest chunks are done and it just needs to be tidyed up a bit. A few tweaks that need to be sorted is the shadows in some areas. Due to not all the images were rendered out and a few tweaks with the masking i did.

Also the scene i animated when the manatee first enters. He was supposed to go around the bush. Which is how i animated it. But some how when i was matching up the character with the the video in combustion the videos weren't matching and the manatee was going through the middle of the bush. So because i could make it so the manatee goes around the bush due to how that scene starts. I decided to move my scene a little more to the left so curves just missing the bush.

Then it should be a matter of whacking the soundtrack we have made to it and adding credits and titles. I think also once it gets to that stage of adding sound in Premiere i may tweak the contrast setting a little on the whole movie.
But here is a rendered rough edit no sound of the floating manatee project.

People involved in the project include:

Nicki Thornton - Lighting,animator, co. Camerawoman

Caitlin Powell-modelling, rigging, texturing, actress ,animator, as well as co. post production work, with me on sound and editing.

Lou Clarke-animator, and co post production work on sound.

(If i have missed stuff out I'm sure they will let me know & apologies)
