Meeting up with partner to do drawings

Reseach on birds movement and idea

Am thinking of that having the bird wings as hands and have its normal legs as legs (claws)

Mouth

The beck mouth at the black birds arent the thing that I am thinking of. Its too long and big ruff style. want to make it a nice beck that is nice and small ish and having it look cute.

Working with new character

Chloe and I meet up together as we are doing the same scene as each other and to decide what our secondary character would look like and be.

We looked at type of birds and found some nice reference to go by with.
Since our main lion character is little chubby and short, we would like Laqueesha to be like a nice skinny long/tall bird (just like birds are)

Re-working on rigging

Since doing my rigging and weight painting really rushed at the end for the first part. I have went though the rigging process again and been getting so much fatal errors which causes my file to crash.
So I have had started the manual way of doing my rigging than using the 'set up machine'.

Making sure each joints are named and placed in the right place.

Workings problems

Texture with stone

With my design model, its more structured and still rigguard. having not full on gray stone but with some green moss on it showing the amount of time it could of been (Alive )

Instead of making the wings have layers and having much depth, the style would be stone so it would of have the carfted hard steps. But changed to smooth as because

paw making

FINAL paw making and sizing.

Just emphasising the paw a bit with slow heavy walking

Building

At the start of the building part of the claws / arm, tried putting a cyclender but than it didnt work out so changed and did the normal extrude of faces.

Next part/problem

Didnt do the right thing with the extruding so that it was uneven and wasnt working and had to find a way to fix it when working on the claws

Story section improvements

Picking up pieces of the broken plinth, realise what they have been fighting over is meaningless now

- They survey the extensive damage: panoramic view of the damage (statues in silhouette, looking into the scene)

- Suddenly the clock bell rings. Closeup of clock: at 9o’clock. They see the museum opening times on a noticeboard. (Close up) Suddenly realize that the museum will be opened in half an hours time

- Young statue panics, Stephen calms him down; takes him by the shoulders, shakes him?

- They look at each other > close up of their eyes > split view, and they nod > do a fistbump

- They set about cleaning up the room > and knows the layout of the museum better, and so he lifts off and gestures to the young statue to toss him the items to be put back into place.

- They begin to work together > young statue throwing stuff to stanley, Stanley putting it back into place (Scene: Vase/ painting etc. being picked up, then thrown through the air to Stephen, who catches it and replaces it. Follow the item through the air.)

- Time is up, everything is almost in place, (slow motion of the clock hands sliding into place), they are in position on the rubble pedestal

Improved Part of story

- They survey the extensive damage: panoramic view of the damage (statues in silhouette, looking into the scene)

- Suddenly the clock bell rings. Closeup of clock: at 9o’clock. They see the museum opening times on a noticeboard. (Close up) Suddenly realize that the museum will be opened in half an hours time

- Young statue wants to still fight but Stephen was calm; and turned around and headed to a corner of the room with the mess and started to pick up pieces.

- Young statue looked shock, to see Stanley not fighting with her and was on the process on cleaning up

- Young statue finally realized and tries to go beside Stanley to help.

- Young statue tries to put things away where stanley sees and help and guide.

- They begin to work together (Scene: Vase/ painting etc. pieces being picked up and put down on floor etc Silhouette)

- Time is up, everything is almost in place, but not perfect (slow motion of the clock hands sliding into place), Stanley tries to push young statue up the rubble pedestal OR stanley fly up to the rubble pedestal with Young statue in his arms and landed unstable.
