Today I made some more planets and fire, I have decided I will animate at home, as it will be a more controlled environment and I will have lots more time to do it, meaning I can do it at a better quality, not to mention the better quality camera and lighting I will be able to have.

After I have animated, I plan to go into after effects and add in lasers and stars into the background, as well as maybe a few other things I may think of at the time.

I am almost at production stages now, I have finished making the set and the cutouts, I only have a few more fires to make.

I believe I will be animating at home, as I will have more time and more control over the lighting, as well as a higher quality camera.

Here are the things I have made:

Lip Sync Practice

Today we were asked to practice some lip sync, and dope sheets, I used a dope sheet to map out a character saying the word "Elephant" bud sadly we had issues getting the sound to work and didn't get it in before time ran out, so here is the silent version, luckily, when animating a left the letters in so you can see what letter he is saying at what time.

I got confused while animating so I ended up making the letters go on for too many frames, because of this it moves far too slowly and does not really create any kind of animated effect. But at least I learned from my mistake. Yay.

Character Creation

Here are some of the pieces I have created to use in my animation over the past 2 weeks in lesson.

 The pins are to rotate the loose parts easily and to create a style.

 This will be my tentecle cloud monster, inspired by "The beast with a billion backs" He is supposed to be bigger than the screen.

 Fight title screen and the bomb that will blow the monster up.

And finally a planet that will be in the background.
