City Sand: Yet another update

Every once and awhile I do stuff on this 30 second animation. I did a bunch of keyframes for the characters and the dust FX. 70% of the backgrounds are at a level I want them, but I always go back to improve them.

City Sand 30 second short

So i'm back at it again with City Sand (or City of Sand) with this super short animation. I don't know if I will do any of the actual animation, my goal is to complete all the backgrounds and probably some keys of the character. You can check out the rough backgrounds and the animatic down below.

CitySand shots

So i'v been working on some of these shots in C4D. namely shot 5 and 6 since they will be the most work intensive. My original thought with shot 5 was to have slow motion as the worm monster emerges.

I think it got out of hand during the boards, I though about doing a sweet camera move back and forth behind the character. Although this might be cool to do its probably unnecessary and kinda breaks my artwork.

Shot 6 is a bit simpler, at first I had a cut between the character running out of the hallway and him looking over the edge but then decided that combing them might make a better shot.

Anyways, comments and crits are always welcome.

Sand City, Animated project

I have really wanted to do an animated short, something about 30 seconds to 1 minute long. No real story, just visuals and animation. May need someone to do animation for me when the time comes but it will be awhile.
