Nearly finished.

Due to university responsibilities the last part of the production has been slowed a little. This project is now partly in post-production, and the first visual edit with post should be finished in the next few days. Audio will be added after the visuals in post.

Backgrounds

Heres an image showing most of the elements I will be using for the backgrounds.

This is not a full background, but shows most of the elements that will be used to create my backgrounds. For the long shot I will look at adding more detail such as benches / bins / lights when all of the important elements have been brought together.

Early test render

Here is an early test render with all basic sequences in place. Cleanup is mainly incomplete but has been started on most scenes.
I am still confident that the project is moving along at an appropriate speed.

The low quality export is just to allow high upload speeds.

First Draft walking shot

Here is a first render before any cleanup of the initial walking shot.
I am happy with the weight in the arms and the natural stride kept through rotoscoping. The background is merely for the test render.

Video Update

heres a video update of the work ive completed so far on the video. I have rendered at a low quality.
The cleanup for the different elements takes time but I still think that I will be able to achieve a good finish in the next couple of weeks.

Colour Palette

Here is the colour palette I have been using for the two characters.

I have tried not to integrate too many colours or bright overpowering tones.

headshapes are ready

at last i have created some headshapes I am fairly happy with.

These will be the base for the heads / faces on the victim character. As the mouth and eyes may need animating I will be adding them in seperate layers.
