Personal Project 01

So I've decided to drop the original idea of having several scenes of the dog waiting, they where just too quick to get any understanding of any sort of story, especially with the limitations of my home made dog rig. So now I'm doing several characteristic loops as well as a slightly more dramatized version of the dog meets man animation. If only I knew what I knew now several months ago, things would have gone allot differently, but I've been saying that since I started at Uni, which is good, it means I'm progressing as an animator! here is sort of the new opening of the new dog meets man animation. it's only the first second, it ties into the next shot where he lifts up his head double checking the sound before taking off for the front door! I guess I'm finding out one of my strongest skills, is my story telling ability. It's the way I understand everything. Unfortunately it does get in the way sometimes when the teacher wants things in a strait animation style, like in the thumbnails, it becomes difficult to get my mind out of the story telling mode. I still don't have a full grasp of what he was asking, but I'm looking into it!
