I rewrote the Intro, for 2 reasons: Since they grow up to be do-gooders it made better story sense to have Baxter do something chivalrous for Clyde when they meet, rather than merely applaud his amazing powers. Now Baxter sees a hungry cat ready to pounce on Clyde and he sacrifices his rattle by throwing it at the mailbox post (updated to mailbox 7/7/13) where it shatters and scares the cat away (I will show a "target" in his mind superimposed over the mailbox so there will be no mistaking that he is aiming for the mailbox, and not the cat. I love cats, even imaginary ones). I also thought that I had too much going on in the first draft (i.e. too many characters to animate!). The ending is still the same as before.
You're a maniac! Is this going to be 3D? 2D/3D combo?
ReplyDeleteWow, it's been 3 years since you commented and since I last looked at my blog. Pretty lame of me. But at least now I can say for sure that you are correct, Tom: Yup. I am a maniac. I'm using ToonBoom Animate pro which is a 2D program with a virtual 3D space for multilane camera moves.
