The storyboards haven't changed much since my last post. What I have been doing since then is designing characters, recording dialogue with Byron Wagner and Kate Michaud, learning ToonBoom Animate Pro software, making model sheets and a Clyde Sculpey maquette, animating Percival, Clyde and the multiplane camera, and incorporating background art from Rhonda Conley into the scenes.
And as of today 7/10/13 I have the first 2 minutes of the film rough-animated including minor dialogue, all layouts and camera movements finished. The multi-layered backgrounds by Rhonda for this first two minutes are 90% completed, and are beautiful.
I'll add some of preliminary drawings to the blog one of these days. Until then, enjoy the first 2 minutes of "The Adventures of Baxter & Clyde" Episode 1, in progress:
