Unfortunately I couldn't go any further with this as I only had a limited license period and I had no intention of taking out a subscription - Harmony is just too fully featured for my modest needs.Įarlier this year Reallusion released CrazyTalk Animator 3, a significant upgrade from 2 with a whole new way of creating characters quickly.
As part of that process I took my concept image of Ma-Rey and turned it into a short animation. Toward the end of 2016 I collaborated with the creators of Toon Boom Harmony to write a review on learning their software. That much has been storyboarded, completely.Īt that point life got in the way and the project was shelved. If you think of a Road Runner cartoon, this would be the character introduction, freeze frames, followed by Coyote's first failed attempt. It's not a complete script, more like just the first sequence. I've mentioned previously in this blog that I did write a script for my animated short. My plan was to do all the backgrounds using iClone so I wouldn't have to draw and color them myself - saving time.įinal character design with iClone, 3D background. The next day I fired up iClone to make a 3D background to put my final character design into. It didn't actually take me all that long to come up with a design I was happy with. I just wanted to create an original looking character that would suit the humor I was going for. With that thought in mind I gathered together a few images of Rey and set to work creating a character that kind of looked like her but getting an actual likeness wasn't critical. Since everyone was out looking for BB-8 and Rey was doing her best to make sure he didn't get caught, I thought that could be done in a humorous, Road Runner style parody. Seeing the little ball droid, BB-8 roll around at speed through the desert reminded me so much of the old WB Road Runner cartoons. Since I hadn't talked about my upcoming CrazyTalk Animator 3, G3, Desert Scavenger Character, in any great detail (and because finishing her is taking longer than anticipated) I thought you may be interested to look at the project in a little more detail.īack in March of 2016 I had this idea to create a Star Wars, The Force Awakens, parody animated short.
