Jawa Wars - Work in Progress

My most recent project - some friends and I are doing a Star Wars Spoof. Fred came up with the concept, and recruited me and three more people to animate, do backgrounds and effects.

This is a work in progress, without backgrounds or effects yet. During the scene where the jawa is dancing, there are supposed to be lasers firing at him.

Also, the slow-motion is on purpose. Visually, that will make much more sense once the effects and audio are on there.

It's a yeti!

This is a project I worked on with Jose Marin (our manager and audio guy) Jason Barnes (our creative director), Tiffany Dailey, Andrew Souvannerath, and Kristian Kalaustro. We had 11 weeks to do it. If we'd had more time, there are definitely things I would have gone back and changed, but I feel like, all in all, it was time well spent. I hate the motion blur, though. Ugh, what an awful motion blur.

I did the mountain backgrounds, and the animation from 1:02 to 1:20. I also did the keyframe animation on the yeti, but I wasn't too happy with the in-betweens. Mainly, the motion blur. Ah well, what're you gonna do?
