Ss2- Pre-Production update

 Took a trip to HobbyCraft today which is always an adventure to get there

Recycling Canimation armature and modifying.

 After Hobbycraft i took to the first armature with making sure he's smoother all around to make the cloths easier to fit on with measurements and then also movement looks better from moving the other one, so quickly made sure each arm was same thickness and then glued it in place.

rigging in place in the centre of the armature

Also while going along tightening areas on the armature and seeing what might be changed before carrying on, i was going to change the centre of the him for rigging purposes but then realised that the original is firmly in place and already has the gravity rigging available.

HobbyCraft Adventure 

First thing i realised was the list i had wasn't the greatest, still got a few things like paint and small sketchbook for notes bitty things but also came across this incredible textured looking wall paper which was exactly what i was interested in going for especially to give off the grittiness and urban look of the 1900's.

Ss1-Tie down rigging

Tie down rigging

Looking at rigging tie downs for my animation,my armature still needs adjustments which wont be as thick and heavy as the other and have an expressive like movement.

 These photos show the tie down technique, which I will be testing out tomorrow,leaving three blocks worth of space to be able to get under and move the tie downs,the set will be further away and the tie downs won't be shown on the animation by filming above the knee or hip.

One of the feet tied down.

Piece of wood sawn down to make layers blocked together to give enough space to fit hand under.

 Hopefully if this works i won't need to put holes all over my set and be able to green screen parts which  i keep in area of the floor, Also i have recently purchased a professional rig to be able to do jumps and keep my armature standing without having to put my set sideways to make the character jump or any other way.

Also until then tomorrow I will be trying to make my own temporary rig to connect to the back of one of my armature which il paint green so it'l be easier to get rid of the rigging.
