Animation Lighthouse Shots

Also over the Easter I animated the lighthouse scene. I had a lot of trouble fitting in the light through the tube, but it looked really nice in the end. When animating I use tie downs, which are a rod and screw. But because the lighthouse's base was so thick I couldn't do that. so I painted a long flat piece of wood and screwed the character to the base of it, to keep her upright when she walked.

In the end I decided to do this scene on ones. This was really difficult because it took twice as long and I had to animate three things, as well as the light. This has been my biggest challenge so far.

This is one of the shots I did. It was quite tricky because of doing lip sync, especially because it is shot from the side where it's difficult to see the mouth.

Here are some photos of the scene.
