Dan Dalli suggested to both myself and Guy to get a bit of help from the second years, this is to let us focus more heavily on the animation which is something both of us wish to do.
Because of this Joe Henson and Nick Georgeou are now on board! These two guys are talented and I know they'll have something good to bring to the table. They've each done an animation test to showcase their quality of work.

Once again great work guys! It's good to have you two both on the team.

The characters have names!
The characters all have names now!
Tate and Taren are now the names of the two baby chicks, with Tate being the more confident character and Taren being the more nervous character. Ernest is the name of the egg.
Of course this will not at all appear in the film and it's simply so that both myself and Guy can easily distinguish the characters.

10th April: Animation has started!
The animation for the shots has now started! I'm pretty happy with what I've done so far, and I picked an easy-ish shot to animate to begin with to ensure I could properly understand the rig that Clym has made, which so far seems to be mostly flawless so good job Clym! It's superbly brilliant.
The shot I animated was a simple walk up to the egg, which I've attached below! On the shotlist it's shot number 7! It looks a bit odd with the tree having not been imported yet, that and the slight camera movement which makes them look to be floating across the ground a bit, but I can assure you they're not!
It's good to get this show on the road!

Baby Bird and Egg poses!
Here are some quick poses I sketched out to prepare myself for getting the rig in the next few days! I must say I'm excited.

The colour script
Here's a basic colour script of the film!
It's nothing too major but it gives me the chance to see how the colours mesh together.
I will most likely change the tones up a bit before the final release of the film, especially as I'm slightly concerned as to how the two chicks will look against the sky in the background.
I'll either have a different time of day to reflect a colour difference OR I'll ensure the chicks do not clash with the sky by making either them or the sky lighter.

Logo rebranding
I've changed the logo a bit with the latest logo being in the bottom right hand corner!
It's nothing too major of a change but I'd thought I'd let the world know!

Clym's changes to the model
I must say it looks superb what he's created! A few bits have changed since the model sheet I created, but overall he's far exceeded how I imagined it would look. He'll soon start rigging which should be good!
Good job Clym!
Good job Clym!
