WALKER!
Now this looks like Walker. I played around with the old Maya skin and put him in some different expressions. Tom and I make a good duo...like smokey and the bandit!

Walker Update
Paul: ...
Louis knows, I told him about a week earlier... but things have not improved. I'm having troubles at the moment.
Whatever you need to say to me; get it done tomorrow. I'm not happy about my condition either

new shot sequance
Hi guys, this is the new lightning sequence. The bolt comes through the roof, and strikes the grabber. The lightning zaps into the pirates and then into the lights. Lighting up the scene. The guard then stops being electrocuted and twitches.
I want the lightning to travel through the lights across the roof. I've yet to figure it out, but I'm sure J.B will tell me!

NEW SHOTS
Howdy yal! Here's a couple more animatic shots. this is when the guard backs out the doors of the office to drive to the display. The other shot is the guard getting shocked, yeah that one was kind of fun.

It's alive! IT'S ALIVE!
I had a good chat with Jared today which really helped. He said that the main focal section on the film should be the part where the pirates come to life. Our main priority is to figure out how to get the 'pull-out' effect. Neil and I are working on that for the moment. Jared also said we should play up the slight horror aspect of the film, y'know he is in the market, by himself at night. Jared and I discussed how we could have a bit of thunder and lightning to get some mood. This means we can have a few funny jumps in the begining and some interesting angles and lighting to show how some interesting shadows. I researched some of my old favourite horror films, Boris Karloff's Mummy and Frankenstein movies, and Lucio Fulci's Zombie movies.
I liked the Frankenstein way of things so. as the guard reaches for the cereal with his grabber, he is struck by lightning, zapping the cereal and the cut out's. But we need to find some good lightning effects!

Tip your hat!
Hidey Ho Neighbourinos! Tom handed me his breadbeard model as so I can dress him up a bit. First thing I did was create a neck. It was pretty simple as you are not going to see it due to his hair and beard. The second thing I did was create the belt buckle. I created a cylinder and mishapped it. I added some more vertexes to create a rim around the belt. I then used another cylinder to create the skull. Sam and Dan helped me create the eye wholes using the boling tool.

The New Flesh!
In the morning. The lovely Alec Smith showed me an example o maya's instant skin. It is a texture that is supposed to react to light like skin. So, I decided to test it out on Tom's Breadbeard model. I spent a little time messing around with it and these are the results. The black one was the first attempt and the grey one was the second. The originals looked really wax like, so i decided to run an occlusion layer over them. This created a bit more contrast and grain but it still needs some tweaking. Tom and I were discussing that we need the darks a little darker and the lights a little lighter. The whole thing needs to look a lot morecartoony.
