The process i took in animating the RFC animation was to base it off a doodle in flash, expand an idea of the assignment and work it around the doodle.
I worked the animatic out and built the rough of the story
Giant ->people -> people in orb -> giant throws orb -> other giant helps them out of orb -> people walk off.
and got the basic structure for most of what was needed to accomplish the animation.
I then worked on fixing up parts of the animation, and coloring old sketches from the animatic to be used in the animation.
i spent a lot of time trying to make the movement of the giants arm not super terrible, but because of how i had built his arm, it was proving to be difficult. I experimented with the bone tool, but didn't figure it out and gave up.
I lost about 40 mins fo work to a crash when i was trying to save my animation. But got almost all of it back by using a SWF decompiler, when testing a movie, it creates a temp SWF file, so i was able to get what i had done back because i had been testing it.
I lost a lot of work hours from being sick, and didn't get the project done by the deadline, but a few days after.
