Yesterday I met four new students during six hours of online courses. I always enjoy the first courses since I get to discover the ambitions of new aspiring artists. After the classes I needed to relax, but I set up this shot in Procreate to start animating today.To set up a shot I isolate each character on their own level so I can animate each independently.
My plan is to animate the three agents who are running towards the virus. The two agents in the foreground will remain rock solid as held cells. They will save me from having to draw quite a few legs. My thought is that I would like these guys moving in slow motion but that means more drawings on ones. I have my work cut out for me.
The other agents will move only slightly. The agent with the mini machine gun will raise his gun a bit and the two police will lean into the virus ever so slightly. That animation will involve a lot less work. My iPad just informed me that I have been working on the film for 11 hours a day last week. Time to get back to it.
