COVID Dystopia: Shot 8 Baby Monkey Animated

I finished animating the baby monkey yesterday in Callipeg. The toilet paper animation could be imported from the previous version of the scene. That strand of toilet paper used to wave in place, so I had to animate it moving as the hand rises. I also had to rotate a bit so it has some weight and drops with gravity.

I have about a dozen more monkeys to animate since they are fighting in a scrum below the baby monkey. I am teaching virtual art classes for eight hours today, so I likely will not finish any animation. My hope is to just get the key poses done on one of the monkeys.

The two foreground monkeys are just a held cell. However I animated the gun being raised. The two foreground monkeys disappear out of the shot rather fast since the camera pushes in towards the baby monkey.

I am animating on a flat version of the background but the final plan is to add depth to the store aisle. Rather than exporting all the monkeys on a single layer I will export then on separate layers so they can be stacked back in space in After Effects. I already have the camera move in place so the new animation will just have to replace the still layers I already have done.
