This might be the most complicated scene to animate in the film. I separated out all the characters in the painting and will animate each in turn. The background had to be touched up so that the buildings which were covered by characters in the foreground are now visible. The challenge in this scene is that the minotaurs and people run up the street and then turn the corner passing in front of the viewer.
Since everyone turns this will involve plenty of full animation. I decided to start with the smallest characters which are the people running on the sidelines to avoid the minotaurs like the running of the bulls in Spain. The first person I animated is barely visible in the illustration as he runs off screen.
The second person I animated was simpler but I am flailing his arms. I had to change the arm animation when I look at it with the other runner in the scene as well. I had to avoid the arm from appearing in front of the other runners face or belly. That became distracting.
There are about four other people in this sideline crowd and then I move on to the more challenging minotaurs. There is a good chance that the much larger minotaurs will cover some of this early animation. That leaves me the freedom to play and experiment.
I am teaching virtual classes for eight hours today, so there will be less progress made on the scene.
