I finished up animating a background runner and started another. Each runner involved creating about 28 drawings. Each runner also has multiple layers for paint and separate layers for arm swings. In this shot you can see a light blue outline of one of the runners. I use the identical poses to figure out how the runner gets smaller in the distance. I then have to redraw the keys to orient the pose to the perspective.
I will be teaching a virtual animation course this week and my students will likely get to see this scene develop in real time. I have specific animation assignments that teach each of the 12 animation principles, but once I have finished demonstrating the assignment I will likely head over to this scene and work on it while the students work on their animations.
There is a rare possibility that I will finally start animating one of the Minotaurs today. I suspect I will add a camera move as well which is zoomed in down the street to start and pulls back as the crowd rushed towards the camera. A whole lot of work remains to be done.
