Gobby the thingamajig

So now that I have finished my first year, and the staff do not want us to leave yet, they have set a challenge for us. They want us to create a short 30 second animation.... in 72 hours.

WHAT!?!?!?!?!

Seems like a huge task after the work we had just completed yesterday, but as Daryl keeps saying.. no rest  for the wicked


but I knew this was coming and had an idea in mind, I thought about John K and how the cartoons he worked on mostly went in for the cheap. They basically spent the most attention to layout in characters poses and used limited animation to get to the next. Which reduces the cost of inbetweening and gets the animated product out quicker.


As disturbing as that was, they used a lot cheats like repeating things and most focusing on key drawings.

which is similar to what I wish to do.

Here's Gobby the Thingamajig, the star of the little film I'm working on, and yer he is gonna be quite similar to a crazy john k character.

So the story goes, he jumps on to the screen and eats a sandwhich, then vomits at the screen. Because he sandwhich looks like this!

See ya friday folks!
