Today was very productive but difficult. Today we cleaned the room which was finally a big relief. The room which looked like a pig sty, now looks like a classroom which is really good. However, after we finished cleaning, I started to film again. But when I started to film, I had lots of trouble with my panda. I tried so many times to make it walk but I couldn't. It was really difficult.

For this past week in the begining of term, I have finally started to film my animation film, called Kung Fu Patchy. It has been very interesting. At the moment I have started to film scene 3. However I have ran into some difficulty with the characters. Patchy and Grunt are not walking properly but to fix this I have made the characters walk by moving their legs individually by one frame at a time. So at the moment my film is going as planned.

Characters

While I have been sick through the week, I have decided to make my characters:

Patchy

Sharpie

Grunt



Storyboards

Practice Clay Characters

Because I needed to start making the characters, I started to make them out of clay. For my first character of Patchy, I made an example Panda to test whether it moved or not and it worked very well:
