Court Room Up Date

Decorated court room with the audience present.

Background Characters - The Cow

The Gingerbread man is a witness the current proceedings in the court room.

The Cow - from the Jack and the Beanstalk story.

Background Characters - Three Bears

The first of the characters for the audience are in place. The three bears are in place behind the Giant as they could be up next to plead there case against Goldielocks.

Im Back on Track

All three characters are now fully rigged and ready to animate. The Giant is in place in the court room ready for animation.

The judge has all her blend shapes ready for speach. So far everything for the judge is working without too many problems, the only real problem comes when trying to scale or move the judege into place, the main head scales or translates double to the rest of the body and controls.

Jack also has a few complications. When the mouth open the upper and lower lips appear to

be attacked, all the usual suspects for this problem has been eliminated. there are no veritcies attached and the skin weights for the upper and lower lips are as they should be with out any weights overlapping. Before I can go any further with Jack this problem needs to be fixed.

Character Renders - Judge

To meet the style of fairy tale, the charaters should all be of the same style. The Judge, based on the American law programme Judge Judy, should also be of the fairy tale world. The Judge is designed in the traditional style of a fairy tale witch, green skin, pointy nose, mole/walts etc.

Details still to be added.

Storyboard

The storyboard will follow the characters which are talking. The talking character will have the camera focused on them, the character may shift its weight or move its hands in relation to what they are saying.

In the opening the camera will fly in from a high position across the court room to the table of evidence.
