Boy in the Forest.

These are test shots of the boy animated and placed
into the environment scenes. Not all of them perfect yet
but they were constructed merely to see how the boy
would look in the scene.

Below is a finished opening shot. I won't post every finished shot
but the short clip gives you the idea of how the film will finally
look.



These are the test shots that also incude the dog running in the
background.



Dog Animation Tests.

Recently redisigned the dog with a more simple look,
that wud make it easier to animate. From there added the
textures to suit my overall style. I'm happy with the dogs
appearance.

With texture.




Without Texture.


This is an attempt of the dog Running. Its not perfect and is
a bit jumpy in places. I haven't animated the head or tail moving
as I wanted to see how it would look assembled. Overall athough
it does not look perfect, I do quite like the stop-motion style it has.

Facial Animations.

These are a few close-up shots of the boy's face that I played
around with, to animated the facial expressions. The idea is
very simple animated movements, as I'm not a character
animator.
