Animation & Rendering Issues

After animating the A, the rest of the group continued worked on animating the other three letters while I moved onto creating shots for the final scene of all four characters performing together.


I placed all four characters on the stage, forming a band. I created a drumset for the C, which would take the place of the turntables, to give it more of a 'band' feel. We arranged the letters so that they formed the initials 'YMCA' and added in lights and camera angles once more.

I also applied the cameras and lighting for the scene of the C on it's own, making the camera zoom in and out rapidly so that it would fit with the dance atmosphere, and the animation that Sam had applied to the letter itself.

One problem that we encountered is that the Hair and Fur modifier used on the crowd members and the Punky Y character caused the rendering to take a lot longer. At the moment we are intending to try and keep the hair if we have time, but it may have to be cut if we run out of time.
