The Gang

The Guard and Breadbeard were made by me, Patches and Walker the basic figure was made by Dean while I added detail.

Here is a test in which I applied a jiggle to Patches' hair so that when ever his head moves his hair will make a wavy movement.

Guard and Breadbeard

Scene 46: Duck!!!

This scene is where the guard is speeding down the aisle, looks behind him and sees Patches, who had been shot from a cannon flying towards him and ducks to avoid the little flying pirate.

At the moment this is merely just a block out. I will need to adjust the speeds and add some detail to the animation, thank you for input there Alec...

Scene 17-18: Zap...

Here is Scene 17-18 where the guard gets electrocuted by lightning, minus the lightning effect...

Scene 54: Sword Clash

Here is the first part of the scene whereby Breadbeard and the Guard will clash sword vs. claw after Breadbeard has landed on the front of his fatmobile. At the moment there has been no animation but the position is almost there...

The Guard...

Here it is, the guard in all his glory... so far. All that is left is to texture him and rig up his scooter. Special thanks to everyone involved in the process of making the guard...

Patches strikes a pose...

Heres Patches striking a pose during Scene 39 'passing the watermelon' scene...

Scene 39

Here i decided to have a go at doing scene 39 where Patches picks up the watermelon before he hands it to Walker...

Patches Animation Test

Animation test I did with the Patches rig. 45-60 minutes and focused largely on body action, a little on facial expression but not on finger movement...

Blogspot is currently being unkind and not uploading my footage so please click the link below to see the short clip on youtube...
