Ball and Tail FINAL

The final render of my Ball and Tail!

I really had fun animating this little guy. Feedback given earlier suggested I added a bit more of an ending to the scenario, so I gave the little guy a bit of a "Scrat" from Blue Sky Studios "Ice Age" moment, jumping into oblivion after his nut. I do like how this one turned out.

Ball and Tail updated

Finished animation, just needs an ambient occlusion pass adding.

Squirrel sketches

A little late to the party, but here's some groundwork sketches i did whilst working on the ball with tail exercise.

Ball with tail

The first dry run of my Ball with tail animation.



A couple of timing issues need to be addressed, particularly around the middle of the piece, when the ball spots the nut. Perhaps a little bit more reaction too. Also, something needs to happen when the ball reaches the nut, rather than just cutting the animation off.
