First 10 Seconds, more finalized...

So I have decided to take this ten seconds at a time, so hopefully I can be completely finished by Monday. After seeing this render, I have since made changes already, the mama's head does not move so suddenly and I added a subtle foot movement to the kittens when they perk up for the pie. Also the characters are smoothed out for these renders, looks a lot better in my opinion :)

Animation Draft - Still pretty rough, but getting there!

So I still have some issues I am dealing with in this animation, the ending still needs to be finalized. The kitten that still looks sad will be animated like the happy kitten. The ending is still blocked out, so I need to smooth that out. As for the beginning I need to fix the way the mama cat enters the scene to put the pie down, also I plan on emphasizing the similar movements the two kittens have. And overall there are a few little tweaks throughout the whole thing I need to correct, but I am getting there!

Animation (first 22 seconds) - extremely rough...

Obviously this is extremely low quality so it could be uploaded to the web. I still have two more shots to add on to the 22 seconds I have so far. I was concentrating on getting the key poses in, so I have yet to fix the curves. The only part I am unsure of at this point is when the kitten is climbing up the chair and the camera changes positions, I wasn't too sure if this confused the audience or not. I love the shot of the kitten climbing up so much that I would hate to change it, but I may have to so the audience can follow the story.

So from here the kitten will bring the whipped cream to the two other kittens, who are already by the pie (they may be carrying the pie together). The last shot will be a close up of the pie and you will see their little heads peaking out from the pie.
