Started the miserable snow/rain/slush/ice hell ridden day by getting my characters onto different layers based on how i am going to make them move. For instance, I know I want each character to be able to bob his or her head when they speak, so I have to make sure that the head is on a different layer than the body and either in front of in back of the body layer depending on the character design. Likewise, I want each character to have some eye movement, so I have three or four different eyeball layers for each character that I can key in and out as necessary.
After that I got some backdrop images of Seaside Heights, Jersey Shore online to use. One of the boardwalk and one of the beach. I still haven't had a real chance to talk with Dan or Andre about what exactly it is I'm doing and since classes at Pratt started today and they both teach I'm not sure if I ever will. So I decided to just start animating something anyway and I placed three characters onto my backdrop and had them say a few lines and look at each other. The timing was awful but its a work in progess.
