Frame time division:

This is the list of the rendered frames that each of us were responsible for. This list includes the full number of animated frames each of us submitted for the final. In addition, I merged the other team member's animations into a final unified layout, created cameras(every angle/movement except in Tiki Climb), rendered, and edited the project together in it's final stages. Much of my animation relies on camera movent and setting up the story, while Jon covered the majority of the character animation and did a great job on the sword fighting. Paul had surgery on Thursday before the final was due and wasn't able to complete the ending, Jon has animated a replacement and it will be edited together with music and uploaded again.

The version that I turned in is now on Google Video, I'm still waiting for Jon's final stab animation so I can add that to the latest version with music.

Updated shot of the bar, the seats and lampshades look better with turbosmoothing. Need a texture for tiki, plus a material for the walls.

I've edited about 14 seconds worth of animatic together, I need some stuff from you guys this week. Paul, I need the bar with the bottles and glasses in their places. Jon, I was gonna ask for your help with the choreo-either animate the sword fights in the animatic that I can work from, or to do the start/end positions that I can fill in.

Aww yeah, getting the sword into his hand was like landing a shuttle on a space station.

*kshhhht*

Houston we've got a visual, over

I like the coasters and mats scattered around on this bar. The wood is also a good color, and the brass pipes are done nicely. Might give you a few ideas, Paul.
