PRODUCTION: Shot 21

This piece was something of a small challenge on how to move Pup up the stairs since a normal walk cycle cannot be used in this case. So we have Pups using only his front paws in moving forwards and leaving the tail limp. I'm really happy with this shot. After the rails are added it will give Pups a feel like he's look between the rails.

PRODUCTION: Shot 30

This is a shot of where Pups looks out of the window in Jenny's house and turns to look at her and then he follows her with his eyes. I'm generally happy with this piece, I had some help from Estelle with the smoothness of the animation.

PRODUCTION: Shot 22

This is the shot where Pups enters the rooms, it was quite difficult to pin point on how the seal was meant to enter the door. The general idea is for Pups to slide through the door frame and into the room. I'm rather happy with the outcome.

PRODUCTION: Shot 1 (Jumping background seal)

A quick small animation of a seal jumping out. It is going to be used as a background animation in shot 1. It was a quick unscheduled animation, and since I had some time in-between my scheduled animations I did it. I'm rather happy with how it looks like, even though this motion is described more to dolphin jumping, we thought that it will be quite nice to introduce the story.

PRODUCTION: Shot 19

This is another one of the longer shots. I have been restricted to specific frames since Stella is going to animate Jenny on this scene as well, therefore I have checked the frames with the animatic clip and tried to work with the restricted frame count. I'm rather happy with this shot.

PRODUCTION: Shot 7

A quick refreshing shot. This is when Pups peels off the cliff wall. I'm really happy with how his head moves, I'm not too sure about the last frame since it's supposed to be a smear frame. I haven't used smear frames before, however this shot has been edited since its been made and there are proper smear frames in place of this one, plus it has been cleaned up as well.

PRODUCTION: Shot 5

Another longer shot, this was decided by everyone that we all should concentrate on the longer and more difficult shot first so then we won't have to worry with the deadline. This next shot has determined Pup running towards the sea but getting scared again and retreating in a blind frenzy towards the cliffs but not seeing how close he is getting to them which resulted in smacking into the wall. For the parts where Pup is running in one spot we'll use a moving background as it will be easier. I'm really happy with this as I enjoy drawing running Pup since it's not something very usual.

PRODUCTION: Shot 3

This is the first shot from the film that I've been working on. It has Pup walking in the distance towards the sea and then then we see him backing away from it and curling up on his back. I'm rather happy with this after my feedback from Hilary on how the seal should walk I feel stronger in that area and after getting feedback from Stella about his scooting away, I'm overall happy with the progress as we are slowly one week ahead of the schedule.
