"Accuracy and transparency above all"

C-dub and I have been working on prepping the character files for the Pleaseeasaur animation. JP and Tommy have been sending us files (via clunkrobot.com ftp) for all the characters in the Pleaseeasaur Universe. We have to cut them up in Photoshop and make them animatable, with 4 mouth positions and a blink, oldshcool Sealab 2021 style. So we asked Ed Mundy if he'd be available to help us animate it, cuz that's like his wheelhouse. He said yes, he was very even tempered about the whole thing. I'm glad he's available. With him and Mack, we'll have a handle on quality animation.

Oh, yeah.
I asked JP and Tommy if they'd be comfortable with me writing about the animation in my stupid weblog, and they were totally cool with it. So I'm going to try to keep up with the progress here... Hi tech style every Monday and Thursday. That's when C-Dub and I have our P-Saur planning meetings, we map out what stuff we have to get done for the week. We even set up a google calender (get the rss feed here), that way anybody who joins the project can check the calendar and see what needs to get done. I'm in comunication with JP and Tommy via an Instant Messager program for questions and direction. It's kinda cool... like the fuuuutuuuure.

Here's what I'm doing right now:

Drawing Tough Guy arms. He'll also have an "extreme" pointing animation... Time permiting. Which brings us to one of the reasons I'm tracking this project... It's a lot of work. The more I stay organized, the better the end product will be. As Hugh McIntyre of the Hanso Foundation Board of Director's is known for saying:
"Accuracy and transparency above all."

True that.
