I'm beginning to wonder whether I'll actually be able to complete my film on time.  I still have to shoot almost all my dialogue, plus find sound effects and edit.  Looks like I might not be able to make it.

Oh well, tomorrow is still a day...

So, guys, I've hit a little bit of a problem.
I'm animating Korange right now and I've got to the point where the faceless elf walks in, which I've animated from behind.  However, the next thing that happens is the Pumpkins Three spending about ten seconds poetically describing her.  The problem in this is that I can't actually properly show the Faceless Elf from the front until the end of the description where the Pumpkins Three finish off with her lacking of a face.
During these ten seconds I'm not exactly sure what I should animate.  I could do some fancy dolly shots of Korange, but that would probably feel boring.

Anyone have any ideas for it?  I need them.

I believe in you.

Also, motivational sounding music just came on in the other room wherein my mum has the radio on.

The days remaining are sufficient.  You do at least have an idea at this point.  That is good.

Amazing set you've got there!

Why can't you just show the Pumpkin's Three?

Extreme close-up dollies and pans, all at canted angles, of the Faceless Elf, but of every aspect of her other than her face (across torso, down arms, etc). You could make it really creepy, like this scene only more subtle about the facelessness thing, and generally better (I thought The Idiot's Lantern was one of the more naff episodes of the series, though still not as bad as Love and Monsters).

To break that up, you could also try some similar shots of the Pumpkins Three, but of their faces, to distinguish them from the figure being described. They'd also need to be quite animated (pun not intended) to show that they're speaking.

Hope some of this might help.

I stabbed myself in the finger with a 1.2mm diameter needle today at work. This may put me back a little animation wise, but I'm going to try to work through it.

rub some dirt on it and drink water. You'll be just fine.

First 3 seconds animated, except it's midday Wednesday over here, and I work all day Friday.

Yeah, I'm behind.

The new KB Videos coming soon.

Thanks, this means a lot to me.

I'm currently putting together all my lines in sequence, then going to animate the dialogue.  I also have animated a great shot that is probably my most technically complex (though still fairly easy to animate) which I hope is going to look amazing (though I fear I may have marred it with my clumsy inexperienced-animator hands).

How about a series of extreme close-ups that show the body parts of the Faceless Elf that the Pumpkins Three are talking about?  Or maybe a slow twisting pan all around her body as the Pumpkins are talking, which reveals her face (or non-face) just as the ten seconds are up.  Either way, I think some sort of camera movement that reveals her face at the end would be best.
