Tomorrow is my last day, and I am not done animating yet. I am kind of panicking.
I've finished about half the animation now! So far it's roughly a minute long. Now I just have to build all the indoor sets and shoot them. The first of these two frames is a teleporter. Sorry it's a bit small this time.
Is the mod element visible enough here? I'm afraid the colours don't contrast well enough to show it up, but it is there. (The same structure is visible in this earlier shot, if that helps make it acceptable.)

If it's on the right hand side then I do see it.
Almost finished animation, and I've started editing just to see what this thing will look like.
It's crap. It's the crappiest thing since Mr Crap of Crapstone Village was walking home after taking a crap and accidentally fell into a sewer. I've been animating for seven bloody years, and this is how far I've come.
I wish I'd started editing sooner so I could have seen just how crap it is and changed my idea. But it's too late now...I'll just have to edit whilst crying....

I know the feeling. I feel like I should have developed further in that time.
Well yesterday I finished 2 2/3 scene's out of 7. I should get 2 - 3 done today. Hopefully.
World Champion in mod element subtlety.
Please tell me there isn't a third K hidden just off camera 
The frame itself looks great. What are you editing in? I don't recognise that program.
Well today I did another 8 shots bringing the total up to 12. I'll probably get another 2 shots done before bed (it's almost 9:30pm here), then build my scene 2 set and fireplace set. Suddenly things are looking a lot better.
Have to redo about three shots.
That looks great!
Watch it on YouTube!
What do you all think?
It looks good but there's like one frame where the foot goes back and then forward. I believe it might be easily rectified by deleting that frame.
Tahu!

Yeah, trying to find the frame, I think I saw the leg first go down and then move forward, making a sharp, jumpy movement.

I did notice that, and tried everything, but nothing seemed to make it work.
Made a lot of progress last night. Got about half of my shots done! All of the shots were easy to animate but took a lot of time to set up because each required a particular camera angle.
All I have left is a bunch of shots that all require the same set and camera angle, so I can animate all of them without moving much about. If I can get almost everything animated tonight, that leaves Friday night for any last-minute shoots and post production. BRAWL ends at 4 pm on Saturday for me, so I will have a decent chunk of time on Saturday to wrap things up, too.

Dont worry, there isn't. I'm not (that) stupid. The reason I have all of those K's there is because of an earlier shot on the same set that's supposed to look like a darkroom. I put a red filter on my lights to accomplish this affect. It looks great, but it caused all of the orange and red bricks to be very hard to distinguish from any other color bricks. So I put the obvious K's there to be absolute sure the mod was seen.
This is actually me animating in DragonFrame. This is the first non-test animation I've done with it, and it is working so great. People have hyped this program to me for years, and it definitely lives up to its reputation.

Does the red and orange transparent stand out well enough here? I think I washed it out too much with my lights.
