Frank's Texture Experimentation and Skinning of Torso

Experimentation with static and high contrast

Ella UV Map Tweaks

The revised UV maps for the revised geometry

A Flatter Frank

The surface shaders are coming in nicely, I think....

Frank's Hand-Wing Improvement

Frank's Surface Shader Progess

The 3D model is inching towards the 2D look of the pre-production drawings. More defining lines are to be added to the eyes and the next step is the rest of the body.

Frank's Eyes

Jordan and Alan both suggested that in order to achieve the 2D look of my pre-production drawings in the 3D models, I could use separate eyes with surface shaders on them and use a lattice deformer to make them more ovoid.
This is me familiarizing myself with the process of the eye rig.

Smoothing Over Frank's Geometry

Some More Era Research

It's the rhythm, music and style of this video that I want to emulate. The subjects also have personalities that I would like Frank and Ella to embody.

Animatic Version 8

Thank you to Phil for this edit! The story flows much better now and the animation is quicker in pace.There are no more dull moments where the film drags on.
