Winning some, and losing some

With the recent visit of one of the professionals who judged our film pitches in September, he gave the films in production an in depth review because being someone less in contact with the films he could see what aspects of each story needed a do over before we all got further down the pipeline. This is the downside of being closely related to the films we're all working on, the closer you are to the story, the less you can see overall.

Unfortunately this meant the lovely 'Claws for Concern' film I am currently a part of had a butchering session and shots were cut which I had already done key frames for. However shaving a minute or so off the film means there's less to animate and more time can go into the post-production stage which everyone working on the film hopes we can get to.
Now that the animatic has had a complete overhaul and 3D layouts of some scenes have been created to ease the mind-boggling task of attempting to create accurate perspective in 2D, I've been like the fish factory in the film, churning out as many key-framed shots a week as possible so static images can become life on screen.

For 'Claws' in particular I've been able to start and finish a shot in a day/ day and a half bearing in mind these are just the key-frames with in-betweens and clean up still to do. I think our aim is to complete most if not, all the keys before we start in-betweening just in case there are more shots that can still be cut.
Below are the two shots I've completed recently, both of which follow one after the other in the animatic.
