Character Animation 2010

I have now created a script for my animation, which should allow the use of many different emotions, as well as a list of objects needed and the visual style the animation should take.

Here Comes the Bear/Glass Half Full Bear

- Business Bear is walking to work in a tie with his briefcase and trilby

- He comes to a busy road with lots of traffic, he looks left and right. Scared
- Runs across the road, horns tooting as cars brake
- At the other side he's panting, exhausted

- Continues journey across bridge. Gust of wind blows his hat off!
- Hat lands in water, he runs to edge shocked
- Dejected bear walks off, head hung

- Bear walks towards office building
- From behind, Walks into office, it's empty!
- Bear looks puzzled
- Suddenly, everyone jumps up, "happy bithday Bear!" banner pops down from ceiling etc
- Bear smiles!
