Animatic 37

Today I added the emu chick to the scene where the boy is in the tree, I found that the chick ends up not near where it is in the following close-up, however the size of the bag and chick is inaccurate in the first scene due to it being a chibi, it may be more accurate if it were proper, I may decide to change the background for the close-up scene later.

I drew and animated a caterpillar climbing up a branch in the tree, and added the scene in between the girl being shocked the the bag being lowered with the chick inside, and then another scene after that, of a sun against a mostly pink and white sky that fades in and out of the previous and next scenes. I'll still work on the timing. I now have 1 second to work with.

To animate the caterpillar I used a reference video and drew 8 main frames of the animation as nothing more than a thick green line, used the puppet warp tool to get the different shapes. Then after I was happy with it I added in the extra details (like eyes, and feet).
