I modified some assets for specific use in a number of scenes.
These minimal alterations can change an expression from confused, to looking to another for assurance. It can also switch the parent stars expression from content to despondent.
Being able to create such small changes to the character, but end up with radically different emotions was something I had really strived to achieve throughout this project!

Over the past number of weeks I have been creating assets as each member needed them. These are the assets I’ve updated and created for myself and other members.
There’s over 24 individual meteors, not including those at the base of the monsters body.

Using the puppet tool I can create some pretty neat loops to bring different pieces of the animation to life. As the monster chargers, I can have him breathe and pulse.
Another piece of the animation.

We have decided to make a slight change to the animation. We are re introducing a scene that we originally cut in place of one involving the main characters and the constellation of Orion. This has been replaced by an additional scene on Earth involving the main characters waking a rooster early which in turn causes the humans on the farm to wake up in a large commotion.
It was decided that at this point the Orion sequence was too complex and didn’t add much to the story. This new sequence makes more sense in context and is very appealing visually.
More assets! Backs of heads and an art star for the site!

Here’s the last of the batch of expression.
