Copdog - Animation

After the rather sad "Dying" clip I wanted to do something a bit more fun and light.

- The rigs are: Koko for the dog, the alien creature from a DVD set @ CG Toolkit, the cops, cop car, rocket and set from Digital Tutors
- music is edited together from multiple tracks off the "Home Alone" score; I animated the whole thing first and then looked for music that would fit the action
- used Maya 9
- time spent on clip: 3 days (3x 10 hours days - spread out over a week or so with an hour here, an hour there and week-end work), and add about half a day to a day for planning (no reference, although sliding down that tube would have been awesome!! :) )
- inital blocking in linear keys for alien first, then dog, then background guys
- quicktime and vimeo version
