Jims Chicken






I've been given the new and improved chicken run cycle from Jim Bending (jamesbending.co.uk). This one has much better animation. I modelled the chicken for him as he was running low on time for the completion of his film. I'm going to show the wireframe, shaded and textured versions all running next to each other. I also figured out how to give the chickens shadows in After Effects. This was done by duplicating each chicken animation, adjusting the brightness/contrast until the animation silhouetted and then scaling them down to shadow proportions beneath each chicken.



I also modelled Jim a mouse, but sadly he didn't have time to include him in his film.
