I realized a while ago that I jumped headfirst into this with only a vague idea of where I was going, which may work for some people, but I think I really ended up mostly spinning my wheels. So today I completely storyboarded the whole animation and now I have something concrete to follow. Here's the location of the short so far. No city anymore. I'm going to have to do a rigging tutorial or two before I get the car and robot guy properly rigged. If there's anything I learned from a previous short animation, it's that an improperly rigged character makes the animation wayyy painful. But my goal for tonight is to accurately recreate an electron micrograph with pencil and paper.
