I've been trying to figure out good ways to share these for a hot minute, and I thiiiiink I got it! Basically I've been working on a long-form Sonic TF animation story thing for literally years, and yeah. This is it! This particular shot is just part of the transition from the last scene, but whatevs, gonna post it this way anyway!
The best way to see the full animation is here, on Vimeo, since I can (and do!) update the full render regularly, rather than making a whole new submission. ^_^ It's a whole thing.
-----------------------------
ARRRRGH, I took so long on this! Basically, I was all, "Yay! Scene 8's done! Now I can move on to the next scene!" and forgot I ALSO wrote a ridiculous scene transition I literally described as: "The three exit the room via the same window. Pull back through room, through door, down hallway, up staircase, down another hallway (UGH. I'm gonna kill me for this), to Eggman walking in the direction we just were, talking to a dude in an army uniform, the Commander."
Yeah, we're NOT doing that involved of a pull-back, because quite frankly that was written with the intention to do most of the heavy lifting in 3D software I don't have the license for anymore, and I'm suuuper disinclined to teach myself a new 3D modelling and animating software right now. We're just gonna hafta live with NOT doing that.
ToonBoom Harmony has a very nice multi-plane camera tool that I'm super happy to abuse, so I utilized that again here (and assets from the first shot of the previous scene, cuz fuuuuuck), and I think I have a plan for how I'll set up a shorter pull-out, but yeah. Fuckin' WHOOPS.
