Passed out in the clearing

Ok, I have two choices here for the guy passed out in the clearing after the faeries do their magic POOF! thing. This would be a shot from above of the guy lying down. One is basically what I had in my animatic/storyboards, the other is a different position. I'm having a curiously difficult time choosing. So, I don't know how much people look at this blog, but any opinions would be appreciated. I think the first has a more elegant shape on screen, but the second is sillier.

Rough Animation

Here is some rough animation. I'll be putting up more later this week. I have yet to make changes like exaggerating motions and the like.

Here's a walk cycle for the cows both from the back and side.


This is from when the guy is riding the cow and he sees one of his herd wander off the road, so he stops playing and dismounts. I'm going to redo it, however. It's just not really the right motion.


This is after the guy gets off the cow. He's watching his cow that just walked off the road and putting his violin away.


Here the guy has just chased his cow into the woods and he hears some music, so he looks up.


That's all I've got for right now. I'll post this week's animation later this week.
