OK, so the next step is animating. The shots I'm responsible for are the reaction face shots and the radical guitar playing. I re did the textures very quickly and it looks a lot nicer. Basically what I did was take photographic textures, put some opacity on the block colour textures I'd done already and place the photographic textures underneath. This means it retains the simple cartoony style but gets a slightly charming feel. He looks like a doll a bit. I did put a skin texture underneath the skin, but he looked terrifyingly creepy. I took that off.
So this is the animation I came up with. I animated to sound in the document and this is what I managed. It's not perfect but I'm pretty happy with it. Also I lit the scene. I basically used a two or three point lights in each scene, and an ambient in a couple of shots. I also used spot lighting in one shot.
For animating I recorded the guitarist while he played (me for the bad guitar parts, I'm the best at playing guitar badly). That way I knew pretty much where his fingers should be going. Of course it's not exact, because he's only only got three fingers. He wouldn't be able to play this part if he was real. You would be silly for thinking that. Although there was that one guitarist who played with three fingers...
Oh yeah. Not sure that's relevant, but Django is da bomb.
