Here is my animatic with finished animation for the most part. Ive gotten quite sick, and haven't quite finished the ending scene, and the opening, though the opening isnt as important. 

Current state of the project. 

Here is the animatic for the opening of Flopp. Its a little long and could use some trimming, but the animation is pretty much entirely spline-ed but I am still refining it.

Here is an updated shot list. I cut the ending where the Desktop opens up its drive and Flopp tries to get in. I didn't like it, it wasn't happy, and Its just more work to do. Anyways here's the new shot list, though its missing some of the importance marks, and all of the difficulty ones. Ill look for the complete one and It will be up by the end of today.

Here it is the first fully rendered shot of Flopp! Its Flopp's entrance onto the desk after hearing the cries of our lovely computer. I think it came out well, though I may play around more in after-effects to try to make the lighting more dramatic. The scene just gets too dark when I raise the contrast. I couldn't get the video to upload properly, so here is the link to view it on my Vimeo account. https://vimeo.com/90935789 

This is a very large post, but its some renders of the final models and texturing of Flopp and the desktop, and two demos of how they both move. I have some issues with Flopp still, as his outlines are coming off of his model when he rotates.

Here is my second version of my animatic for Flopp. I took out most of the original beginning and lengthened the confrontation between Flopp and the Hard drive. I also removed the mouse from the Desktop. Though I may add that back in, depending on how my workflow is going once I start animating.

Here are some updated photos of Flopp, with a more beaten-up model, and a dirty texture, though texturing is subject to change once I get a better handle on hand drawing them. I'm Currently working on texturing and rigging on all models, with rigging done already on the Desktop.

1st Draft Animatic:

Here are some preliminary shots of Flopp's Model, though his design is pretty much finished. No texturing or rigging yet.
