Monday

Today I finished of all my research for the animation unit then i went on to start my animation but I have changed my idea from what I did in my animatic. My new idea is two Gears of Was characers running up to eachother than getting into a chainsaw battle.
I think this task is going to take me a very long time to do as I have to cut every body part I want to move out.
