Angry Birds Cinematic Trailer remake

[You Gotta be Joshing me]

I’ve been interested in animation for a long time now, so for practice, I’ve decided to remake the cinematic trailer for the original Angry Birds.

It’ll take a long while to make this, but so far I’ve made a short test animation for Red

 

Any compliments or complaints would be very helpful. I intend to upload the finished product to YouTube and Newgrounds

UPDATE 4/30/2020

My animation software crashed while working on Forman Pig, I lost the entire character. After some reconsideration, I figured it would be better to have 2 Minion pigs alongside Smoothcheeks(King Pig) rather than Forman pig and a Minion Pig.

I could have Ross(Freckled pig from Bad Piggies) and Mechanic Pig appear instead, better representing the Bad Piggies, but I haven’t decided yet.

UPDATE 5/2/2020

I’ve finished all the character rigs and plan to move on to creating a rough animation soon.

UPDATE 5/5/2020

Restructuring workflow as I was unhappy with the way things were going.

UPDATE 5/6/2020

I’ve started coming up with new designs for all the characters, starting with Red:

None of this is final, My goal is to look like some kind of happy medium between the designs in Toons, Classic, and the Mighty Eagle Trailer.

UPDATE 5/11/2020

I intend to keep most of the designs under wraps for now, but I have been finding ways to implement my style into these.

I decided to remove the eye whites from Jay/Jake/Jim and I can’t get over how cute he is!

UPDATE 5/21/2020

Character designs have been more or less finished by now and pre-drawn body parts (mouths, rotations) are all complete (not sure if rig is the right word to use as I’m not using any bone tools)

Begun work on a rough animation, where anything drawn beforehand will be animated and the keyframes will be drawn for anything that doesn’t use the pre-made assets.

UPDATE 5/29/2020

Things have kinda taken a backseat now mostly due to life and burnout.

I intend to continue working on the AB cinematic trailer remake, I can’t give a proper release as it’s too early to tell (currently about 12 seconds have been made into rough animation).

I’ve always intended for this to be a learning experience for me, as I’ve yet to make anything on this scale without heavy use of outsourced assets such as sprites.

ABCTR is currently a low priority for me, and will only get lower if more and more technical or personal issues arise.

UPDATE 6/22/2020

I’ve lost all motivation to work on this. I won’t name any reasons in particular but you can see what was finished here: https://youtu.be/B9s8KvpNOCs

Ok, so I watched the video, and I keep asking, “why would you abandon this project!!”
