After having completed the ship, I want onto animating it. At first I found some trouble as whenever I had keyed a frames in, the propeller blades would come apart in the in-betweens and so I worked through the graph editor to give a smooth curve for the slowing down of the blades.
We had as a group initially decided to have a few shots of the gladiator and guards walking out of the ship through the back door but having no interior, we decided to not incorporate this and instead be economically smart and through the use of sound have the ship already landed with the gladiator already being walked out. This allowed me to focus on other secondary animation within the film for it to have a more natural feel and for it to come to life.
We wanted some other secondary animation in the hallway, in the same way we did in the main arena where the gladiator is lifted by the elevator, which I had worked on, but unfortunately we didn't include it as we were worried that the focus would have been lifted from the main character. We did not want too much going on in the hallway as our central focus was around the emotions of the gladiator.
Getting the timing right for the renders was a bit of an issue as me and mantas were changing a few shots in post production and taking some out to make the film times shorter and so we had to change the frames in which the animation would play in order for it to be seen in the shots we had in place.
Below is the animation for the drone in the hallway which we did not include. Please click the link:
