Update #3 Long Overdue

I've been forgetting that I even have this blog, but hopefully I'll be posting a lot more frequent here onwards. I've now entered a pseudo-production stage. I've spent the last week making a 3D-animatic (previs, which ever term you prefer) slash blocking out the keyposes of my animation.

I've chosen the rig I want to use, after downloading quite a few I decided on the Dee rig. It's the rig I learned how to lip-sync with, and the rig to this date that I feel the most comfortable doing facial animations with.
So far I'm just using the rig unaltered, so both characters look exactly the same, but eventually I will do some texture changes and perhaps add some props to differentiate the characters from one another.

The reason I won't call this stage blocking is because I haven't filmed proper reference videos yet, this is all done "by hand", improv. I'm planning on filming reference videos over the course of this week, so that I can have some proper blocking by next week.
