I added the removal of the apron. It's just blocked in though. I'll clean up MY clean up today hehe.

Here it is.

It's very clear what's happening in that sequence.

Looks good. My only comment would be to have him "fly away " a little faster after grabbing the apron. It looks a little slow right now. Great job!

Excellent suggenstion! Thank you.

I adjusted Tin Owls flight path and added facial expressions. I had an interesting challenge though. To remove the apron I had to create an apron rig that allowed me to remove the apron from the back. The problem with doing this is Tin Owl is using my apron rig instead of the apron that is used in the next shot so I had to switch them some how without showing the change.

He needed to be carrying the apron by the front center of the apron itself as opposed to carrying it from the looped end in the back. I was going to try to show the switch from Tin Owl holding on to the looped end of my apron to the middle top of the apron used in the next shot by having Tin Owl sorta flip the apron in the air and doing the switch. After a lot of thought about what that would require, I came up with a quicker and more simple solution.

The main thing I'm concerned with is I'm not sure if I'm giving enough anticipation leading up to the switch.

I have to clean up the apron action. It looks bad. I don't have any experience with cloth so I tried to animate the cloth by hand. It needs work.

Finally, I haven't cleaned up Mrs. Yoop's animation yet.

All suggestions would be greatly appreciate.

That's coming on well. Yoops expressions and general cleanup will really make it clear what's happening. Good work.

Thanks Ken,

I'm working on Mrs. Yoop now.

OK I've taken this about as far as my current skill level can handle. I added offsets, anticipation, overlap, etc. and Yoop's facial expressions.

That's good enough to be going on with. Well done. One thing that stands out is his wing going through her butt when opening the non existent ribbon.

I was going to add an overlapping animation to the action flap to fix this but I forgot to.

That is a nice looking shot. The camera cut works well too.

Thank you
