First pass and a little more of the witch putting her spell on Gloria. Some nice voice acting by Nancy.

Shameless self promotion:

Ken, if you were to split that chor into two halves an 25 seconds, that would leave a perfect place to insert "Bubblng Goo" if and when it were to be used.

Thanks.

Great animation, by the way.
KenH
Thanks. Good idea. We can split it in post if the song is going to be done. I don't know if any songs will be, but that would be the first I think.

We should have songs in SO. The only reason some didn't work in TWO was the lack of transitions into and out of them.

Found Bubbling Goo. I'll volunteer to animate this is it hasn't already been done....
KenH
Done.

Looks pretty good, Ken - (little hard to see with lighting as it is)

These comments may be too late:

Most noticeably, for me, it seems as if Gloria is tooo subtle, tooo quiet? no soundtrack for her? I would think she would be struggling and a squirming with either more defiance, fear, aversion, disgust at the goop, witch, situation - before getting her dose? I'm also not sure why she seems to go stiff right before/and after ingesting goo - is she supposed to be semi-paralyzed from the goo? If so, maybe a more dramatic transition would sell that. As it seems now, it feels like she wasn't animated.

I like how you animated the other characters

I agree with Nancy, Gloria's 'struggling' is way too floaty, it's as if she is already drugged and in a daze! A few short 'bursts' of intense struggling should work.

Cheers

No, unfortunately no sound track for Gloria. She is supposed to be sedated as she starts the incantation. Not sure how to do that without her looking inanimate. But I'll give it a go. Maybe if her body relaxes as she takes the goo.
I assume the floatiness is when Gloria is in front of the cauldron just before taking the goo. I'll try and snap that up a little. She's a bit of a pain to animate as the rope intersects her body.

Do you have a constraint between her and the rope?

Well, there is, but if I remember correctly, it is all in a separate "Gloria Roped" action. It is pretty difficult to do much with Gloria without the rope intersecting other geometry.

Good job, Ken! This is really looking great, guys!
