SCENES 49-88-TEST 01.

Scene 49-88 challenged me to my limits, and i must say took the most time out of my planning schedule. The reasons being, was i wanted to animate the fish character from the moment he takes off from the ground and swims swiftly towards a pebble he's had fixated on. I had to consider most of the animation principles, such as the weight had to be right and distributed in the right position, adding anticipation just before he takes off and squash and stretch as he swims along. As you can see, the set of numbers and gap is quite big henced why this scene was ever so time consuming, ididnt want to split it because yet again it's just one big scene and less confusion, dilemma.
The purpose to this is scene leads straight after 48. Ill like to interpret this moment where Gilbert is trying to impress her so, an idea is struck, he could sculpt a reasonable sized pebble in a heart shape and present it to her, but still unashamedly aware that the statue isnt real. the question is what happens next.
