EMPIRE STRIKES BACK Additional Animation Footage

Thanks guys for all the encouragement! I finished the rest of the animation right before Comic Con and have since past on the footage to my compositor who is now working his magic, I plan on revealing the finished shot in about another week and a half or so....... hang in there!
Christrom: I don't use keyframes because I prefer to just start at the beginning and just let the animation flow without worrying about getting to a certain point by a certain frame. I do, however, act out the action with a stopwatch to roughly figure out the length of the shot and then I can kinda gauge where I need to be by a certain frame.
 
Just wanted to post this pic of me finishing the last frame of the shot, this set-up has now been struck and I'll be moving onto my other shot very soon.
 
THE FINISHED SHOT IS UP!!!!!!!
To view the full edited shot cut into the film on vimeo here's the link https://vimeo.com/47677051

To view just the un-cut effects shot on vimeo https://vimeo.com/47683276, for this one you'll need the password which is "fantamation"....... gee how original LOL

it'll be up on You Tube in a little bit, will post that link as soon as I get it
 
Stunning mate, really great stuff you've done a bang up job on it......All you need to do know is remove a couple hundred Ewoks and the circle is complete
 
Very cool. I bet you had fun doing it. I bet it was a ton of work.

I showed my wife, who has never seen the films, and she couldn't tell what you added.

Hey Thanks everybody for the kind words of support, this Wampa attack shot was just a warm up for the next shot which I'm currently getting set up for. This time it's gonna be a full on running shot....... wip pics will be coming soon
 
Ok, here's a couple of wip pics of the set, I just have to carve out the left side of the set behind the lair entrance and add a couple of "floating" boulders here and there and then extend the far inside cave wall a tad and it'll be ready to go
