HOLY HELL SIX DAYS TO GO!!!
Just kidding... Actually everything is coming along swimmingly still, I've been inbetweening and colouring the shots for a few days now and they're almost all done! Just 5 shots left to inbetween and... Quite a few still to colour... But I can colour in zombie mode anyway and it won't take too long.
For practicality reasons a few changes have been made. Namely the shot from Oldie's feet looking up at him has been cut, now rather than cut to his feet and cut back to a full shot we just stay in the full shot through the 3 shots. The shot was giving me some trouble to draw, and after taking a good look at it, we realised it was there for pretty much no reason, it served no purpose other than making the shot really, really hard to animate. So now it is gone!
Also, Oldie's attire was going to have stripes, but after animating a shot with the stripes on, he didn't look right and the stripes didn't look good, they moved around a lot and it just looked silly. Now he has a light grey top on, his skin and gloves are still white, also we decided that there was really no reason why his moustache would be white, so that matches his hair colour now. Removing the stripes has made it much easier to get the shots finished.
I estimate I'll be done animating in 2 days, and colouring maybe 2 days after that... Which brings me 2 days shy of the deadline. Let's hope I can stick to that new schedule!
On Rob's side of things we've had a slight disaster with his computer going skitso... Hopefully it'll survive the next few weeks. We don't know what's actually wrong with it. Fingers crossed though. We're backing up extremely frequently now just in case it does kick the bucket.
Animating-wise he only has 6 shots left to animate, one a day is the schedule so it should come in on time! He's beginning to get nervous, but I'm confident we'll get everything done. 9 days for editing and a few bits of written work is plenty of time.
