Linetest for our third year graduation film, Cyren.

Final linetest of the woman of the film once she has left the painting and gets annoyed at the sight of the lower city dwellers seeing her; She transforms into a monster. The animation took quite a lot, lot longer than the hand emerging.

After the initial motion pass was made, the animation was built up upon and developed. The hair was the last thing to be animated which then brought the animation to it's seventh pass. Again due to the method of animation clean-up was sort of merged into trace which worked as it saved a huge amount of time. I decided to put in some extra animation as i did the trace just to add some extra life into the mutation.

The clean-up test will go up soon which shows the shot a lot clearer than the rough animation test, any comments greatly appreciated.
