Scene 2 - Fox in the theatre

Finally the foxes body and head were animated in order to make the fox look like its taking part in the scene. The fox was originally static but making it look around the theatre while the shot is happening makes it have a purpose in the scene.

A camera was then added around the stage area to show the seating. A tween was then added by using the set key function to pan around that area of the theatre, showing the fox clearly above the stairs.

The theatre was the move so the animation would be the same but the fox would be walking along the stage. I learn from animating scene 1 that it is tricky to get the fox to change direction using the motion mixer, so I thought splitting the scene up would be a much better and simpler approach.

A camera was then added to show this part of the scene. It was set up in the upper tier of the theatre looking down on the stage area. This was done really just to show another angle of the theatre.

The door was then animated using the set key button at the point where the fox walks through it.

This scene was originally going to be a chase scene between the security guard and the fox. I decided to change this because the scene would not show any different types/methods of animation and I felt the time could be better spent on another scene. The scene was split into 3 sections. The first would pan a camera around the theatre. The second would show the fox walking along the red carpet and the third would show the fox walking along the stage to the backstage area. Using the motion mixer the fox was animated to walk along the red carpet area.
