How do!
Ive done a bit more animating, and I think the second scene of the five is looking alright now. I may have to re-visit some aspects of the animation, re-think some timing and re-animate some parts. This scene has been interesting in the sense that there are five characters, and so a lot of moments when we see the initial action and some secondary characters in the background. Animating people looking around waiting for their next big movement isn't easy. Also in this section of the story Danny is getting beaten up... so that was fun trying to animate. I mean you can refference a walk easily, you can act out someone picking up a heavy object in your room, but you cant throw your self about and pretend to be kneed in the stomach as easily.
... note to self - Watch more Jackie Chan movies... for research, obviously!
Cheers guys, hope you like the second part!

Retardo 18/08/09
Good day!
Well I've been doing a little bit of animation recently, and I think I have pretty much finished the first section of the Retardo animation - Danny trying to run away. I am happy with the way it has turned out, though I have found that the Danny rig is actually quite hard to animate with... But I think I have been able to create some good looking movement out of him!
So here it is, the first look of the Retardo Animation!! (done as a playblast, not final render - hence the low quality)
Cheers,

Retardo 10/08/09
How do,
just a quick one with rendered shots of the dark and dirty alley... really basic, repeated shapes and bump-mapping. the lighting isn't right at the moment, thats gonna be sorted shot by shot after the animation is completed.
I think its got a good feel to it, i wanted something really quite dark, so the characters will stand out, but also wanted some really high specular to define the main shapes.

Retardo 05/08/09
It is now Wednesday. A minute ago it was Tuesday. I need some sleep.
Haha, I have just been through all of the Retardo characters (that are now fully rigged) and posed them for a couple of simple renders to show off. Well here they are... MUH is supposed to have a cape, but thats gonna be added later. I think you can click for a larger view.
The next step is to actually build, texture and light the set, Then I believe it'll be time to start the animating!
I hope you all like the renders... the way I see things - Danny is gonna be fun to animate, MUH is gonna be a pain to animate, and Vinny is looking to be the scariest of the thugs...
