CG WIP: a short 3D animation about avatar

[fierox]

Hey all,

Thought i better start a new thread about the progress of the animation i'm working on.
Its still far from done and im very busy animating.
Next to animating i've gathered some reference pictures about Pandora and its fauna and just started work on the scenery or background.
My plan is to mix animating with creating backgrounds, plants, etc.

About the animation.
The animation will probably be 5 mins or so and takes place some time after the movie. I dont want to give everything away already but below is a general idea of how it starts and what the first few scenes are about.

After the initial celebration and rebuilding Pandora life is slowly getting back to normal.
More and more Jake is starting to think, or worry, about a possible return of the aliens, all the deaths the last war caused and whether war could have been prevented by him or not.


Its a study project for me, i hope to learn and cover all parts from modeling Neytiri and Jake up to a completed animation.
Hopefully i can make this thread a fun to watch trail from start to finish
