Scene 2 - Ordering Sausage

Now that the man has made it to the booth, he proceeds to order a hotdog from the vendor. The man puts his hand up and points that he wants one sausage, and the vendor is happy to oblige. He reaches under his counter and places the sausage on top where the man can reach it.

The animate this scene, I used the key frame tool again to move the man's arm to about shoulder height. Once I had done this I rotated his fingers until they were all tucked in, leaving his index finger to point to the main. I then went about setting the man's arm back to his side and unbending his fingers.

To make it look as if the man was speaking, I using the rotate tool to make his head bop about and move, as if he was moving his jaw. Because of the comedy and cartoony feel of our video, I think this has worked very well, however if this was more realistic, I would have liked to have actually used lip syncing and real jaw movement.

Once the man has made his order, the vendor replies to the in the same way, moving his head and waving his arms about. I then used the rotate tool on the vendors spine to make it look as if he was bending down to pick up the hotdog. I selected both of the vendors hands and pulled them towards the counted to make it look like he was reaching under it, before rotating his spine back to normal and pulling the plated hotdog and the hands up to the top of the counter. I then returned the vendors arms to the side of his body.

Because there was no movement in this scene as such, I did not add a moving camera, instead it will be static behind the character.
