First Walk Cycle

As the first part of the animation is a walk cycle, Amy walking towards the Teachers desk I thought I would just jump straight into animating, just for the first part and I'm going to block out the rest, I wanted to go into animating the walk cycle straight away, as I find it easier to get the correct timing on the walk. This is what I have so far, it's just the leg's animated, as I like to do bit by bit.

Posing the Characters

So I've started doing some of the initial poses for the characters, I've started with Tyler's first, which is him sitting at his desk not paying attention to his surrounding's I still need to add a some paper and a pencil for his props.

And a simple pose for the teacher because she's not really seen all that much until the end scene, so you'll occasionally see her sitting behind her desk and maybe pulling faces. So I've posed her to sit for most of the animation. Here's a quick render of the Teacher just below.

And this will be the opening shot, I've positioned the camera to do a long shot, so it introduces the environment. And in this shot we'll see the main character, Amy, walking towards the iPod dock on the Teacher's Desk.

Character Rig's

So I've chosen some rig's for my animation. I chose the eleven rig for the character of Amy and the Morpheus rig for the character of Tyler.

 And here's just some simple renders of the characters in the environment.

So that's Tyler at his desk and you can see the side of Amy. I haven't posed the characters yet.
I found these two rig's on the resource page on www.11secondclub.com

The last picture is of the rig I will be using as the Teacher, I found this rig on http://www.creativecrash.com/ and it's called the Mike and Tina Character Rig.
