Putting it all together

With the final plan in place: It was time to get cracking! I had 8 days to do this in. The first step, of course, was to arrange the entire scene and set it up so that I could begin animating right-away.

And here it is - Carl and Kris with their army of Morpher Targets (Which, of course, would be hidden). The chess pieces were imported, cloned and set up accordingly on the chess board (A simple square with the Checkered pattern applied to it). The table was quickly thrown together with some basic shapes and painted with a nice wooden texture made last year. The stools are just shrunken-down versions of the table. I also applied 'Helpers' to the fingers of the 2 aliens, allowing them to clench all their fingers with a simple rotation of the Helper (It would simultaneously rotate all 3 bones in the finger). Their thumbs were, however, not included, as I wanted a greater amount of control over them. With the morpher targets now applied, the bones enveloped and the plot ready... it was time to begin!
