So I'm posting after quite a while and I've made quite a bit of progress since last time! I animated the tongue with ease and went through the mouth animation again, this time furthering the extremity of the smiles and anger. The reason behind doing this was learning more of how to use the rig from a friend and turning on the smooth mesh layer rather than the dummy layer. This enabled me to get a lot more control over the mouth without getting ugly artifacts. I also made sure to add some awkward smiles between the dialogue like I first decided in my animatic.
Next I animated my camera roughly. Obviously since I didn't have my additional rigs in yet, this was just more to have it frame the scene and I will likely change later. I then added my second rig. So far he is simply lying on the floor but I may do some small animation for him too, just moving slightly or something of that nature. Anyway, the animation is coming together and I have higher hopes for it than I originally did! Next I plan to get the rest of the rigs into the scene and do any animations that I want to with them. Following that I will adjust the camera (if necessary), animate the main rig's eyes and look at rendering things though I may decide to add a backdrop to the scene then too.
