The Bæ Chronicles - Episode 1: The Jump

Some time ago - in January 2005 I think - I made this short for Marius (my son, who was about 1.5 years old at the time). He has a plush(ish) sheep which he calls "Bæ" (which is norwegian for "baa", in case that wasn't obvious ;), which I thought it would be fun to animate. It was fun, but most of all it was an incredibly useful learning experience, as I had to use many of Blender's animation tools that had evaded my attention earlier (actions, the NLA editor and the sequences, to mention a few).

Alien head

Just an alien head I accidentally modelled. (Yes, "accidentally". I was working on another model, and decided to redo the nose, and when I removed it, it looked like some kind of alien. So i glued the hole shut and went from there...)

Here's a short animation that shows some of the facial movements I've added so far. I need a few more to do any lip-sync, and some of the existing ones need some improvements, but here's what I have so far.
