Update! 4.8.11

Still working on adding the texture..got about 11 out of 31 left to go! So close.

Also here is an updated version of the poster..I like how the cross-hatching looks but I mess around with the framing of it a little more (time willing :P)

P.S. might mess with the text..I kinda feel like my name is too far off to the right..hmm..

MORPH AND TEXTURE...WHAAAAT?!

Sooo..this is what this sh-stuff is gon' look like. I may put a hint of a gradient on the backgrounds and such IF time allows. I hope to get a good grasp on the soundtrack this Wednesday.

But yeah..I'm pretty happy with how it's all looking like so far...only have a few scenes done though..so hopefully the I continue to feel good about the textures.

LOOK AT IT!

Ok, so here's the plan.

Spring break officially started at 3:30 PM today and I have been playing Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time since then more or less.

Anyway...I plan to find me some sound clips and perhaps play around with them to the leica reel I currently have. I do have a "spring break project" that I will be working on during my break more so than No Matter What..I really need a break from homework but that's really not gonna happen so this is technically school work that I'm doing for myself....does any of that make sense?

I also wanna see if I can get some envelopes from my mum's work and send out my extra demo reels/resumes/breakdowns out to various studios over break. :B

I met my goal!

All of the scenes are cleaned up and have flat color on them (minus the morph, still just lines) before March!! Yeah, I know March starts tomorrow but still, I got m scenes done.

Now. I gotta focus on the sound aspect of this film which is most likely going to be sound effects, I don't think I will have time to mess around with any sort of music by the end of the semester. And during this time, I will be going back and tweaking the scenes a bit and gradually adding the cross-hatching to the scenes. :D

 Oh..also gotta mess around with the heart too..damn.


So close to being done...sooooo close.

Psssttttttt...

...I have one last scene to clean up and put flats on! In the grand scheme of things...that's pretty awesome, at least in my opinion because technically once I have that last scene done, my film is done. It won't be pretty looking and things still need edits plus there's absolutely no sound but...all the animation would be done and the viewer would get the idea.

It's been a long road...almost to the end.

Midterm "mass" upload

Hmm soo...I've just been cleaning up lines and putting down flat color on all the scenes. Got about three left and then I'm gonna focus on the soundtrack as I tweak some scenes that needs and eventually add the final "look" to the film.

This blog post is supposed to be what we were going to show to the class on Monday but we had a snow day but I'm not particularly posting all that I was going to show to the class up on here. And since I don't want to put any more scenes up from the short, you all get bombarded by a bunch o' style clips of the same scene. :D There's like...10...ENJOY.

EDIT: I realize the quality isn't super amazing but I think there's enough of a difference to differentiate between all of them to pick a "favorite".


Ok so there's like 9 but still. It's just variations of hatching, cross-hatching, gradients, and all of them together.
I'm kinda diggin' the 3rd one. *shrug*

So. Close.

Update 2.10.11

Sooo...uhm...Just been cleaning up and putting flat color down on the scenes. Got about 13 scenes left to do, goal is have those done before March, I think I can manage that.

From there I will be focusing on the music/SFX aspect for a while as I tweak things.

Oh, I've also worked on some style proof of concept clips which I will post sometime next week, it's various stuff with cross hatching, gradients, and a combination of both.

I've ALSO been trying to work on my demo reel/portfolio so I can apply for internships for this coming summer.

The start of the color process. Some more proof of concept will be coming soon with a variety of ideas. Gradients and hatching included. :B
