Scene 002 Cleaning up.

Going through this shot and cleaning up line work. Looking at animation. Need to finish out flipping motion. Then on to the next. Schedule re-work up next.

Clean up and color

Too about 3 hours -import lines and process in Photoshop -vectorize into Toon Boom -Properly arrange frames and cycle -Do a base color for all part -Do a shadow pass -Play around with a softening effect -Next I'm going to adjust the line color to see how much I like that, then it's going to be decision on final and comp into scene with other elements finshed in the same manner so I can test how much time it takes to do one shot. My safe estimate is that I can clean up and color a shot in about two weeks max, with life and all happening.

Background Art

Put in some time doing background art! Getting some shots and posting them up. Decided to just complete the art in toon boom instead of trying to comp it together in after effects, or using Photoshop. Scanned in original drawings, decided to complete the art in Toon Boom to learn the tools, but also to make the exports more efficient. Also there is no loss of line quality as the camera moves.

Finishing up presentation slides.

Some Model sheets of the characters. So much stuff I didn't post the finals of.

Coming to the end of the road!

Pretty soon I'll be presenting my project in hopes of approval. In the process of working through some of the last shots to touch before it gets down to the wire. adding some finishing touched to the bkg art etc... I need to get on this power point asap as well.

More animation on scene 11

Shot almost there. Need to do some fine tuning where the characters need to settle into poses. There are some extra blinks in there as well that need adressing. This scene is about to get put away in short order.

Progress on scene 08

In this shot, the wanna be smooth operator slips up and calls this girl he is making out with by the wrong name.

Scene 28 Done for now.

Working on locking down scene 28 It's time to move on to another scene to see how everything is working together instead of obsessing over one scene.

Animation Update

More progress on scene 28, tieing down some frames and tightening up motion.

Animation update

Animation blocking. Committed to knocking out the animation for this project!!!

animated .gifs! Oh my!

Ok, I'm going to get back to work for real... One more diversion!

Latest Progress

Base Color for all shots have been established. GOing to comb back through scenes and work on more concise thumbnails before animating.

More ruff animation

I love doing rough animation. I wish I had a clean up artist.

More ruff animation

I like the ruff stage of animation, it's when you get to play with movement and poses without worry about clean line work, however I'm well away that the clean up will be coming soon... gulp.

Rough animation

I dabbled with the puppets, and think I may have some use for them, but I'm opting for more traditional animation.
