Process Video

I wanted to show a bit of the process of getting this from messy animation to clean animation. I'm sure it would have been better to do some better tie-down drawings, but DEADLINES, ya know. So This is an example of what I have to do to all the drawings in my 2:00+ minute animated short. No shortcuts, pen and light table and tears!

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 test

Working on clean up techniques. Going to throw down some color to see how much labor is involved. So far the clean up went pretty fast. Then again this is some of the newest animation I've been doing which is much cleaner that the earlier stuff I was doing because I had no clue what I was going for at all.

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.

Scene 16 updates

Now I just need to go through and tie the scene down and move on to the next!

more Progress on Scene 35

ROUGH ANIMATION Scene 35

Getting down to the wire, working at getting these scenes knocked out. Starting to get into a flow. I've got a couple more scenes to animate, which one is particulary tricky because all three characters are in the shot at the same time. Yeah I know that was probably a stupid move.

Close to putting this scene to sleep.

Took out some of the extra business the Girl was doing, it was just making the shot feel over active.

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.

GIF Animation

Before I start animating, I try to do something that isn't significant to the scene I'm working on to loosen up a bit. So I do some really rough animation stuff. I'm about done tieing down my shot before moving to the next, so here is a little animated gif for the fun of it...

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!!!

Title screen

Making a title screen for my film.

moer Gif fery.

Animation sequence where he is escaping the dad, running to a house and jumping on the door to pull it open. just the first part though.

animated giffyness

Working on some poses for when the boyfriend gets snatched through the door in a cartoon fashion!

Faux family photos

Some concepts for the faux family photo montage sequence.

New .Gif

Was animating a take, did a practice to test the pliability of the fur and snout. Think the shout may end up being a bit more rigid so he isnt too floppy overall.

Scene Thumbnails.

Re-working this scene. Going through and doing better thumbnails of the action.
