Cleanup Process Explained

Made a video that talks about some of the cleanup process with ink traditional.

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!

Clean up! Clean up!

The work of back and neck cramps is in full effect!!! More clean up on a pair of scenes!

New Stuff

I've got to get back into posting. I've figured out my work flow, so I'm just knocking out drawings. I can average about 20 per day. Now I have to sit down and focus and do 20 per day, except weekends, ya know, life...

NEW Schedule!

I took a little break from grinding on this project, but I've re-evaluated my schedule of work I need to get done to complete this project. I fully believe I can complete it sooner, but I'm giving myself some space to include other projects I need to complete as well.

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.

Taking it to paper

Dropping in-betweens on this shot, and it's going to clean up SOON. I'm going to re-work my schedule for greater accuracy. I've also got a small team working on music and sound fx, lightening my load a bit. So I'm re-invigorated.
