another quick update

just wanted to upload the opening crowd scene which i've spent the most time on and im ubber proud of it. i think its the only cool shot that i have in my animation because i don't have any other fancy camera work in other scenes or anything. anywho here it is :)

also i have animated another few shots and i don't know, i don't feel like i have a knack for animating... just can't get poses right and stuff. just movements and weights in general i think. i lack those skills. however i am enjoying colouring a lot using the tablet.

Me and Cara are heading to school early tomorrow to record all the sound effects and voices for my animation.

um i tried to upload the video and i left it on my computer for like an hour and its still saying 'uploading video' so i'm taking that it doesn't want to be uploaded... i'll just have to leave it then... bummer. (just tried uploading again. and fail. i give up)

week something

yay i was much excited to animate the bear the girl is holding in aftereffects yesterday!

this got me pretty pumped and im excited to finally animate in aftereffects.

This week I got a couple shots done and its going pretty well. Still got a lot more to animate but I feel like its finally coming along.

Also I managed to get the music for the animation with Jack's help. I've also still got to finalise the sound effects as well.

just a quick update

I just wanted to post a picture that I've just coloured in photoshop.

All together this image has 5 layers which are the body and feet, bag, bag flip, right and left arm. This is so I can animate it in AFX. This is also my scheme to colour Timmy which is black and white until he gradually meets Lily when colours will be slowly introduced to him.

And also freaking out!!!!!! Much to colour and animate!!! I have applied for an extention but that is still a week without teacher's tuition! Doomnation!!!!!!!!!!!!! No sleep and food thanks. No actually I may neeeeed food to charge my battery.

Week 11 and 12

Ok so this is what's being happening. I have been sick for 3 weeks especially during the holidays. Unfortunely I didn't get as much done as I had planned due to that reason and I have fallen behind lots and I am freaking outttttt! I am still in the stage of completing the drawings which I should have completed by now because I still have to colour them. I've overlooked all the shots with Huni this week and we've worked out what shots I can animate in AFX so I don't have to draw all the frames to save time drawing. By this stage I think I've drawn perhaps 60% of the drawing and by this weekend I'd like to at least have it 90% done. I need to borrow the animation bible from the school's library because theres another walk cycle I have to do for Lily when she walking towards Timmy.
And also with the colouring scheme, I had originally planned to have Timmy black and white at the start and he will gradually build colour as Lily approaches him. And by the time him and Lily walk off in the end, he will be fully coloured. This is to show he is comfortable with his self and he has found a friend in Lily and he no longer feels anonymous. I still plan on using this for my colouring for Timmy.
