Final post

Well it's down to the letter and the race is on. Can we all do it? Will our animation be ready? Will tweens be added? Will there be enough tweens? Will I stop asking "Will..." questions? All that and more to be answered soon.

Complete with all the rough animation and more than half is fully cleaned and colored and exported for viewing pleasure. I'd put something up, but this late in the game would just ruin the surprise. Good luck to the rest of you and I look forward to seeing all your films.

Cutting down

Well I guess I'm finally listening to people. A few of you kept reminding me how ambitious my project is. And I'm seeing how right you guys were. So I've got to take off one or two scenes that are unnecessary. But I don't want to forsake all the fun action scenes. I will get those done so it will still be the action-packed animation I've been talking about this whole quarter. Good luck to the rest of ya!

Turn'n round








I had completely forgotten that I never uploaded a turn around. Here's Vixen's turn. Progress slowed to a halt for a bit due to outside projects getting in the way. But I'm back on the ball and kicking up a notch! Here are more BG's for your pleasure. Enjoy!

Production!

Production is on its way. I'll be uploading video soon. Here's a few of the backgrounds to give the feel for what the complete work will look like. The first is the opening shot, while the second is a pan used later in the work.

Schedule

Here's my schedule for how I'll be finishing up the work. You may notice how short the time maybe on each scene. I'm first getting all the background work out of the way. And secondly each scene is short so there are a lot but they're not that long. And the animation will mostly be symbol based. Only the main character is full animation.

Storyboards

Here are the storyboards for my project:



Production


I've moved from pre-production to the Production stage. Everything has been keyframed and now the tween part begins. I'm doing a mixture of full animation and symbol based animation. It will be interesting to experiment and see how the two work with each other. I'm quite green to the cut-out
style of animation. I'm excited and look forward to seeing how it turns out.
