Nearing The End

We are finally getting close to the end of the course. The animation in my film is pretty much all done but the film is not complete as i missed a lot of fix ups and half the backgrounds are missing.

My graphics collaboration turned out quite well, and my sound student managed to hand me the music and sfx today. I am currently putting them all together in premier pro.

3 Scenes To Go

Getting close to completing the animation itself. I managed to take out 3 hard scenes today. It consisted of a slap, but since i have completed a punch cycle in the past, this was nothing new to me. It was time consuming as usual, but there were no stuff ups so it turned out to be a whole lot faster then the 2 days it took on the punch scene.

The last 3 scenes are by far the hardest and i plan to save them for tomorrow. It consists of a front run cycle, front walk cycle and a side silhouette run cycle. I dont have much experience in the two front movement cycles, but the side run is nothing new to me. I am sure that the animators handbook is going to help me a great deal on this task.

I have also began to implement the backgrounds. There are many issues to pick out with the backgrounds such as inconsistent light source and the fact that they aren't high contrast lyk the characters. I am not going to fuss over these as time is running short on me.

I will not complete the film, but i will finish the animation and i will implement as many backgrounds as i can. I will also attempt to edit the film using after effects in the last few days of the course, but the essentials come first.
