Schedule...meh

As you can tell, I'm not good at scheduling things. I'm down to the week before finals and that's all I've got for time. So here's the basic game plan...

March 1st & 2nd: Work on Backgrounds

March 3rd - 13th: Animate like there's no tomorrow.

It's hard to put my work flow into a nifty chart, all I know is that when I'm given something thats due...I'm gonna get it in on time. I'm cutting it real close, but I should be okay, I'm down to my final projects in my other classes and I'm pretty much finished with my Digital Form Final except for a few tweaks.

So enough blogging and back to working on this project...even though its 1:08am...many many long nights ahead haha.

Storyboards...Finally!

Yeah, I didn't get to upload these as soon as I thought, but hey here they are at least. They are a bit on the sketchier side...but I have a good idea of what I'm doing now. Hope you like.

Oh yeah, ignore the 2nd row of the first page, the crossed out lines. I didn't like it anymore.

Edit #2: I wanted to change how I do the transition from the interior of the restaurant to the roof shot with anzu eating her loot. I'm going to pan up from the interior of the restaurant after she steals everything and fade out to black and then fade in while still panning up to her eating on the roof. This is so that I can try and make sure the audience know's its on the roof of the restaurant.

Class16: Part Deux

I finished the rough storyboards I needed. Ill try and get the rough storyboards up later today so you can at least check em out. Gonna scan em in and clean it up a bit in Photoshop a bit and then I can post it here. It looks like I have 8 backgrounds, 2 which are the most detailed and the rest are actually really really basic and easy. So it shouldn't be a prob.

Most of what I'm planning on is a lot of Motion tweening for a good amount of the animation until we get to Anzu eating on the roof, thats where some more sophisticated animating will happen. Even then, I'll have some simple motion tweening for certain actions.

Kinda worried...lol but not really. I can do it, I really like what we're doing in this class, I like how this story is going, I just need to get my butt to work hard.

Class 16: Um...

...got nothing for ya other than I'm gonna work on stuff today and it's gonna be cool. I'll update at the end of class like usual if I have anything.

That new but yet so familiar feeling...

So, in today's class I managed to at least complete my Character Design Turnarounds for Master Jurou. Not much else to say but onto the next part of my work!

Class 15: Wacom Stylus

I feel pretty darn comfortable with it. Feels natural for me to go from pencil to plastic thing to expensive screen thing. In fact, there are times when I wanna trade pencil and paper for a cintiq stuck onto my body somehow...but naaah. If I have any problems with the stylus...it would be that I don't like checking out the stylus every time I come here, mostly because I'm lazy lol. Kinda wish my pen on my Intuos2 would work on the Cintiqs...oh well, take more of my non-existent money Wacom! Noooo!

So, I missed Class 14...which I'll name "Class14: Ninja...VANISH!" in reference to my final for the class. Honestly...I haven't gotten much done, seems like I'm repeating myself in each of these posts, heh. I also haven't really been getting much sleep, I'm jealous of the dude who's sleeping on the couch near the elevators of monty right now. I'll get this done, I will, I promise. And its gonna be cool...or at least decent, heh.

Extra Tidbits

After a few hours...I like how Jurou turned out, so he will have the newest design posted. Here he is next to Anzu for comparison.



Also, I did a little doodle of Anzu over the weekend...I forgot to mention that in the earlier post, but I liked the doodle so much that I colored it and here's how it turned out.
