Compositing

Nothing new to post just yet, I've been compositing what I have as far as roughs go and have been concentrating on tightening down the timing. Over Spring Break, I plan on finishing the remaining shots so to the point where all that is needed is tie-downs and cleanup. Once all the animated shots are roughed, I'll finish compositing and send it to my composer for him to take a look at and make any adjustments to the musical track as needed.

Posted Roughs

Here are some rough animations for Dreams. Hope you guys like them!

Nothin New

I've been in a slump over the weekend and haven't produced any new material. I will be posting some roughs this weekend.

Roughs

Production for Dreams is going good. Here are a couple roughs for the character, Billy.

EDIT: Blogger video likes to not work so I'll be using a different method for animation videos in the future.

I Deserve a Gold Star

Not much going on but I've been working practically everyday on Only in Dreams and am starting to devote spare time to Sonic to get that project over and done with. It's not easy juggling projects but the one with a due date takes precedence. I will post some rough animation of Dreams within the next week so you get the feel for how it'll look.

Sonic is still in the coloring phase. Taking time before school or before bed to color a few frames here and there will add up in the long run, so that's the current plan.

Backgrounds

Between hanging out with family and friends, I've been coloring backgrounds here and there. Here is one of the last few shots of the movie. This background is 99% done, I just need to add one last thing in it but otherwise it looks good.

It's a Bit Nipply Out

School's out for a few weeks but the work doesn't stop. Besides coloring my backgrounds and possibly getting some animated keys done, I spent 10 hours with my music composer over the weekend recording a song from scratch that would fit. He's got a little studio set up in his house with guitars and keyboards and whatnot. The song is a little over 3 minutes in length and contains recorded guitars, bass, drums, and strings. I'm really happy with what we've done so far just recording rough stuff which doesn't sound rough at all.

Basically, I told him what I was looking for and what should happen where and then we'd play the animatic and he'd just start jamming on his guitar while watching the movie and then we'd chop it up into pieces we liked went on from there, layering each instrument on top of each other; it sounds pretty professional. We used Pro Tools to record and put the track together and I'm really excited about how the final mixed product will sound.
