I got together a first pass of an animatic for the film. It still needs a few shots inserted, and more split screens, but I just wanted to get general feelings and beats down.

See you next week!

Here’s color scripts and a cool color line thing that I did to see if the order would be nice.

I really want to nail down my character design before I start boarding, so that's what I've been trying to do since I last posted. Here's the explorations I've done so far:

Then here's some palettes I've been looking at for the body's "sight".

I'm trying to translate environments and how they feel into color palettes to use later. It's a really fun exercise!

Howdy. It's thesis time. Here's a bunch of stuff I did to explore stuff for my thesis film. Some of it is super rough and doesn't have much to do with the film as it is now (scroll down for more pertinent stuff; the pictures are in chronological order).

Hey all! Just a quick update here before I turn in for the day!

Here's my most recent animatic, I'm almost done inking!!!

AND here's another pass at colors. This time they're almost final. I have to determine them now because I have to consider background transitions and everything like that:

Until next time!

Another animatic is here! It's week 10, and the double digits of week numbers now is frightening, hoo boy. Anyway, here it is:

Also I was testing out colors, and none of these are final. I was just messing around with color style (I still need to determine the color that will stay in all of the vignettes aka the eternal color):

I also have both a composer and sound designer now, yay! Till next week, see you later.

I'm a tired potato.

Anyway:

I went to the artist's call meeting for RIT, Eastman, and other students for collabs and need to send a couple emails off to possible composers. I also think I've managed to nail down a sound designer too, yay.

So for today I have another pass with some scratch sound thrown in. Not all of the sound is covered, but I wanted basic stuff for my more "prioritized" shots. I also took a couple shots out, so some of the transitions either don't exist, or are weird in between.

I also low-key am afraid I'm behind, but I don't know if that's just me being paranoid or not. It is week 7 and we have 15 weeks, so it's pretty much the halfway point by now. Maybe I'll ask tomorrow about it. Anywho, cheers, y'all. Until next time.

Bit late, but here's this week's animatic! It's got a more upbeat and jazzier soundtrack, so some of the visuals would have to be taken out if I go this route (the breakup for example).

Also the Ottawa International Animation Festival was super fun and I saw some super cool stuff! I also won a silent auction for vintage merch, so now I have a sweatshirt from '94, so it's older than me (I'm also currently wearing it; super comfy if you're wondering). It was nice to see new animations and see the range of what people come up with. I gotta remember to take a step back and watch other people's stuff more often. 

Until next week!

EDIT: Hey! Just wanted to quickly add a keyed out shot, since some of the shots as they are now don't covey the level of stickiness I need to aim for:
