Holidays Day Fourteen. 15/04/12

Tomorrow I return to Uni!
2 weeks have gone so fast and it always feel like i could of had more work done. But some things just dont go to plan.

I had work today and it sucks when you are working the full day and you think 'i could be getting work done' But i guess a break is a must. I think thats why i may have been sick on the Saturday.
I feel kinda of glad that were back now, because i can now show my teachers the work i have done so far and get feedback. Also i find that i may get destracted with things at home.

Tomorrow I have Darrens class which is Visual Effects. The work we have to do is involving the green screen and if we dont get the studio then im hoping we can work on our pre-production.
I also still have to complete my Production Proof. i will work on this aswell since it is due in week 8.

Fun times.

Holidays Day Thirteen. 14/04/12

On Saturday I wasnt feeling to well. I sat at my desk for 3hours and realised that i was drawing detail on the same picture! I had a really sore head and i just couldnt concentarte on any work.

So all i got done, well i only got half done is one layout picture.
I had planned to do all three pictures and write out/draw up a rough montage starting!
Hate it when plans dont work out.

Stupid being sick.

Holidays Day Twelve. 13/04/12

Today I set up my light box and made good copys of my rough layouts i did a few days ago. I had origianlly did them in my drawing book and i wanted another copy for my animation bible.
I mostly went over my roughs with basic outline so i could have the basic lines i needed and then later add in the rest of the detail i need.

That was mostly what i did. I thought about my starting montage but i still havent had many ideas come yet. I will be concentrating on the montage and will hopefully paint my 3 layouts i have now.

Holidays Day Eleven. 12/04/12

So like i had said in my last post i wasnt really planning on getting any work done today.


Nothing was done.

Holidays Day Ten. 11/04/12

ehhhhh..

So im not going to make the old papers for my character designs and all. I came to the conclusion of: I dont think its something that should be done and if i want work and show them my animation bible they might think its very not business like.
So instead i am going to just do my work on plain paper that has the title of my animation and what the work is such as 'Model sheet' and so on.

I also feel that im just waisting time on making papers. blahh
anyway, i did 3 rough thumbnail layouts, only in pencil i still need to paint/colour them. I need to do one more which is from scene one, guess what that still hasent been done. and i KNOW i need to do it, im still working on it!!!!

I have a rough idea of what i want for scene one, im going to have each newspaper on its own with an item that represents something to my character or to whats happening in the newspaper.
So newspaper one is that there is a new speices of tree found. Next to this i will show my characters Degree Certificate or something about him finding the new tree (something like that)

So what im going to do is list down all the newspapers(only 5) and then write next to each one what should be with it. I think that will help me.

Im just saying now i dont think ill be doing much work tomorrow, i got things to do and i have work. ill try my best.

Holidays Day Nine. 10/04/12

Today i made 3 pages of the landscape templates that i have for my style guide. I just need to burn a few of the edges. I have decided to cut out whatever drawings i have done and stick them on the old papers that i have made. It will look the same as my picture referencing pages.
So when i do my rotation sheet, model sheet etc.. i will cut them out and stick them on. This is so all my work has a continue flow.
However not all my work will look like the old pages, as my script, storyboard etc.. will be normal paper.

I have also tried drawing my character and not getting anything that looks like Darrens, but its okay im still trying and im getting a different look. I also did a bit of sketch of my outside background. it still needs work but im just working out where i want things placed.

Thats all i have done today I know its not much, but when i do more work i start to not concentarte. so im just taking it easy and letting the work flow as much as i can.

Holidays Day Eight. 09/04/12

Monday.

Today i scanned in my Thumbnails and script breakdown, i will be putting them in there own page after this post, so make sure to check them out.
First, my thumbnails are not fully complete because the whole of scene one is missing. this is because it is the montage and i havent figurd it out yet.
My script breakdown has writing all over it with a few extra ideas and other things for me to remember.

A while ago i started to block out a rough design of the study room for my animation, i had stopped doing it because i had other work that need to be complete. Today i completed it in 3D and assigned random colours to each object so it is a lot clearer to see what everything is. AND i also named everything and put them into folders.











after finishing the basic structure of what i wanted in the room and where i wanted things to go, i realised that i need more items everywhere so it looks like this is everything he has, his life is all about making this seed. I feel that i need to show that more. There are just areas of too much open space!

For my animation bible I have already made old looking paper. I'm using it not only for the look that i would like for my animation but also for the style to present my work. I am up to the stage of designing my character and trying to get the right look for him, but i am a little stuck because i dont know if i should design him on the old looking papers that i make. I know its not a big deal, but i like my work to have continuity. But is doing the whole old paper thing professinal? If i was to show my animation bible to get work will they think its professinal?
Teachers help me.
