It’s been 2 weeks since I had time to make a post, but to me it hasn’t seemed that long.
Don’t get me wrong, these weeks have been extreme, but seeing as I’ve pulled and all nighter nearly every other day my internal clock is totally messed up.
So I’ve been working on revisions of the animatic - some changed camera angles and some different plot explanations.
I’ve also been working off the mood boards I made before and creating the actual character designs for at least Sephtis and River. Below you can see his, River is still in the works.
There are a lot of things I have to think about in moving forward.
Over the past week we have had individual faculty critiques about our thesis ideas. I had three meetings and overall it went well.
Yeah, some suggestions have been dismissed very quickly, but there are many others that are so valid they have to be considered. One teacher when scene by scene to try finding other ways for me to ‘say’ the same things without needing to do as much animation.
That was a great critique. Very long, but great.
This coming week is spring break and I’ll be going home for a few days to de-stress and un-plug a bit. However, shortly after we get back we will be starting on our proof of concept, also known as a vertical slice.
We have to completely animate :10 of the animation, and I have no idea et what part I’m going to pick. I do know that I want/need it to be a section that uses the ice magic….but other than that I’m not sure.
