Rough Sequence

This week I decided to experiment and see how my shots looked when placed in a sequence. This was good because I now know what I need to do to fix any issues. However, I think After Effects may have dropped a few frames which would account for some timing issues. Anyway, here it is.

More Character Designs

Here I have a couple new versions of the protagonist. Sheila suggested maybe giving him a turtle neck sweater, so I tried it out. I like it! I also decided to play with the colors a bit too because I wasn't sure if I was totally feeling my original palette anymore. I don't have any real strong feelings either which way, though. Feel free to take a look. Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

Some very rough shots

Here are a couple of in-progress shots from my second act. I kept the BGs for this act kind of spare for the moment, so these don't think these reflect the final look. I'll get back to the backgrounds later, I just felt this week it was more important to get the animations down first.

Some BG's

Here I have a few backgrounds for the opening act. Hopefully this will give you an idea of the overall look of the world of my story. I'll try to post some rough animations later as well.

Character Design's

I realized that, while I posted my new animatic, I forgot to post my character designs. Here I have a couple basic pictures. I may change the colors and shapes of them a bit but for right now these are pretty close to being final. I'll try to get some backgrounds and visual development on here too so you can see what kinds of look I'm thinking of.

New Animatic for New Thesis

So, over the summer I decided that my old idea just wasn't working for me anymore, so I started over. Truth be told, I like this idea a lot more. I feel it works well in short form, and I think it will be easier and more fun to work on. If you have seen Jiri Trnka's "The Hand", that kind of surreal, theme driven appraoch is what I was going for, except different in execution and with a slightly lighter tone. Take a look, and any feedback is appreciated.

Opening Scene/Title

mech suit attack                 ^ here's a newer one I put through a luma key to make darker. These look   fine on my computer, but for some reason blogger seems to take the quality down several notches. If you want the actual files just ask me and I'll e-mail them.
