Week #14

I am completely done animating.  Hooray!!!  I am so excited to be just rendering, and Jeremy has about half of my film scored.  This is definitely an exciting point in my film.

Here is some completed shots:

Week #13

Animating as always, and I was able to get 7 shots completed.  In addition, I was able to get more than half of my film rendered, which is going to save me a lot of time in the end.  I also have all of the shots that I have rendered in an After Effects and comped together with the depth pass.

Here are some shots I have completed:

Here a rendered still:

Week #12

This was definitely my most productive we animating.  I was able to get 11 shots completed.  I am not completely happy with them because I was not able to get the best quality animation, but I believe some of the shots came out nice.  The most painful part of this process is the set because as I am finishing shots I have to put the buildings in the correct spot.  This turned out to be quite an awful thing.

Here are a couple shots I completed:

Week #11

Still chugging along on the animation.  I was hoping to get 10 shots done, but I was only able to get 7 shots done.  I miss blocking out my animation!  I haven't really run into much trouble as far as animating goes.

This shot came out nice.  I used a lattice to deform him so that he looked squished when he hits the window. There is some nice drag as he slides down the window.

Here are a couple shots I completed:

Week #10

I was able to get five shots done this week, and I am really making progress on my film.  I am doing the shots in order from start to finish because as soon as I complete shots I am giving my most updated story reel to Jeremy, so that he can work on the music. The film is coming along, even though I am unhappy about having to animating the film straight ahead. 

Here a couple shots I completed:

Week #9

I have been spending a lot of time on this film, and I believe I am starting to gain momentum.  The critique forced me to see that the pace has to pick up, and I need to spend a lot of time over the break catching up on the film. I am also meeting with Jeremy today, so we can discuss the music because he is going to work on it as I go because it is vital for my film.

Here is a link to music style I am looking for:
Inspiration for Music

I was able to complete another shot.

Here is the updated version of my story reel:

Week #8

I was able to complete a couple other shots.  I did find out that there is no texture on the bus stop signs.  So I need to go back and texture the signs.

Just a quick shot of the sign.

Here is a shot of him falling asleep. Not sure if it is all too fast.

This shot is ready to render.
