VIIth blog for FMP animation

A new post today, catching up what I've done so far.

17/02/11

I have done some more sketches of Pete and Donny may look like, i'm at the moment fine, what Donny my look like, but I didn't like the leg arrangement with Pete, which I needed to improve with (look at flash pic of Pete what I want to do with the legs arrangement).




I have started to refocus on my flash skills, were I felt I need to improve on such as bringing in sketches of Donny I done and traces them onto flash, also done sketch in flash with Pete which I didn't like at all, however this was only practice.







Meanwhile I done a little flash animatic of Pete and Donny on the sofa in its bier minimum (movie below). Just to relearn flash again I haven't done a while.

Did some exercises with the main characters with different camera shots, which gives a different perspective of what the characters will look like in different angles.

Just finished off drawing my new storyboards for the new script, now to scan them into my computer and crop the storyboards into an animatic to show my peers ready for Tuesday showing.



21/02/11

Got all my images into iMovie. Import images, put them onto timeline, add audio onto the animatic. Save and Export as an avi file, ready for tomorrow.

I saw Max Hattler again today to taught our class today, I was showing off my improved animatic (note: my voice was off when I was recording yesterday). Got feedback how to improve on, they say I need to change some of the camera angles to give a flow, and it could be similar to Beavis and Butthead if I don't change the camera angles. Overall, said it could be achievable to do the animation.




End of blog for now, new blog soon. Bye.

VIth blog for FMP (btw sorry about the delay)

Sorry for the delay, A blog catch up what I've done so far.

03/02/11

Today I saw Will today for a tutorial, discussed about the script needs to improve on ovearall, such as the structure was the main point, needs rethink of the strutre. Another thing the scipt needs to lose was the Family Guy/MP jokes (as the animatic below). However Will said the interaction between Donny is good thing in the script. So overall I need to improve the script.

Been doing another sketches of what Donny may look like in future. Also a possible idea what Pete might look like as well.

08/02/11

Max Hattler was in our class today, class show some of their work from the past two months so far. In the Afternoon, Max showed some of his own work he has done from his portfolio, one of them was a music video for Bassment Jaxx called 'Where's your head at' (2010) and other pervious projects such as 'Collision' (2005), which was quite impress from a professional video artist and experimental film maker.

I also, Uploaded my animatic (from last week) onto Facebook group, to get some feedback, someone mention they enjoyed the Family guy joke, apart from that comment there was no other feedback.

10/02/11

Now reworking the script again, responding from the negative feedback and improve on my script such as cutting out the Family Guy jokes altogether. Also, keeping the interaction between Donny and Pete, which came out positive from the pervious script.

15/02/11

Just finished off second attempted of my script. Showed it off to a few people to get some opinions, one of them to get an opinion was Will, early feedback is the script is much improve from the first script, I get propper feedback the weeks to come.
