Major Animation Project Stage Six: Week Four

Week four and I am not very confident about reaching my milestone next week. The audio component of my milestone SHOULD be complete by next week if all goes to plan but the whole conversion/graphics card issue is still yet to be resolved. Instead i have been going hard at the visual effects and animated 2d sequences of my major. I am currently working on a 2d limited style animation in After Effects to represent a four second dream sequence in my project. It's looking nice but still requires more polish. My goal now is to at least complete all my 2d sequences by next weeks milestone to make up for the 3d work I should be catering to.

Major Animation Project Stage Six: Week Three

This week I completed two compositing layers for my project. One is a psycadelic style animated graphic, four seconds in duration and will be composited over the last shot in my film. The other is a fiery background sequence which will be composited over a shot where "El Conejo King" is angered. I can honestly say that i am loving After Effects at the moment, and i am quite suprised with what it can do, so much so that i have decided to incorperate it much more in my animation than i had originally planned, which i feel will put the icing on the cake, so to speak, on my film visually.

Major Animation Project Stage Six: Week Two

This week completed Li's master character's facial texturing, all that is left now is his hands and it's done. I've been building upon my audio week by week in approach to my milestone also. The instrumental is virtually complete apart from a few minor alterations and polishing touches, just at the vocal lyrics and melody writing stage now. As for my own 3d work, i am still unable to do much due to conversion issues and my graphics card no longer functioning, but im hoping to have things all sorted in the next few weeks. Until then i've decided to start working on a few little animated graphics for compositing.
