film progress report

I thought that I should write something about the progress of my film and how it's coming along. Finished the boards and workbook some time ago. I've almost finished all layouts, except the larger ones where i need 16 field paper, started to animate a short scene on my film along with thumbnailing out a few more. hopefully i can get quite a few scenes thumbnailed out while i'm at home for the break. I'm really excited about doing the bg painting over the break. I'm going to do a watercolor wash using payne's gray. also a bit nervous since i have never really done washes before. i'll post my first test bg as soon as i finish it. been trying to figure out different ways of cutting down on animation time. as of right now i'm thinking of doing the whole flashback on 8's or 12's. keep it really limited. have another where the only part that is animated is the face. found someone who is willing to take on a few scenes as well. we'll see how it all turns out. i'll try to keep you all posted on how everything is coming along, and if anyone's got advice on how to actually finish a film on time i gladly accept all of it. hope everyone has a good holiday.

this is the only surviving drawing from this weeks class. the rest died in a program failure.

So I got a diviant art account and I wanted to make an ID for it. I was just playing around with some doodles and liked this one so I decided to use it. I hope it looks something like me even if somewhat idealized.

We got our animation senior studios about 2 weeks ago and it's really interesting to see each persons personality in their spots.

another day of life drawing

old stuff

just a page of comps i did. some are trying to remember others works and some are of my own. i like the kid, but need some kind of story for him. there's also some quick animal sketches and a page of real quick gesture studies of tennis players.

here's some work from today's figure drawing class. Nothing seemed to feel right when it came to drawing though. Went and saw the jungle Book at the El Capitan in hollywood this evening and it was stunning. By far the best restoration of any disney film yet.

here's some figure work from lou's class today. it's a tablet class, so i'm getting use to that. also i'm trying to think more in terms of composition. times range from 3 min-20 min.
