Rough animation update

Well, I haven't finished rough animating yet, but I thought I might as well put up what I have so far, since I hadn't updated the blog in a while.





You'll also note that I changed the story quite significantly in the climax, when the girl falls off the plane. I feel it works better this way, since it's much less of an ... accident than before (although it's still an accident, I concede. lol).

Sigh, with the pace I'm going at working on this film, I highly doubt that I'll be able to finish it by the deadline. But one can dream. One can dream.

Poster

Just wanted to post something of a poster for the film here.



Now I finally have time to get back to doing the film proper again.

Scheduling madness

So my schedule has been wake up, go to studio, animate, animate, animate, come home, sleep, and repeat. I calculated that if I do about 5 seconds of animation a day, I'll be able to finish the animation by the deadline. That's of course, not counting the time I'll need to clean up, color and composite, not to mention do all the unfinished layouts I still have to do. But the 5 seconds also doesn't account for the fact that I don't need to animate about a third of my film by hand.

In any case, I'm aiming for an 8-10 second per day goal, which is quite a stretch, but I don't think unreachable. The next couple of days I'll be busy with other work, such as an essay and a poster for the film, which I'll need to complete for the yearbook. Sucks that it's interrupting my animating time, but them's the breaks.

I actually do have many more scenes animated, but I won't post them up here until I've gotten at least half of the film rough animated, just to save up me having to constantly upload the roughs. Hopefully that day will come soon.
