Nothing much to report today. Just trucking away. Almost done with the first batch of pictures. Should have them done either tonight or tomorrow. Carry on

I ordered my frames and they’ve been delivered back to my home in Cinci. I’ll be picking them up when I go home for Thanksgiving Break. I’ve fallen a bit behind in drawing. I’m trying a different approach now though, … Continue reading →

Powering through these images. Got a tad behind on my first deadline on last Saturday but I’ll definitely have the first 14 images done on Wednesday. I’ve decided to go with an 11×14 size mostly because that’s the size of … Continue reading →

Started drawing concept art even though the switch hasn’t been approved yet. Fingers-crossed >v>;  

Thinking of taking a step back from animating at the moment. This project is a lot to handle for one semester and I’m not that experienced in animating. Hoping to switch this story from an animation to concept art.

So I’ve been good at keeping with my new schedule so far, surprisingly! I have the entire first scene animated. Well, animated as well as I can right now. It’s still a bit blocky, but I’ll have to go back … Continue reading →

Still not too much progress made this past week. Been trying to stick to this new schedule I’ve made for myself and things are looking to keep going in that direction. My only issue right now is downloading after effects … Continue reading →

Reworking some things with the storyboard. Changing flashback area to a swampy setting. Need to fix cinematics and camera angles. Scrapping some scenes to make animation a bit shorter and do-able. Finally have an ending that isn’t anticlimactic. Might be … Continue reading →

Still working on fixing the story up a bit. I have all but the ending fleshed out. Then I’ll start an animatic that will hopefully be done by formal defense on tuesday
