Perspective Help

Week 8 update

Well I have finished bringing my scene files into premier. I wanted to animate the background in After effects, but the short is so strongly based on music. I need to hear it all as I animate and with the limited RAM preview of AE, it does not offer what I need for sound.

Week 7 update

Backgrounds are done and the separate elements are done]

The Final background for the short animation.

Background update

3 of the 4 backgrounds are finished. Here they are.

Week 5 progress

Alright, This week, Josh will be working on getting the character pieces created and rigged in Flash. I will be working on getting the story board edited by next week and the landscapes finished within the next 2 weeks.

Next week we will start shooting live reference footage to match up the music. Then we can plug in the key frames for the characters based off of the live footage. After that, I can start animating the background.

And as they say; if there is something wrong....fix it in post :)

Story Board update

I separated the story board by scene. Each has a clear beginning and end so doing it this way will allow us to move scenes around if need be w/o having to redraw anything or much.

Music chosen

Ok, the music is going to be roughly broken down as follows:

Opening - Bagatelle in A minor (beginning to :58)

1st scene -Bagatelle in A minor (beginning to :58)

2nd scene -1:08 (make loop of fast section then bring in
the slow down for when he watches the girl bounce all
over the place)
Bagatelle in A minor

3rd scene - 1:47Bagatelle in A minor

4th scene through ending - 4:00min and after in
Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 13 in E Flat Major, Op.
27 No.1

Hand Poses

Just some hand poses for the tweening process.

Character Updates Dad and Girl

Here are the concepts for the Dad and girl. Now in this animation you will only see them in any detail in the end, and that shot will be static. They will be even more detailed for that shot, this is just a likeness to what they will look like.

Dad Character Design

After some sketching this is the design I want to go with. I have to run it by my partner Josh to make sure he agrees

Character Sheets

Just an update on some character silhouettes. still trying to find the right style for the animation. I have a feeling it will be something very stylized.

Starting a Shot Film

Starting the concept phase for a short film at school. Right now I am designing the backgrounds, my partner Josh is doing some tests in flash and gathering music. Were are both going to knock out some character designs this week. Hopefully next week we will have the the music we will use so we can start to flesh out a storyboard. Once we have that we can then start to shoot some reference footage for character animation. Here are some of the backgrounds that we might/will be using (Still only roughs)
