Montage

Here is my portfolio montage. I am going to add a couple of DP clips into it when I finally finish it.

Wacom

So my wacom tablet broke over the weekend. I ordered a new Bamboo tablet and it came in today. Drawing on it is a lot more different than I expected. It's gonna take a little getting used to. Hopefully my drawings won't look different now with a new tablet.

Spring Break WoooooHoooooo!

Spring Break...I remember when that meant that I would be having fun. This past week consisted of work, homework, and being indoors the whole time. This is another scene from my DP. This is the closing scene where I mention other stories that occured that I don't go into detail on.

As of right now I have the first 55 seconds animated. Now I just need to get the other minute and a half done and then I can spend the next month coloring and re-audioing. 68 days until graduation....So scary...

Also, here is my business card that I have been working on. Did a little more work on it today.

Headaches

Finally uploaded a drawing. This is one of the frames from my degree project. In this scene, the character on the left is my aunt and the one on the right is her boyfriend. The line in the audio is "My aunt comes with us sometimes with whatever guy shes dating at the time." The animation is of my aunt looking at her boyfriend and it morphs into different characters.

Eventually I'm going to scan in some backgrounds and do some color on the characters. Long way to go but I am making some progress.

Stackin' the wood

It's been a long week. Making progress on my DP again after a couple day drought. Not having DP this week really put me into a funk. I get most of my motivation to work on it when I have class and get input and see what everyone else is doing. I just finished up with another scene from the beginning of the piece. I have the first 30 seconds animated along with some other random spots throughout the piece including the last scene. I am off from work tomorrow so it will be entirely a DP/Portfolio day. I need to tweak my Portfolio montage and do some sketches for my web site and business cards. This is proving hard because i don't think I have a distinct style. I will probably end up using my DP aliens or variations of those. My website is in the process of being built for me too. I just need to get the domain name and figure out which pieces I want to put on the site.

Hopefully I can get some more DP done tonight at work...

Progress!

Been working all day. Tried posting a video of my work but it was compressed badly so I removed it. I should be able to surpass my goal for this week. I should be able to get about half of the animation done in the next 2 weeks. Maybe even more. I am excited about my project again. I went through a long period where I was not happy with it. Back to work time.

Native American Tribal Dance

What a long day. I had class 9-6. I managed to finish the long scene I've been working on. I'm excited. I just finished filling in the last photograph with a native american dance scene. Long story...

I didn't reach the goal I set for myself but I managed to finish a longer scene which I feel is just as good. I think I am going to try for my last goal again this week...At least 5 shots done by the end of the weekend...I feel like this is a really small goal so I am going to try to surpass it.

Now I'm going to do a little more animation tonight, then take a break and then animate all day tomorrow.
