ᴡᴇᴇᴋ 15: Finished (for now :’D )

ᴛʜᴀᴛ’ꜱ ᴀ ᴡʀᴀᴘ! I have finally added color to all my scenes in a way that fits my story. Chloe, feeling as if she had been fading away from existence (as shown throughout the short as she is not colored in fully) can now rest peacefully with Katie, in color and together. Unfortunately, it’s still not to my liking but I know one day I’m going to try and re do this animation into a way that’s satisfactory and pleasant to the eye. For now though, we gave it our all and shouldn’t force perfection when there’s still much more to learn and grow from :’)

WEEK 13 : Final-ly 

This week we begin working on the final look of the animation, and I’ve decided to go simple with black, white and grays; to have the viewer focus on what’s on the screen, also to say that right now she is at a dark place in her life. I plan on adding some color towards the end, to represent her finding a sort of peace. Can’t wait to do that :D

Other than that, I also took the time to practice more on my animating capabilities while working on the short. 

Yes... they are K/DA LOL

⛧ ᴡᴇᴇᴋ 10: ʀᴏᴜɢʜ  ⛧

And so, I continue to work on my rough animations this week. Here are some of the scenes somewhat completed over the course of the week. Unfortunately, the perfectionist side in me is disappointed in the scenes produced; doesn’t mean we won’t keep trying though and at least it’s progress;; It’s just a rough, Andrea... chill. 

Even though Friday is a holiday, I’m going to be dedicating my time on finishing up the roughs and starting the final production. And of course, I expect to be up till 6 in the morning; as usual.

Week 14: ʜᴀʟꜰ ᴡᴀʏ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ

This week was a work week for all my classes. I’ve opted to manually drawing out all the colors in my animation rather than using the paint bucket tool, in order to capture a certain look. 

The idea is this; throughout the animation Chloe isn’t colored in fully and is actually losing it, whereas Katie would be in all white to present her as someone ethereal and pure, their world black and white. Towards the end, the black colors try to engulf Chloe, to represent her falling into this depression/darkness, but she breaks that by going into the mirror. To join Katie in a more bright and colorful world.

Additionally, this method would prove to be easiest on time, considering we don’t have a lot left. 

It’s earlier than usual :D

Week 5: Animatic + Sounds + Pre-Production Package

This week I had worked on polishing the animatic for my short animation, Mirror. With that being said, I attempted to fix the timing and had added sound into the animatic for the first time ever since learning Storyboard Pro. It’s not perfect, but it’s something :P 

On the side, I continue to work on my Pre-Production Package, plotting and finalizing my Seq/Shot breakdown list. 

 Wow it’s 4:20 AM   :D

Week 7: Rough Animation, Back to Toon Boom 

This week I have continued working on my animatic, adding a song I thought would fit the theme and timing it with the ending. With that, I get back into Toon Boom Harmony and start the rough animation of my first scene. It’s been so long since I’ve touched Toon Boom, so I’m a lil’ rusty but that’s what YouTube and the lessons are for. I’m still working out my Sequence-Shot Breakdown list, taking out some parts that I thought weren’t needed. 

Here’s a rough rough sketch of what I plan to do with the first scene. And Yuh.
