Post19 - News: Plans 06/06/21

Updated News: 21/06/21 Hi there!

Here's what I have so far: Main Post

If you're still here after the hiatus, thank you!

The finals went well, but I also realize that I want to pursue other things, too. Thus, this ex-student project would become a "sidequest" of sorts, meaning its initial plans have stretched. Anyways...

Prepare for a BIG post below. Mwahaha...

Long-term Plan

What I have so far...

Month 1 - Designs Month 2 - Animatics & Chosen Seq 1 Month 3 - Chosen Seq 2

What I plan for :

Storyboard (done years ago) -> Animatics (done Month1-3) -> Animation (this plan) -> Color (hopefully?) -> Effects (ahhaha)

Milestones:

Note that these may change upon my speed & time availability. I may consider cramming/stretching these stones as necessary.

<<Month #: Timestamp Type Name>>

Month 4: 0:00-0:35 Animation Broom Flying

Month 5: 0:53-1:17 Animation/Refine Talk

Month 6: 1:17-1:41 Animation Sand Clock-Class Ends

Month 7: 1:42-2:20 Animation Carter Enters

Month 8: 2:35-end Animation Ending

Below is if I still want to continue by coloring it, but don't anticipate for this, for I (as of 6 Jun 21) believe that making multiple short stuff is better practice than perfecting 1 stuff over & over.

Month 9: 0:00-1:00 Color Part 1 (Broom Flying to Talk)

Month 10: 1:00-1:45 Color Part 2 (Talk to Class Ends)

Month 11: 1:46-2:20 Color Part 3 (Carter Enters)

Month 12: 2:20-end Color Part 4 (Chase Scene to Ending)

**You may wonder: "why is it a year worth of stuff?" Because it is. I'm doing this alone (for now), so the time I have is limited...

What is it?

Month1 (Animatics P1)

Month2 (Animatics P2 & Animation Seq. 1)

Month3 (Animation Seq. 2)

EDIT (06/06/21): Updated News

Hi there!

If you're here, then thank you. -v-

The class for this animation project is over, but the project continues!

I just... need to finish my final exams well, so I need all the time I can get.

Thus, I will be on a 2 week hiatus.

See ya!

Post16 - Month 3 Week 4: Chosen Sequence #2 - Sound / Finalization

Finally... it is done.

One session, four hours..

Commentaries

My work Time: 2 hour: Draw over & fix (90+pics) 1 hour: Grid in (90+pics) 1 hour: Rendering

Rendering multiple times because I just realized Blender also renders my hidden 3d models...

Should've done this in the morning, but stuff happened and this session got from noon to midnight. If it was morning, I think I might have saved at least 30 minutes.

Devlog - Month3Week3: 18/05/21

Rough animations "finished"! (meaning weapons & faces are where and when I want them to be).

I will clean the lines up next week.

The frame rates dropped for some reason while I'm recording my screen. The final (with sound) should be sped up x1.5 or x2.

Smoothness and bounciness. Also faces.

Need to add face & weapon & I'm done for this month's goal.
