Interim 2

hey! it's been a while since i blogged...all of us have been busy with animation 2 production...but it's nearing the end of the block already so we had to update our classmates and lecturer on our progress for P3. The last time we had an interim was about 1, 2 weeks ago and we had to come up with storyboards, character design etc, which is shown below:

I edited my original storyboard quite a bit after recieveing some feedback (eg. The car should travel left to right so it feels like it's going somewhere instead of right to left, which feels like it's coming back from some place) and also cut off a number of scenes which were redundant. i changed the front of the story a little so that it would not be too long as well.

I wanted to put my storyboard up here but blogger is being horrible at the moment so i guess i shall not upload them. :b

This time round for interim 2, we had to show what we had done so far and so i showed my animatics, which is quite finalised (except for a few SFX which were left out). Some comments i got were:

- the newscaster's voice is too un-natural
- the main character's voice sound like an old man (LOL)
- the car in scene 18 should move faster

- there should be a slight pause before the lightning enters the frame in scene 18

- the lightning should hesitate a bit before striking the character at the end

But overall, i think the paceing and all was fine so yay! :] I'll probably have to make some changes and re-record the voice overs. Then later i'll come up with a production chart...hopefully i'll be able to complete P3! For some reason, i feel a little unmotivated and uninspired about school work. :[ Anyone feels the same way?

Anyway, i'll end off with the animatics i presented today. That's if i can upload it. :/

and apparently i can't. :[ man i hate blogging!
