Busy Busy Busy

The time has come where i no longer have time to breath led alone blog. Between working, actually going to uni and Pieced Together i have very little time to do anything else. Thankfully i have a job where i can sometimes work on production too.

The image uploader is disabled currently so i will just give you a written run down now and add the images later.

I have colour coded my timeline in AE now. Red = No work. Orange = Needs work. Green = Finished. I am hopping to have all the animation finished by Sunday night (24th) that might be pushing it but i have to set tight dead lines now or else it wont get finished. Once i have finished animating i am going to render out each shot at a low res and re import to AE. I will start a new comp with the music and edit the film till im happy with with it play back. I need to tighten the music and sound effects once i have my low res edit. Then need to re render out everything with the new time codes and at full high res. This i assume will take slightly longer but im hopping to use the MAC lab in building 15 and get a few shots going at once (this room now has CS4). This process (depending on wether i met my animation guide line should only take 2 weeks. taking us to the 7th of November. This will give me aprox a week to work on tittles and credits and then i think hopefully it will be 100% FINISHED.

Hopefully i wont run into too many problems during the export and edit. I can taste the end, its so close.

DEADLINES:

25/10/10 - Animation Finished

29/10/10 - Low res export & Edit Finished

02/11/10 - Sound edit Finished

07/11/10 - High res export & Edit Finished

11/11/10 - Titels and Credits Finished

12/11/10 - Hand in for final submission

I currently have 8 more shots to animate. Some are half way some are almost finished and some are yet to be started. If jack has finished the leaves by friday SC12 is finished. I also need to render out 4 - 5 individual puzzle pieces with the girl on them. They will need to go in SC2 (both shots) SC3, SC4 SH2 SH3, SC6, SH4, SC7, SC9, SC10 SH2 SH3 and SC11 SH1. Plus the entire puzzle for SC9 and SC11. I need to animate the girl breathing and blinking for those scenes also. Once thats done that is all i need from Maya.

From that point its basically just breaths and blinks, with exceptions to the fox.

Will upload more currently stills and videos when it comes back online. Enjoy my brain, it is now on a paper.
