Moving on..

hi readers..
It's been a tight week for everyone and it will be tighter as days goes by.. :) lets endure it people!
Today, i've consulted Amanda for my story. (Get well soon though) This is my first time trying to make a tense animation and im not sure how can i bring my animation out. Im so afraid that nobody will understand my character. i have to try my best to make it work.

As Amanda was giving me nice suggestions, i thought of putting some ideas of hers such as the ending, instead of making my python hit a rock. It was being tied into a knot by Abeeku. I have to find ways to cheat that scene. :) and she also say something very useful like, making my shots tighter to emphasize on the tense.

The problem im having right now is obviously the SFXs as i didnt want any lip-sync and the tense part. My first few scenes was approve but not mine ending. I dont want to give my ending away. Im too trying to find the ways like after all the tension how can i change it to a comedy, what can i create, is it by SFX and how well i can show through my animation.
So im praying that i would want to make it work and i try not to give up...

this is what ive done so far.





My python... for the opening...



This is the paning scene of my BG. As Abeeku was trying to figure out was he heard.

Till here.

:(

I have to admit that i didnt do well on my animatics. It's a last minute work though because i thought those who meet Alan on Thursday present on thursaday and those on friday present on friday

Well, im re-doing back my story and my character. I want to make Abeeku more easy to animated instead of drawing him in full porpotion. Then feedback i get wasnt great, but i know its coming anyway. I didnt wanna complain that i have to cope with alot. LOL but ive promise myself to make this animation better than my animatics. which means im going to make my animatics better. seriously i don want to do lip sync. Now im doing alot of reference but borrowing books on snakes, pythons and animations.

Alan help me alot though. He give me good ideas and help me giv some reference for my gliding python. Seriously, 3D is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay easier then 2D but hey, i cant stand doing rigid and stuffs. Drawing is my passion!

The things i would like to change will be my story, character, storyboard..let's shall say everything! I would post my characeter design asap. Now,im trying to make my snake glide in Flash

till here.

Next step..

I'm half way through my animatics. I thought of asking Alan how shall i do when i want the snake to glide. But he wont be entering class today. for now this is my character, Abeeku.

and one of my short scenes making my python glide.

This is the scene where i would like to asked alan for help. hehehe.

So yeap, basically, my background will be quite simple. there not many details to it. but i will try my best to make my animation outstanding.

im still working on my animatics and abit of line testing

till here.

Update..

Sorry, it's been awhile i didnt updated my blog.. What i have done so far is my gantt chart and trying to make my stories right.. i havent showed Alan yet cause i thought it would be better if i'll show him in my Animatics, which im doing it right now. For my character, I've finalize on Abeeku, my main character but not my python. Whatever im doing, it look like Kaa the jungle book. Python do look alike but i know i can create something different. LOL! i can try ah!

Anyway, i still dont like my story that much i've been trying hard to make it simple as i can and of cause animating it smart!
The problems i'm facing are, first, is my python. im trying my best NOT to make it like Kaa but everytime i show Alan he says it still looks like Kaa. And there's one he says it looks like crocodile. hahhaa. Oh well I'm taking to long to for character designing however, im trying to pace myself up and put things together.

Fow now, im focusing on Animation2 so i can focus more on P3 later.

Till here.
