I e-mailed Ash and Samir to double-check if they are still on and will help me out with animation, they haven't reply so I think that they maybe don't check their rave e-mail that often and will write to them on facebook as well. Patrick had misunderstood and not checked the blog so he started modeling the Doctor, but Jessica already did that so I asked him to check his mail again as the 3D model and the color-scheme and everything was sent to him earlier on. I sent the mp3 and the script to Mike Hirsch so that his daugher and son can play around with it at home and record - would be really good if it worked cos then I gat Sophie's voice for the start of the film right there! So thanks for that Mike H! :)
I messed up jessica's bathtub with black water color as I have done lots of test for the character "The Shadow". I liked the result but think I want to do it again as there is a reflection from the lamp in the bathroom that we couldn't get rid of. I have tried to get that test up on this blog for HOURS!! And in 4 differnt small sizes but no...fuckin hell, will try again cos I think it looks cool
I painted more ugly houses for Aminata's backgrounds and here are some watercolor textures for her film, I have a bout 32 more to paint...
I have re isntalled Maya about 4 times but no, it doesnt seem to want to work on my copmuter and it is stressing me out cios I really need it and have been struggling with it for months. If worse comes to worse then I will have to do the texturing in college. I am missing concept for the dead world and I am also missing test for the dead world but I can't be bothered asking for it any more so I will do it on my own with help of After Effects and maya.
I did ugly concept for Bobo's blendshapes and we discussed how he should be Animated and how he can be more expressive at the last meeting. Josie and I did and put up the new schedule and I put some backgrounds I painted up on the group blog and is waiting for some fedback, will make more art work during the weekend.
I found this art work online and I love it - it goes together with the creatures Raphael had come up with for the Deadworld. Would be nice to adapt the idea of using akvarell and pens to it so the creature could be 3d but textured 2d and have a 2d effect. Raphael is working on it.
Have done some texts with the Shadow using Corel Paint and Final Cut Pro- I don't really like the look I get with Corel Paint though and would rather just 2D animate it and draw it and paint it for real instead of digitally. Played around a bit and last night I did some tests in Jessica's bathtub. Will post the film here later on, just need to make it smaller first. Showed it for the group today anyway and they all liked it so thats good. I like it. Still think I want to add something to it. Messy charcoal maybe.
Had a meeting with the group today and Mike joined in and gave us an ultimatum. 2 weeks.
Aminata seem to have liked the new backgrounds, I told her that if she wants changes or more then she should just let me know and I'll do it. I think its really fun :) She wanted some more really ugly houses with boring ugly colors s I will do that tonite.
Beautiful animated films:
