Im good to go!

ALRIGHTTT!! I'm so glad Mr Ronald said my story is good to go. But he asked me to change some of my camera angles. i have too many side view parallel to camera shot. I need to make it more dynamic by adding more depths. Okay so again, thank u Nafisah for helping me out with my camera angling. I sort of changed some view and make tighter shots. Here are the things I changed. I hope is understandable. i'm gonna redraw a new one. But here are the ones I roughly changed.






Oh! Oh! Oh! and i get to character design hot guy!! YUMMY! I'm still thinking if I should design him looking like

A. Chris Evans

or

B.Mark Salling

Oh man they're too hot I dunno if I can make my character as hot as them. This is a new challenge. Well at least I got to research on hot guys tonight *drools* ahahhaha

My new storyboard

Yyaayyy I'm quite happy that I came up with a new storyboard. I sort of 'interviewed' a few people like Naf, Kez and Wendy about what thing annoys them most. I made my character, Kay, really annoying and bimbotic now. I really thank Naf for helping me out and making me feel better last night. THANKS NAF!!! u are my best fwwweeennnn! hehehehe.

this time I think my animation could hit like...3-4 minutes.I showed Mr Ronald too he asked me to email him so..yeah, Here's the new one










Yes I scraped my favorite gumball scene! i loved my gumball!!! But this story is better. hhaha

My animatics

I just reached home. SO here's my animatics. Hope eveything goes well tomorrow

Interim 1

Interim didn't went quite well. And I'm panicking now. While everyone can start on production, I have to rethink about my story. I'm like ssoooooo worrieeedddd!! Argh! Is like I'm back to square one.

Julian and Bertrand said my current story is too simple and "it can be done in less than 1 minute." Alan also said that Riley gets angry too quickly. So I have to build up on my character. Maybe make Kay do more annoying stuff. Therefore I gotta rethink about my story. I'm feeling really down. I have to start thinking about my new story FAST!!!!

Okay so...that's all I have for now. Tomorrow have to start work.

my characters

Here are my characters! i can finally post them up after several changes and plus my hotel has no internet (Booo) Cant wait to move back to my apartment where there's unlimited fast internet! So yeah this is my finalised colour too. Very simple and minimal!

Riley

Kay

Storyboard

My Storyboard

My title

I changed my story. A little. My previous one was about them spending too much time in the music store and was gonna be late to meet their friend. K so now I changed it to Riley pestering Kay to hurry up as they were going to be late for concert but sadly Kay kept getting distracted. Kay so after that everything stays the same. I showed Alan my really rough storyboard and he said the story is fine but he didn't like the whole no-dialogue thing. Yes this time I mute them which means there is no dialogue. Yeah...he said I should put a little bit of dialogue in it. Yup. My learning contract is ready to go but I'm not gonna submit it yet in case I need to change some part of it.

I also thought about what kind of style I'm going to approach. I was thinking of traditional kind of animation. I'm not gonna use Flash this time I'm trying to go the traditional way (go rae go!)ANd since I'm concentrating on my animation, I was thinking I go for the very minimal coloring. I found some examples done by students from CalArts. Here are some examples.

The Pet Shop

watch the show!


Pin Up or Shut Up


watch it here!

Zoologic (my favorite)

watch it here!

I really like the 'Zoologic' color. I'm gonna have my characters to be all white with a tinge of Pink and Purple for Kay and Riley respectively. What I like about 'The Pet Shop' is their simplicity of color. It only have 1 color with different tone. And I really love the background. I'm still not sure if I should go for 'The Pet Shop' or 'Zoologic' for my background. Still thinking.....

Alan also told me that he might be worried about my characters' body. Right now they have big head and small body. He's afraid that their body might not have the proper physics when I animate it. Well... he asked me to ask Ronald first so that's what I'm most probably going to do before I change my characters.

One more thing Alan asked me to do was think about my title. I don't have a title since I kinda changed my story. Soooo....yes I have to think of a tiltle! It's not called 'The Fall' anymoreee!!!
