Judge week…
So I showed people the character designs and the story board that I had come up with so far.
(this story board)
Then I asked them these three questions. Are the character designs cohesive?
Is the story readable and make sense with the actions depicted?
What do you think of the time I have and if I will be able to finish in time?
For the most part the answers that I got for question one was that yes the two character designs were cohesive and seemed to be from the same story. Though they would like to see the male character colored. Question two’s answers were that the story made sense but there were very few story boards and they would like to see more so that they could get a better idea of what was going to happen. They also suggested working on the composition for a few of them.
Question three was a harder one but got some pretty good answers. They said that if I stick to my schedule and don’t procrastinate like I do with everything then i should be able to animate this short section of the much longer story. Lots of don’t procrastinate was the main answer to this one.
Now for the next few weeks what I plan on doing. (It’s been adjusted from the first plan.) Week 1: Key Frame, inbetweening
Week 2: inbetweening
Week 3: inbetweening, (color?)
Week 4: color, sound, and editing
Week 5: Touch up and present.
This is a rough plan but I hope to stick pretty closely to it.
And the reworked story board is this one. I think I might of put in to many boards this time…
Oh and as for the mountain design and timing for the piece. I have the timing roughed out but since i redid the story board i am also reworking the timing and the mountain/forest designs are being done and will be up shortly.
