THE PROCESS

So I started this class not knowing it was based around a short film. If I could redo this class it would definitely be not during a major class like senior 2. Anyway, I came up with the premise for this film, which is on a much larger scale, in concept design. I then asked myself, what part of this idea can I turn into a short piece. And then it hit me. George Washington is most famous for, with the exception of cherry trees, Valley Forge, wooden teeth, and never lieing, for crossing the Delaware.

I then redesigned the George character, as I knew the original wasnt very good. I came up with something that I think goes very well with the semi serious, but mostly funny idea i have in my head. After that I did some quick storyboards, and on to the artsy stuff.

If i could change anything about this project, the main thing is I would animate it traditionally, since that is what im most comfortable with, and then import the files into illustrator for color. I would definitely have someone else do the backgrounds for me, cuz ill be honest, im not very good at that stuff. Id also try and consult with someone about overall colors, for this film that i turned in, i just kinda was throwing "whatever" colors in it. Another thing I would change, is i would go back and animate all the little things, for instance when he crashes on the boats, i want them to go into the water, and break and stuff. I also want to put other sailors on those boats, along with water splashes when the water is disturbed.

All in all, id say what i turned in can for now be considered a film, but later it will become a rough animatic for what i really want it to look like, and you know what, im cool with that, because now im excited for a film, which has never happened for me.

FINAL submit

well, i didnt make it to the last scene, and due to some stupid western digital hard drive issues, it no longer has any sound, hurrayyyy.

All scenes are for all intents and purposes, animated

alright, so, as far as this class goes, this project is animated. ideally id like to go back in, and where i have motion tweens, animate everything for real. Some of the arcs need to be fixed, but as a rough animation, ill let it slide for now. Next im going to go in and try and get at least one scene colored, just to show what itll look like. O snap, and while this beast is processing, i just remembered that i forgot to finish the second scene, so i guess ill do that first, then the color.

some more shit

alright, so now the scenes go in the right order, cept i put what is supposed to happen in the third scene, in the 1st, so that way i didnt have to make another scene, since its the same one...if that makes sense, so anyway this is the order, scene one till when george pauses, then to two, then back to one for the second half of what is happening, then to the third one, enjoy.

3rd scene rough riding

alright the third scene is roughed in, this is what it looks like


and dont forget, right when george stops in the first shot, he should cut to the third shot, and then back to the second one...dont forget

second scene



ok so im not sure what happened, but imagine, that after george stops moving in the first shot, that it cuts to the third shot, with no pause in the beginning, and then after that comes back to this first shot, where he will jump off of this snowy bank, leading into what is now the second shot(supposed to be the third one), where he will be jumping from boat to boat.

WEEKEND?

Weekend? What weekend? o thats right, i was working on senior 2 and some stupid research paper.....which is 8 pages.
