We had our first proper music consultation in the AMATA studios at uni yesterday, our music composer Barnaby Fryer had made a scratch track for us to listen to. A couple of weeks ago we gave him the lock down animatic for him to work from, and he had done a decent job for the first try. Prawta and Barnaby discussed for 2 hours on what we wanted the music to sound like, we listened to the track a few times and picked out the bits we liked and the bits that did not fit, and nee

Some of the crew members have struggled with their shot, because of this we have created some new reference videos. Prawta and I got some of our friends to try and do the movement differently to get a variation of the movement to then choose which ones to give to the crew to follow. The videos have been very helpful for the shots to be animated quicker and another shot has been finished. These are some of the photos from us doing the live action references in the studio to sh

Wednesday was spent helping Re-animated filming. We booked out the F7 and GH camera, we got inducted to the F7 and thought the best way to use it for our project.

I coloured about 15 frames with took me about 1 day to finish. This information will help me determined how long a shot will take to colour and get finished. It wil

The first week was very quiet and not much happened as not everyone has come back from holiday just yet. At the first meeting of the year, we welcomed everyone back. I did not set any work to do for the crew over the holidays as I wanted them to have a break. The only thing asked of them was to not forget how to draw or colour the characters. There were not too many at the meeting so I decided to just keep it short and just ask how everyone is doing and if they want to do so

It is the first day back in the studio after Christmas and I wanted to start of slow. My partner had asked me to design a logo for his new band which can not be reveled just yet. I was given the permission to post the progress of the logo, but not the finished one. I had been given a rough sketch of what they were looking at and I was free to do anything thing with those guidelines. This was the simple drawing I was given to work from. I started plating around with it making
