LAUAN503 - Weekly update for week of 20/11/17

Major notes :
+ More scenes finished for lines, decided to keep it as clean as possible to save the step of having to re-line everything again post-key animation .
+ Testing with finalised background slides - Fits generally well, should considered some post-production VFX in Clip Stuido or Photoshop the set the character better within the scene. Waiting for Kate to finish up the wave animation to continue with the characters for that scene.
*Notable points : Should maybe considered cutting some scenes even more to reduce coloring work load ? Will discuss with team

LAUAN503: - Weekly update for week of 13/11/17

-As this was MAF week , not much has been happening in the progression of the project. However , on Friday , I managed to finish another roughs for a scene on Friday , which came out looking really good. Matt had some input of the type of action used in the shot , however, I saw it fitting what I'd envisioned in the first place, so I just made some light adjustment

LAUAN503 : Study Task 4 : Lip sync

The experience gained from this has been quite eye opening and helpful as before hand , I've always considered lipsyncing to be a part of the main animation it self rather than treating it as a separate process. I found that through this , though maybe more of a round-about way to work in terms of using multiple software, actually is more efficient and effective, especially if you just want to set up the basic shapes at the correct time and later adding more detail/animation to it . Overall I'm very happy with what I got out of this, especially learning about the "dope" sheet as well, (it was very helpful!)

LAUAN503: Weekly blog for week of 6/11/17

Animation week started off with a bang as I finished doing the rough animation for the first 2 scenes. The feedback on them was great and I personally feel very satisfied with what I did too :  the animation has a good sense of movement , good speed and style. What I probably would like more is a few more frames of tweens to really smooth it out but this is still key animation after all , we can always add the tweens later. On another not , TV Paint has been a wonder for animating as it feels so much better drawing-wise compared to Adobe softwares !

LAUAN503 Weekly blog :for week of 30/10/2017

Nothing major on my part for this week as we're making progess with the backgrounds. We'll begin principle animation next week . On a positive note, Kate and Katie are becoming more confident with their background work and its showing in there work for the background, there are things that still needs help but I'm confident that I can help them sort it out !
