CHONG

Here is the Chong turnaround for you guys.

Some notes on cleaning:

FOLLOW THE CHARACTER SHEET

The design is god, and if you draw something that isn't on god, you get smited by god.

SOmethings to keep in mind whne you're cleaning:
Yes it is painstaking and often induces suicidal thoughts. I've been doing it for awhile now..and I know this. Just follow the character sheet and correct the drawings.

CHONG: has tiny feet, don't draw them big. His staff is not a hockey stick, don't draw it like one. Keep his proportions and shapes in mine: refer to the character sheet. Don't forget his wrinkles! his beard is isn't going to change lengths, and it isn't uber long. try to preserve the expressions from the original animation, but fix the things that are wrong. DOn't just trace the picture assuming it's correct: It isn't.

Erase as little as possible, and don't smudge or wrinkle the paper.

WHen I get to cleaning WANG LAK I'll post some more tips. THe dog is pretty easy, and he really isn't in all of the scenes. Also, in a bit I'll take a break and clean and color himand then post that.

Happy working!

The cleaning paper

Ok, so...

With 3 weeks left in the quarter...and thus only 3 weeks to have our short completely finished...Here is yet another schedule.

Tomorrow (week 7) : Everything needs to be tweened by the end of class. The plan is to give everyone something to do over Saturday and Sunday, and have all the cleaning done by Monday. It's do-able, it's just a pain. I'm behind on the backgrounds. Yes, it sucks and I'm sorry, but they're all gunna be done by Monday at the latest, if not before. We also need to figure out WTF is going on with our aspect ratio's. I think I can figure it out.
Week 8: All the cleaning is done at this point, and everything is scanned. All we're doing now is coloring and putting things together. The coloring will be finished over the weekend and by monday on week 9 we are just putting the thing together.

From what I've heard Melissa is back on the team with sound, but we'll keep our own track in production.
The next two weeks are going to be really important to getting this thing done. i know we're all kind of fed up with the project and wishing we had more time, but we just gotta push it out at this point. I think it's do-able, but it's gunna be stressful. Try to keep a positive attitude, and I'll do m y best to divide the work evenly and make sure everything is clear and straightforward.

Basically, we have two weeks to clean, color, and put things together, with the last week being for fine-tuning.. I also need to finish the backgrounds and figure out aspect ratios. It'll get done, but it's a lot.

See you guys tomorrow

why the D-drive

I was under the impression that the lab computers get wiped ever night; or at least the ones connected to the cameras. Maybe not? You can always just put a folder on the network share. Everything will get re-shot and re-shot anyway so...yeah.

-Katie

Stupid computers

SO! I just looked at my the project file and it didn't save the new version. So, Cody I'm gonna ask you to put the scratch track on the computer next time you're here and most scenes are gonna have to be re-shot. Thank you everybody!

Something New

Hey, Everyone,
Just so you know, I added a folder to the D drive of the shooting computer in the lab for our stuff. This is where I put my last animation and the animatic project file. This way, even if we're not around each other we can see progress and put it into the correct part in the animatic. ENJOY!!!

ink and paint

Alrighty,
I took Lisa's character designs and went over them in pencil, similar to the manner that we will be "inking" the entire film. I then took the agreed upon color schemes and painted.

So far I've finished Wang Lak.

-Katie

For Katie!

Here you go Katie. Enjoy yourself.

ROBY THE DOGGIE! YAAAAY!

Layout Sheet

BY FRIDAY:
-Layout Sheet along with the Layouts for the scene

PLEASE DOWNLOAD AND USE:
LAYOUT SHEET

This will save on time for us by keeping all info for a scene in a file folder (I'll get some before Friday) along with this sheet. This makes sure we know what scene the layouts are for and everything else.

FIELD GUIDE SIZE: Plan for 11x11 for now. Since computer paper is smaller, it could get tricky as to how we're going to animate with it but another thing we'll deal with on Friday.

Taiko/Teegan DOG!

LAYOUTS MUST BE DONE BY FRIDAY!! NO LATER!!

Moo face.

On my computer the video is running at intervals of 2 seconds...in other words not running at all.

Okay, so.

The plan is, once again, to meet on Monday at 4 to group up, look at what we have, and show Roby the animatic we have ( which is 50 seconds). Also, everyone needs to come with a layout done.

Lisa is doing scene 7, the "pocket take"

Chad is doing scene 20: "Wang poses and starts towards the camera."

Eric is doing scene 22 the "birds eye view of the fight as the dumpling flies upwards and back down".

I will take care of a few of the still shots that deal primarily with the restaurant. That will include, at least, scenes 4 and 6 (thus far).

Also, by monday I'll have some color proofs for us to look at. Basically, I'd like us to have a few scenes done by Friday, since we were supposed to have been finished with the keys next week. Considering all of the still shots we have, it -is- plausible, but we need to buckle down.

If I can figure out how to pose a video up here I'll put the animatic up. I'll also burn it to a DVD to give to Mellissa so she can get going on the audio.

Also (yeah thats right, not done yet), I'm going to take some time to go through the scenes and figure out what the backgrounds we need are.

Thats all for now folks, hope to see you Monday.
