The Day Before Hand In!

My final post! Just seems so weird, what now? have i truly finished? Yes i have, i have no more time left, i have a fully finished film, thats it...

Just feels so surreal, 3 years of university all to come to an end so quickly. Going out with a bang with my final short. I have enjoyed every minute of this process and will be sad to leave the studio for the last time.

I feel more inspired than ever though funnily enough, i thought i would be tired and fed up with any kind of animation but i want to get stuck in with a new project.

Hello Again

Oops,

So i haven't been updating for a while, but this is simply because I've been pushing forward with this project, and i think its going well.

I've had ups and downs with this project, but overall i think i'm doing well. Less than 3 weeks left (Holy Hell) and i'm almost at the finish line, which is both exciting and absolutely terrifying!!

I'm currently at the point of putting my animation together, hopefully I've shot all i need to and can just put it together easily... wait? EASILY? No really, i think?

I was slightly worried last week on the last day before we could get back into the studio during the Easter hols, I'm back in again tomorrow. Yes it was a dark time, i had trouble when looking at all my animations roughly put together in premiere pro (Uh oh) it looks rubbish i told myself, its doesn't flow together, IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!!! So i decided to have time away from my project and try to forget about it for the first time in months. I then showed a clip of my puppet Nan to my Mother, which went down.. well? Almost making her cry! Oh dear!! It most definitely touched a soft spot, which gave me hope that i can make this work!!

I've been looking at making my cut outs 3D in after effects, which i practiced with one scene and it seemed to work pretty well, not sure if it will work on everything but i'm going to experiment tomorrow with the backgrounds. I still need to trace the backgrounds so i can create a boil effect to make it a bit more interesting.

Today I've been trying to put my puppet scenes together, and i think they worked well.

I can't wait to finish my film just so i can add sound!!!!
