[Major Project] 55: Character Turnarounds; Colour & Wireframe Passes

The music is I Like It That Way 4 (60), purchased on a Home & Student license from Audio Network, which is a longer version of the music used for my now-defunct intro animatic. The character names are written in the font Bubbleboddy Neue, by ZetaFonts on Dafont.

@Phil [Major Project] 54: Character Turnarounds; Colour Pass

I will be setting up the wireframe pass for each of my characters once I have made progress with the Iron + Tablet scene. I rendered out my turnarounds using garagefarm.net at High Priority, which cost between $4 - $6 per 200 frame turnaround; not the $200 total I had been imagining! I have yet to fully eat through all of the 50 free render credits, as negotiated for us by our course leader Phil.

@Phil [Major Project] 53: 'Making Of' Progress 02; Revised Design

Phil I've incorporated your feedback from my previous post, how's this? I've also made the canvas a bit bigger to allow 3mm for colour bleeding, and made sure my graphics & text are all within a 5 to 10mm safety area. I don't know much about printing, do I need to include a bleed in the centre of the double page spread?

@Alan [Major Project] 52: 'Making Of' Progress 01; Early Feedback?

Here are a few pages of my Making Of; all but the cover page are to be treated as double-page spreads. I'm uploading these few pages now in hopes of receiving feedback regarding layout, colour, use of font etc. to hopefully avoid having to make massive changes later. While I wait for feedback, I will continue the Iron-centric portion of my Making Of, alongside my other work.

@Phil [Major Project] 51: Animation/Pre-Vis 01; Collision Scene - Progress 01

Using stepped animation I have been figuring out the key poses for my collision/conflict scene. I have set up five different poses spanning the beginning of the scene to just before the explosion happens. These have been explored with a variety of camera angles, which are shown in their intended order, and numbered to make it easier to provide feedback on specific shots. The current timing of the shots and poses does not represent that of the final animation.

[Major Project] 50: Water Character; Skinning 01 - Skeleton Complete

Once I've created Water's leg IKs, it'll be on to creating the smooth skins and painting skin weights, before rigging her.

@Phil [Major Project] 49: Conflict Scene Posed - Various Shot Tests

I'm getting this scene complete first because it is the most complex of them all, since there are so many interacting pieces. For this scene I will be using multiple shots, so I have tested out various camera angles. Hannah suggested beginning with Shot 1, switching to Shot 2 when Hydrogen 01 lunges at Oxygen, and then to Shot 4 when the chemistry equipment begins to fall. Any feedback on camera shots and/or character posing would be greatly appreciated!

3^RD-PERSON OXY pulls a silly face at HYD 01, making HYD 01 furious. HYD 01 rises up as he raises his fist to punch OXY & lunges at him, knocking the table & causing chemistry equipment to fall toward the floor. Both OXY and IRON reflexively try to catch the falling equipment but OXY accidentally slams into IRON’s chest, causing sparks. Meanwhile HYD 02 tries to hold his brother back, failing this he falls on HYD 01’s back instead. HYD 01 continues to lunge and contacts OXY at the exact moment OXY slams into IRON.

[Major Project] 46: Mini Animations 02; Loading Screen Complete (Silent)

I imagine this would be accompanied by a couple of nice sound effects, such as bubbling/fizzing and popping. I have provided earlier versions of the animation in a separate video; I received various advice from Phil, Jackie & Alan during the creation of the animation.
