[PRODUCTION] Week 1 - Getting started


Since the 02/01/2017 I have been in production of When Dream Became Data, as stated before, I have estimated that I will need to do atleast 3 shots a week in order to make the deadline I have set for myself, the total shots I have done this week however are 7, so just over double the amount I had previously set. One of the things you may notice while watching this is that the character 'The Old Animator' is drawn very roughly, this is a conscious decision as I want to do all the colouring and in-between animation at the very end of the production, there is also a shot of Max the Cat which requires animation, however, due to location circumstances I haven't been able to use my light-box do do any scenes where he is animated. Animating Max the Cat will become a number one priority in due time, as previously stated, I feel his scenes will be the most difficult to actually animate.

I had a problem with one of the shots, that being shot 5, the second shot where we see the Animator drawing Max the Cat, this was because I had previously broke the groups of the hand after the first shot of the animator drawing Max, so I had to redraw and regroup the hand, making it slightly different the the first shot, however I don't think it is massively noticeable.

I am very happy with the progress I have made this week, I feel that if I can keep this up I will have the animation done in no time, I still need to factor in the 'Max the Cat' scenes and the 'Clay Animation' shot, because of this I need to do more than intended during each week, however I feel like this is going to be achievable.
