In my spare time I try to work on the short animation ideas that flow through ma' noggin'. This is that outlet as well as a window into my mind and soul!
I’m finally going to begin work on my short that I started while attending AiS entitled “School Daze”. For a long time I didn’t even want to look at it just because of all the craziness that ensued during those long days. It’s pretty hard to convey an idea to other people. That much I learned, woo hoo! In any case, I’ll be doing massive redesigns to my backgrounds and characters. Not the main characters but all the other background characters. One of the students that worked with me on the project was heading too much towards a Rugrats vibe. Not for me.
I don’t know, maybe I will redesign the characters. The picture I posted are what the characters look like right now. They feel solid but I also want them to stand out because they feel a little generic right now. On the side of the backgrounds, I’ll keep some, throw out a lot. Most of the ones I did towards the middle of the quarter were rushed due to time constraints. It really didn’t head down the path I wanted to take it while working in school. Most of everything I wanted to keep was made by me and the other animator working on it.
In any case, moving forward is the only way to go. Epexct to see concept art soon!
