#25 = we will see in the next ride.


The deadline is here but the film is not done yet. There are few scenes were not colour yet, and the highlight was not added, check them in the coming few weeks, they will be here.


So let's make a quick summary of the things I have learned in this film:
  • Storyboard
  • Making a full film
  • More about Tvpaint
  • Camera movement
  • Creating tone and background
One thing I trying to work on is to let the audience have a stable focus on the film, which I am weak in the previous works, the shot always ends up in mess up the position of objects in the film (left and right, up and down).  

trying to stable the focus spot...
Secondly is following the feedback from the formative, the film has too many subtle moving in the first few approaches. Therefore, I changed some view of the shot and added more cameras for different moves.

And something I found difficult but still did some approach on:
  • Consistence character (body shape, facial expression)
  • Scenes with moving angles
  • Thinking about the proper colour
I am working on the film until the last minutes, not sure how far I can go to at this moment. It is disappointing that I cannot finish the film on time even I got a 7-day extension, it is hard to catch from the one month behind. However, the project really let me knows the things I am weak on so I can work with it on the holiday.

The animation looks flat to me and the facial expression doesn't help much on storytelling and many postures and weird. I really need more practice and learn to make a better film.

Also,  the firework scene was canceled, I will try to do it in these few weeks but I cannot manage to make it before the deadline.

And finally, here is the film... (The pure line version will show the action in a better way, which can be found in the previous post but this one mainly demonstrating the tone of the film and the last bit I made before the summative.)
