1. Produce a full PRODUCTION PACKAGE for next class! In that I need the following:
- Character Designs (with turnarounds, with digital color, and with multiple facial expressions and poses (6 facial expressions per characters, 3 different poses!)
- Environment Designs (All key environments for your story. Everyone must have at least 3.)
- Prop designs, etc.
- One completed storyboard with a TIMED-OUT Animatic. This animatic and storyboard will be a working production. In class next week, we will talk resources for producing your animation. Think about what you need to accomplish it in terms of sound, art, time (SOOPER IMPORTANT-AY!), drawing skills, and technology. I'd like to know your needed resources in a blog post before monday.
Include questions you have too! Speaking of new resources:
Look at the following
toonboom videos over the week:
- Scene Setup
- Character Building
- Library
- Cut Out Animation
- Inverse Kinematics
- True 3D Space (Pro)
- Sound
These videos will show you all you need to know about advanced resources you have to make great animated works in Toonboom! I want you to look at each of them, and make a list of how each could benefit your production. Now is the time you stop looking at technology as foreign material, and think about how you can shape it to fit your animation!
Read the document I put on the server: Dynamics of the animated drawing. Write what this class, and what that document has done to help you push forward in your abilities. Mention awesome new techniques you want to apply to your new animated film!
This is a week to push yourself! We spent so much time talking about volume in animation today to push your skills as far as they can go! As always, email me if you have any questions!
