Last day of class...

Finally! The last day before Christmas vacations!

I just made sure that I got all the files from my project in the Dropbox and everything seems to be in order.

On other notes... Wow, it was cold today... 28 degrees. I haven't slept, yet I'm even more awake that if I would have sleep a few hours... still, a little shaky and slow.

I'm looking forward to see the animations from my classmates. That shall be fun!

It was a nice class. I learned how to speed things up to be able to complete them timely, and a few tricks in Flash, like the motion guide or how to make animated symbols.

I don't have anything else to say... Thank you, Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Oh, here's the final animation again... (it's the same from two posts ago)

Schedule and BreakDown

Ok, back!

Remember, this is just an estimate...





Thanks!

What's left...

Hi everyone,

Since I left the whole scheduling thing aside to go straight into work and make sure I was able to finish, I will have to calculate the hours and estimate the time employed in it.

Hopefully the blog will provide me with a guide to follow, although it's not going to be as accurate.

I will upload the information as soon as I have it.

See you in a while,

Jose

DONE!

Finally! Phew!

Here it is!
Enjoy! :)

And nowwwwwwwww..... z Z z Z z z Z z zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

Almost there...

Yes. I finally am 2 scenes away from finishing the animation.

What I'm missing:
-Adjusting water levels.
-Fix animation issues.
-Put some music to it.
-Write credits.

I'm jugglin' time here, but hopefully I'll be able to record my own tune to it.

If I don't finish today, tomorrow it will be done. But I'm aiming as to finish those 2 scenes today.

See you,

J

The saddest update up-to-date. :(

This weekend was a hostile takeover from my Advanced Modeling class, so all hours were sucked up into polygon/vertex tweaking. (I needed to have a full human body set for today).

I was able to work a little more after class, but as soon as Friday showed up... it was Modeling all the way.

This won't happen this week. Because it's fish animation time starting NOW!

Update!

Hey everyone!

What can I say... I'm still animating, and will be doing the same for the next days in order to get this done. I'm having some trouble with the mouths I drew for the lip-synch, since all references show you happy talks. It was ok during the fighting scenes, because the fish get this sarcastic look because they are smiling while fighting, but once the story becomes more dramatic, you need to tone them down and have smile-less sad talks. Just so you have an idea of what I'm talking about...


A lil' disturbing, huh?


Time to keep animating. Bye!

Update

More more animating... I'm even closer to the sad part.

That's it for now. Less writing, more working!
