The last day before Christmas vacations!<br /><br />I just made sure that I got all the files from my project in the Dropbox and everything seems to be in order. <br /><br />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.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to see the animations from my classmates. That shall be fun!<br /><br />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.<br /><br />I don't have anything else to say... Thank you, Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!<br /><br />-Jose<br /><br />Oh, here's the final animation again...

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...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwKH4Ed4cI46dxzp6_Zo5sWiMbASi06SKrp-c_w6TlJoSkJxIli4tCvhdm9BZtdTXmODs4UOh0V9W8j3TXBm4Ehc3_KuqiNrrZ7xA8T4TTZAnZuuxKQl8HRV4Yeczxib8wcbzwet7nivU/s1600-h/sample.PNG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 312px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwKH4Ed4cI46dxzp6_Zo5sWiMbASi06SKrp-c_w6TlJoSkJxIli4tCvhdm9BZtdTXmODs4UOh0V9W8j3TXBm4Ehc3_KuqiNrrZ7xA8T4TTZAnZuuxKQl8HRV4Yeczxib8wcbzwet7nivU/s400/sample.PNG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265162470578077362" /></a><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">A lil' disturbing, huh?</span><br /><br /><br />Time to keep animating.

It's an interesting mix plus I don't think I'll have the time left to draw them.<br /><br />I'm about to get to the sad part of the story, but I'm still missing a few shots before that. I got all my dialogue sounds organized in the timeline the way they should be, plus I cut one line that didn't really mattered storywise.<br /><br />That's it, back to animating!<br /><br />-JJosé G.

I've been working further on in the animation, but still a long way to go! So I'd better stop writing now and keep animating to get this done!<br /><br />Bye,<br /><br />-JoseJosé G.

I've also been working on other details like the title screen for the animation.<br /><br />In other notes, I fixed my guitar (it was making some distorted sounds), so after getting all action set, I'm good to record the music for the animation. The missing 2 lines from one of my voice-actors will hopefully be recorded by Saturday.<br /><br />That's all for now. Got to go and move a lot of lips!<br /><br />-JJosé G.

I also recorded the new line that was missing from one of the voice actors in order to make the animation shorter. We also had a little jam, to test out the song I was composing for the piece. Nothing too fancy, but should do for the length of Drama Bowl. No music was recorded though, since I'm waiting to have everything timed to make it fit more appropriately.<br /><br />For the rest, I've been working on the mouth positions for both Dilly and Roy in 3 positions: front, side and 3/4-view. And I recreated the set in Maya...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP6MbZzJPiEa9U8CpwQEDcB9XbegYXYL3hLmKJdJny18Pw2S5nVylSS_nwDTMBoW6ZGMFubtxQAEolD6msT9QGjNYzFKzoTK7y-TNatA9eN3ZmGnkkQ4kLnOm-gMo7qjU-9RvpT2-iPj8/s1600-h/bowl01.png"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP6MbZzJPiEa9U8CpwQEDcB9XbegYXYL3hLmKJdJny18Pw2S5nVylSS_nwDTMBoW6ZGMFubtxQAEolD6msT9QGjNYzFKzoTK7y-TNatA9eN3ZmGnkkQ4kLnOm-gMo7qjU-9RvpT2-iPj8/s400/bowl01.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259212008362152402" /></a><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Is the fish's owner a vampire? Who knows!</span><br /><br />During the previous quarter, I was integrating Flash into Maya, a somewhat complicated procedure but with beautiful results, since you can get your flat 2-D characters to cast shadows into a 3-D environment. Behold! 2.5-D Animation! :)<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxOkefZh7_-ex53ZjLE6El64ISnjiUi-FUOVZ4-OuMBkH0J3cPztd0ERJxsaNOuDNVPOg_OlMBp32IrGwu5cg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br />I'm adding this clip, so you get an idea of the results... There's a problem with the shadows in it, but it's the only clip I'm carrying with me at the moment.<br /><br />For "Drama Bowl", I think I'll just import the 3-D environments into Flash, then probably either do some rotoscoping with it, or leave them like that to contrast with the action. The Flash into Maya would be nice for it, but knowing we're just 10 classes away, not a chance of getting it done that way.<br /><br />Today, I'm working on some mouth positions I'm missing.<br /><br />See you,<br /><br />-JoseJosé G.

I got rid of two characters: Whiskie and Sexy Fish (Not that I plan using them later on, but they just won't do for this one if I want to finish it and make it look good at the same time).<br /><br />I still need to update storyboard and make it based on the new script, and to write the script in table style (3 columns).<br /><br />I don't have any major updates, since I was making sure I had all my tutorial files up to date and most part of the weekend was spent on modeling for another class. What can I say... midterms.<br /><br />Meanwhile, here's the script:<br /><br />DRAMA BOWL – By Jose G. Landron – Oct 8, 2008 Revision<br /><br />DILLY<br />It’s always the same!

The whole thing could work, but having a time-limit and 2 more classes, it's going to be a tough goal to achieve without sacrificing quality over quantity, so let's go the other way. <br /><br />I'll make it shorter. Thanks for your recommendations, guys.<br /><br />JoseJosé G.

I added some sounds to the beginning just so you get an idea of how it goes. Still, is unfinished... I almost finished 1 of my 2 script pages. Oh! And I have a little extra on the script different from what I have uploaded (Storyboard and script is subject to change, after applying recommendations).<br /><br />Blogger wasn't cooperating with the video upload (it has been all day processing...), so I just uploaded it to YouTube.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="350"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/x9qh6vxID_k"> </param> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/x9qh6vxID_k" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"> </embed> </object><br /><br />I didn't touch Tutorial 5 (LipSync) any more to be able to do the storyboard, but you'll see it online soon. I promise.<br /><br />Just a little extra: This is the script version the voice actors got:<br /><br />DRAMA BOWL – By Jose G.

Walk CycleIt's almost 4am, and I finally finished the Walk Cycle. Tonight was another of those violent Savannah nights, full of building alarms, speeding cars, non-stop police sirens, and all that jazz... Why do I say all these? Well, just so you know why Mr. Artpuke ended up with a gun in his hand.<br /><br />The main idea for this cut-out character was taking pieces of the works of many famous artists (Dalí, Da Vinci, Picasso, Michelangelo, Lichtenstein, Goya and Van Gogh) and combining them together into this pseudo-rooster old man. How many pieces can you match with their owner? I ended up having this mess of a creature (Trust me, not even Mr. Artpuke was hapy about his looks).<br /><br />For the blink, I just removed the eye, and put a tiny pencil for two frames. The animation was made at 15 fps (frames per second).<br /><br />The reference video I used had very little swing on the right arm, as if he was carrying something, so I placed an object in his hand.<br /><br />Enough said, here's "Mr. Artpuke Is Gone":<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyfOeXv5eDYDWZmZHjFonLThmRaaQ3hYE6WLvW8zPkKa8bCGkOtgiJPf2BtbHKqvYxla1DLicFtON85dQDbFA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br />Any other question, I'll be happy to answer.<br /><br />I'm off to bed, or I'll fall off the chair,<br /><br />G'nite everybody!<br /><br />JoseJosé G.

(kiddin'!)). Down here, you can see Plátano Man (Plantain Man) on his usual stroll to work. I made a total amount of 12 frames, then copy and pasted them to match the steps and get him across the screen. From Muybridge, I got 10 steps, but since some images were missing, I inbetweened 2 frames. It moved so fast on ones, so I shot it on twos (2 frames of the same picture). Still, I feel it slips a little in some parts... but hey! The reference almost emulated Michael Jackson's MoonWalk, so don't expect Christmas! Besides, he's Plantain Man... Have you ever tried walking with plantain feet?<br /><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxvx3S2-otV4p3Vrr7ynAqITARDqbVY2MciHxPYg_vR2sTAFGGiqu0onH9wKzQQ4hKXzjbjlamG9Ct5KIIB0Q' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br />The next one is supposed to be me, using a reference video of myself walking around. This one was a tough one... 160 frames... The reasons it is so wobbly: 1. It's shot on ones. 2. I drew it using my Wacom tablet, instead of the Cintiq 21UX. Yes, I could have shot it on twos to make it less wobbly... yet I enjoy watching how energetic I look this way, so I kept it. :-D<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzvQITPx-sPn93b_Sffl1fliT-jYDBXOEpLbb5D_xCbDmvtbPXucIh5_evqbe_DR8JCn108u5dhucKYp0uRkA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br />Alright, bye!<br /><br />-JoseJosé G.
