Major scenes completed from today

 

This is the opening scene when the boy's parents force him to leave his room.

This is the scene before the family drives off to their new home.

This is the scene inside the car which shows that the boy is inside so it's clear the car has significance as later scenes will only show the exterior.

Major final animation

This is it, the final animation, the culmination of all these months and blog posts. There was a slight hesitation on "WHEN" to post it leading up to it due to rendering times, but as it's complete and there's no reason to add extra stress and upload it on the last day, which is the 18th of May, I'll upload it now.

PRE-VISUALIZATION FOR FILM WITH JASON MICHAEL HALL continuing shot blocking

 Anything that does not fit in a master file, like lights for instance is better suited for work files. When you want things to disappear in the same scene you can keyframe their visibility, like broken windows, for example.   Pointing is a very bad action in animation. When a character points it shows no: body language, the movement of the camera, the composition of the scene, or cinematography skills. All these should be used to tell the story without pointing. Pointing is a lazy shortcut that means you lack artistic vision. A left-to-right screen direction is great for action as it is how we normally read in the West, and by keeping it consistent it makes the camera less chaotic. The more scenes you block out, te easier it is to see how they compliment each other in the sequence. It just helps with new shots and improving existing ones. Cutting is great also, like angles, inside a place when it's normal, outside what changes it and inside again to show the new state, this m...
