finding the middle ground between under and over-saturated. I think these look good.

wave test

dirtying it up some more.

old film look test.

yellow submarine has company.

my companions as I hunch in front of the screen, pushing pixels.

2012 animatic with rough sound.

early animatic, with rough sound design.

imua!

"I love animation." that's the look. like you've been living in a cave.

seq14 rough composite done. only three more sequences to go (although seq17 isn't animated, yet, unfortunately - lots of sand in that one, still). aim to have a very rough cut up by monday. this week has seen solid forward movement, and hopefully that will carry over into tidy-up compositing and then waves and clouds.

section of seq12

you can't see the tidal wave yet, but there is one.

what will happen to me...

...if I don't finish this film?at least the yellow submarine mug will arrive in a few days.

seq07 rough composite

these rough composites retain many artifacts to be eliminated, namely the borders and paper/background layers, amongst other things. the timing is rough, to be trimmed down, and wave and general cloud animation remains to be animated.
