FOR ALLISON:)

HERE YOU GO, THOUGHT IT MIGHT HELP SOMEWHAT.

READ ME!

i gotta miss the meeting tonight. i need to catch up on some of the other classes im taking and i dont have much visible progress yet. i made my after effects compositions bigger resolution wich was basically me starting all over with all the resizing. and i did some more clean up. greg gave me a few scenes and im coloring stuff right now. sorry you guys. ill see you around most likely and if not ill see you at the next meeting. ill post what i got when i export it.

Dunno how many of you are reading this

I'm working super hard, and as of tonight have a total of 55 seconds DONE. There are some parts that I could go back to and improve, but if need be I'll leave well enough alone. Can't wait to see you guys this meeting, I hope that my work will be a pleasant surprise this time!

I will tell ya editing together fish like things is super fun. But Hears more added, and more to come.

Thanks Hasan, I'll try those things. The reason I haven't really been working on the backgrounds much is Corel really lags bad if the brush size is bigger than 40. I think it might be because I'm working at such a high resolution, but I'd rather spend more time on slowly building the background than making the resolution smaller. :)

post!

nice to see people using this blog like it was supposed to be used. allison, your stuff is looking a ba-zillion times better. you background might look better either complementary to the fire ball thing-ee or i was thinking a soft yellow, soft enough to push it back in space. maybe your background can be that cloudy design you had in that test that you didnt like. it could be very soft clouds cause your part is so soft you need something that screams soft and gentle. but that fire is the awesome, and until you change that background, its gonna be had to see how cool the animation is, when its sitting on that dry blue curtain looking thing. even making it flat and not a curtain would be better. maybe...

More progress

I know it seems like it's going slow, but the huge screens of red and orange are extremely time consuming. I will have more for the meeting (I promise)

You tube is being mean to me tonight. But anyway heres a little more of my progress I'll have more up shortly.

Newspaper Article

Carpenter forwarded me this email:

Hello,
We are running a story in Lake Erie Life Style magazine about the upcoming collaboration between your department and the Erie Philharmonic. Could you please send us a still image or two of the animation to use in the magazine. We will give a photo credit to the university or you. Sorry, but I would need this as soon as possible to meet our deadline. Look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you,
Mary Solberg

So tonight we should each find an image from our respective animations and send it to me (introducing_emy@yahoo.com) and I'll foward it on to her and Carpenter.

Updated Beginning

Here's some progress on the redone beginning. I think I'm going to follow my storyboard instead of go with the fireworks, it's just causing me problems. Will post more tomorrow.

NEW TRANSITION FROM PT2 -3

changed some things up. now you can see the entire animation of the water splashing and all that. i cleaned up a few of the final scenes. and it looks more like a cut into michelles part rather than a smooth transition. i dont know what would be better. be nice to see some bubbles coming from the ball as it goes downward. i had the ball making bubbles as it fell offscrean, might help the cut to see some bubbles in the beginning of your scene michelle! let me know!
