Yuck!

I finally had a bit of time to work on the film. I want to send a newer rough cut to the Vice Provost of MSU. I have written him a letter to ask to be let back in the program. I let my consecutive enrollment slip by a couple years. I explained why in my letter. I am hoping he will take a look at my rough cut to see I haven't been sitting on my hands.

As for this part of the film.. I wanted to film a dog with a bad taste in it's mouth, but none of my neighbors were out walking their dogs tonight, so I downloaded some pictures from Flickr instead.


Oh, and take a look on iTunes...do a search for "Strange Days on Planet Earth" in the iTunes store. The podcasts I have been working on were number 1 on the iTunes Podcast store yesterday. They are free to download. It was quite a big deal for them to top the charts and to be advertised on the first page of iTunes.

Sunday

Here's the fruits of today's labors. It will sure be nice be let out into the light again when this is done!

Caveman sits on a log and waits

Here's an animation for my elephant scene. Going to take a break then do a "how to animate" faces tutorial. I had to stumble through making this animation. I wanted his mouth to be closed but his eyebrows to move. I think the tutorial will help.

Bonafied rough cut intro

Here's the official rough cut intro. Very exciting! As of the end of day tomorrow, I will be sending the whole 8 and half minute rough cut to my advisors in Montana.

Please keep in mind all the music, narration, animation, green screening, and rotoscoping are place holders. I will be re-doing everything with a fine tooth comb once I have the some feedback from those that be in Montana.

Yeah! PS. Sorry for the ugly text over the top, but I wanted to put a © statement.

Missing ingredient

Worked on laying out the rest of my timeline tonight. Looks like it's going to be about 8 minutes unless I add more to the script. I am pretty sure I am going to need at least 15 minutes for my thesis requirement. So I may need to do a sequel or think of another short kid's film that would be a good compliment to "Why don't we ride zebras".

Here's a quick sequence I worked on tonight.
