T3W5, Friday

Actually did some work today. Personally I'm astounded.

T3W4, Tuesday

Dane pointed out that it looked like Aye was looking at his hands. Decided to use this and as suggested redrew the head in the first frame to make it clearer that Aye is focusing on his hands. This also provides additional movement for the beginning of the animation where there was no planned movement or dialogue.

T3W4, Monday

Have moved frames to a new document and synced it with the dialogue. Currently adding stick figures for breakdowns and some additional keys to give the movement more "nuance", focusing on anticipation.

T3W3, Thursday

Have mostly followed the poses from the video reference with modifications made for character and the situation. Will need to clean up the roughs a bit and redraw the faces after syncing frames to dialogue. Currently there is no timing.

T3W3, Wednesday

Filmed video reference for the animation. Have skipped thumbnails and have finished two rough keys. Pretty happy with how the movement is framed. Haven't decided how the dialogue will sync with the movement yet. Think there are three major accents? Will probably have about eight keys by the end.

T3W3, Tuesday

Making a decent start on the second dialogue animation. Currently practicing drawing the character by copying the model sheet while also trying to figure out the character's structure. Aye doesn't have a neck or shoulders that makes him a little harder to construct. Haven't started thumbnails yet.

T3W2, Thursday

Had a tough time readjusting back into my regular routine after the break. As a result I am very behind. Currently practicing the character for the animation in flash. Will probably not meet the deadline. Have some ideas for the cut and have already done a (very) rough background.
