Layout!

Hey guys! For those interested, here's the latest pass of what my short film is looking like. Quite a few changes since my last post, and right now its a mixed bag of revised storyboards and layouts. And to be honest, I'm a little insecure in my abilities to make strong backgrounds, so I'm taking a simple approach with them! I feel like its all starting to take shape. And like I said, our term is starting to work on layouts, which means everyone's starting to make the jump to 3D. So there's a little sense of isolation for me. But friends in my term stay super helpful and seem genuinely excited to see a traditional short in progress.

I've also been learning the value of showing it to as many of my peers as I can. I've not only incorporated ideas from my mentor, but from other students at AM, friends at work, blog commenters.

So thanks for all of your comments on the last pass. I really get a lot out of them. And as always, your thoughts, good or bad, are welcomed again! Encouraged even!

Thanks for takin a look!

In other random news, heres a sketch I did tonight to get away from the film for a bit. Such a cool character, And I dont even really like Lucy Liu.

Yup, its Uncle Manny fight night again this weekend, probably his biggest one yet versus Oscar DelaHoya! So I thought I do a quick ditty to keep with tradition.Go Pacquiao!

  3. ha, too funny Bobby! I like the changes! You might want to try a sound/music pass on it. Getting audio on it could help tighten up the pacing.

  4. I agree about the audio. The newer transition with the star field shifting and bird/bat swooping is a nice touch. Is this going to be 3D or 2-D?

  6. Thanks boys,spam and Katy!

    You're absolutely right about the music. Its funny because I've been back and forth trying to think of the right soundtrack since the very beginning, but I still got nada. I have to buckle down and start seriously looking! I'm open to suggestions!

    Again thanks for takin a look...

  7. Yeah , I'm working on another short for someone but I have complete creative freedom from an audio track they gave me. I just graduated this year from doing an indy film , some people wait a while (like a year or two) before they get back into that mind set. But I'm a sucker for punishment...and getting better at what I've now Loved to do, design and make those designs come alive.
