*M* Another scene finally done

Now that my Diss draft has been handed in, I don't need to worry bout it too much for now. Has given me time to do more with the animatic.

Have been struggling with this a bit because the two characters are coming towards the "camera". I hate perspective, but this has been a good challenge for me.

*M* Final Cut Woes, And Raven Box Happenings

Well, I had an "epic fail" on Final Cut Pro. I had some gorgeous editing going yesterday, and almost finished a decent chunk until suddenly the program froze and crashed. I was really gutted!

On the bright side, trying to catch up on Raven Project work. Here's some edits of the original pic I did a while ago




The top one seems to be the favourite, maybe a little fainter though.

Sophie gave me some other pointers on how it should look.


She found this fab pic. She really likes the crowns in this, and thinks that would be something cool to use in the wallpaper texture. I agree! Will really make the box look more patriotic!



Also, in case it is of interest, these are pictures of Bran's actor's house! Its really unusually decorated. :D

*M* EEEEEEEEEEEELZ


Dunno whether you can tell, but I started losing steam by the last two shots.The third shot makes me laugh! May have to change that one!

I was working in the library at college on these, I found that I got way more done in there. Libraries  have that atmosphere that makes you feel like doing tonnes of work! Ab fab!

I should also mention that I'm working in Final Cut to bring the the work so far together into a vid. I can make sure everything works smoothly, and play around with the settings a tad.

*M* Animatic frame update

















I hate drawing perspective, especially when there's flippers involved >__<

First sequence of frames are a bit naff, just trying something out. Wanted the audience to see boy before he heads for caves. Also wanted a reason for writing to disappear


Its getting there I guess!
