Week 3 - Day 4

Today I spent a bit of time working on the cowboy's textures. After that I chose a shot to block out for animation. I blocked out a shot of the Bartender re-entering the scene after the fight scene.

Week 3 - Day 3

Today I was home, sick after going to the doctors. I contacted my group and told them I would still work on my stuff. So today I finished unwrapping the Cowboy's clothing and began texturing.

Week 3 - Day 2

Today I finished modelling the Cowboy's clothing and hair. It took me a while but I finally got it done. I started unwrapping his clothing after I finished the modelling, and got about half of it done today.

Week 2 - Day 4

Today I continued working on modelling the cow boys clothing. I realized there are a lot of details in his outfit so it might take a while to model. I'm making sure the clothing matches up with the reference while still looking understandable in 3D.

Week 2 - Day 3

Today I did a sketch of the bar for Jamez to colour in, after that I began modelling the clothes for the cowboy.

Week 2 - Day 2

Today I modelled the steampunk Piano and the mirror clock. I also worked with Anni to sort out the shot timing.

Week 2 - Day 1

Today I worked with James to create the new storyboard. We wrote out a list of what happens in order on a sheet of paper, and then we drew out the storyboard including camera and character movements. I then scanned in the paper and compiled it into the storyboard template in PS.
After I was finished I started modelling the clock mirror.

Week 1 - Day 4

Today I designed some more furniture. I made multiple designs for a piano, which can be mix and matched. I also started and almost finished the new storyboard. I worked with Ben to plan out how some of the scenes will be shot and at what angles, and also what kind of specific actions will be in each shot.

Week 1 - Day 3

Today I sketched up some designs for the furniture. First I gathered reference from the internet and websites such as Pinterest. I sketched some bar tables, a separate gaming table for playing poker etc, stools, chairs, a barrel, and a steam punk clock mirror for behind the bar.
After that I fixed up the storyboard a bit, and then began working on the animatic for the afternoon pitch presentation. I managed to finish it 10 minutes before the presentations started.
I think our presentation went pretty well, we got some good constructive criticism for what to change in our story. We got some good pointers and will change some aspects of the story.

Week 1 - Day 2

Today we finished our individual storyboards and looked through each of them. We decided to not use any dialogue for our animation. We chose two storyboards we liked best and combined the best aspects of each together. I drew some extra panels for my storyboard since it was picked as the main one, and scanned it into the computer to place into the storyboard template.
After I finished doing my bit for the storyboard, we each decided to do some character silhouettes for our characters. Anni and I looked through the silhouettes and decided on one we liked the best.
After that I went ahead and started drawing the body for the turn around, I also sketched up some designs for the head shape and face. Once we were happy with that I continued and drew the rest for the body turn around.

Week 1 - Day 1

Day 1

Today we started out by brain storming ideas together for what we would like to do for an animation. We each thought of some words and then individually came up with a few ideas for the animation. We pitched these ideas to each other and then voted on which ones we liked. We ended up merging two of the favourite ideas and then created a short paragraph describing the story for our animation.
After that we worked individually on our own storyboards for the rest of the day.
