Happy happy yay

Its been a wonderful,inspirational, and productive past couple of weeks. The characters are starting to come alive, the story tweaks are working well, the look development is extremely promising, and the passion I have for this project has never been stronger. It really is turning into my vision. I feel like my past 2 films got away from me to early in the production. I had big visions for them, and then I gave up on 90% of the visions because they were "impossible". Well, theres no "impossible" on this project. Im making the film I want, and the way I want. Its gonna take longer, its gonna be harder, but its gonna be a lot better in the end.
Wahooo.

Updating myself

I'm putting this here mostly just to keep myself updated on were I'm at. I'm currently finishing up look development/texturing on all the characters (6 total). This will take about 1 more month. At that point I'm going to start rigging them. I'll also start putting together an animatic of the film. This time I plan on putting the entire film together in storyboard/animatic form, complete with sound, before I move into animation. This will help with the pacing of the film, and help me notice any problem areas well before they are in animation (too late to fix).
So, thats the plans. Things are moving right along. Slowly but surely.

Thanks for reading,
Eric

Look Development

Recently I've been toying with some ideas on a fresh new look for this short film. This is a quick test I did that I'm very happy with. It looks extremely cool when animated. I'll upload a vid soon.

Back from Italy with much gained inspiration

Well, I'm back from a 2 week vacation in Italy. What an amazing place. Everything there just oozes inspiration. I'm moving right along with the short film. Lots of work to go, but Ive never been one to turn down a challenge =)
