Roughs & Keys

Here are some roughs and keyed out scenes from my film the colors look terrible uploaded on here :/

Ugh client work

Sunday (yesterday) I had to work, now usually after work I go home and work on animation for this project. But unfortunately I was asked to film  a actor's reel and I ended up having to stay at work from 11am-1-am that's 14 hours and about 7 hours of work was lost. So I'm going to try to get as much work done today as I can. After going over my schedule I really realized how pressed for time I am, and I don't think I'm putting in enough time during the weekends. What I'm going to do is make sure I'm done with all my homework from other classes BEFORE Friday so I can spend all of Friday and Saturday working on this. (I usually work on other homework before hand). I'm also debating on whether this job is conducive to my film. Is it really worth losing all those hours for a check I won't see till almost two months later?

Animation Making headway

So I have About 11 shots roughed out right now. They just need minor tweaking (things such as uploading assets and making sure timing is right.) I'm hoping that I can take the time this weekend to get them to a point where they are about 90% done. The scene above is one of the meteor shots that I'm working on cleaning up and getting roughed in right now. It stills needs a correct background. I'm also having issues uploading videos on both blogger and youtube. Hopefully that gets corrected in the near future :/

Layouts Part 2

These are improved layouts :) I feel a lot happier about these layouts then the ones I did in Illustrator. Still am not completely happy about them but what can I do if i don't have the skill right now then I don't have the skill, all I can do I strive to improve.

Layouts:Part one

So these are layouts from two of the scenes I'm working on. They are still in the rough phase. I figure I want the characters to stick out a bit more so i excluded line work from the backgrounds.

As you can see they are still "lacking" (lol that's an understatement) , needs shadows and other little details. Quite Honestly I'm not good at backgrounds at all! hopefully I'll get better

WIP:Turnarounds

I honestly didn't like the turnarounds I had done, and since I set about changing the color palettes I thought I might as well change the turnarounds to reflect my changes to the color. Here are some works in progress for my turnarounds. I really adore the design of the bambiraptor for some reason.

Color Palettes

Baby T-rex

Backgrounds

Bambi Raptor

Mother T-rex

During one of the critiques in class a fellow classmate made a comment about the way in which my stuff was colored, I have no idea how to pick a color palette (I honestly just choose whatever colors I like and run with it). So following their suggestions I spent about 2 weeks deciding on my color palettes, and at the suggestion of another friend (he mentioned I tend to over saturate things.) I turned down the saturation and tried to use more muted colors that would work better together. So the images above are the new color palettes for my film.
