Festivals:

This week has been a reality check. I am not even close to where I should be when it comes to my film. As of right now I am looking for away to condense some of my shots while still keeping the story intact. I am also looking of a way to make the clowns more menacing. As of right now I am stumped…

 Looking festivals is a welcome distraction from the stress of getting my film done. Its weird to think that my film could be screened at a festival. I just hope the finished product is worthy.

 Here is a list of some of the festivals that I am looking into.

Rough Main Character Animation:

The last few weeks working on my film have been rough. I seem to be in a slump, and everything I animate seems to come out messed up. I have also had a lot of work due for other classes. I am going to have to set aside more time for my film each week. Now that the semester is half way through I am starting to stress out more and more about the movie. I did get some work done that I like. I started working on some of my animation for my main character. It is still rough and the eyes slide around. That should be an easy fix. It is coming along. I am working on breaking this animation into its parts and adding the boiling hold. This part is very tedious but it has to be done….

Rough Cut 2:

This week we had to have our second rough cut done. This movie is a lot of work but I think it is starting to pay off. It’s a slow process but it is all starting to come together. It has been a problem free week for once. I have got a lot of work done. I am planning on finishing all of my puppets over the weekend and then I will be on to the animation phase of my movie. There are still some small things that I have to make, but for the most part all of the graphics will be done very soon. I have starting doing some layout stuff and some small animations and I like the way that it is looking. I see now that I am going to have a lot of work ahead of me in getting all the shots to flow. Right now some shots are way to fast while others drag on and on. The timing on my animatic doesn’t work when the actions are actually being played out…
