Web Development

All of the hard stuff for the website is pretty much done. All I have left to do is to update my primary animation reel and post it here and link it there. This time I'm quite pleased with how the site is turning out. The code is 100x cleaner than the last site and the structure is more manageable. I've also tied my gallery into the home page slideshow for dynamic updates. And started using ajax/jquery for a few things to make it more user friendly. Since I'm also using google voice, I've added the widget to the site on top of my listed phone number. My email address and phone number are on the site for the first time via javascript encryption to deter bots and spammers.

The new site is still unavailable as it's currently hosted on a testing machine, but hopefully I'll have the working thing filled out and working on a public host before the end of the month.

Shot 01-04iii Ext. Frames

Very little has changed in this shot so far.  I've only tweaked existing frames.  I did was raise the hemline and shorten the jacket by a couple inches to match the rest of the film, and gave the skirt a little more of a bell shape, as well as a few fold lines.  I also made Ayu's head slightly bigger to make sure she's 6 heads tall.  Generally I hope more shots are sorta like this, because I'd like to preserve (in this case) as much of Tori's original coloring work as possible.  Of course I'm probably going to have to color this times 3 more frames since I'm about to inbetween this shot to bring it up from 3s (8 frames per second in the film) to 1s or my typical variable timing method (I think I had a professor say it's the "European timing system"?  Either way, typically most American animators prefer to hold a single frame rate per shot, but as I've seen in both Japanese and European Animation, sometimes this seems a little unnecessar

So I've gotten around to finishing up these two bits of animation.  Ayumi's head took an incredible amount of labor for the amount of animation that came out of it.  Ezri's bit of animation was a lot of fun though.  As usual the next step in these is to color and shade the frames.  I do have some background work to tweak for this shot too.  Despite the lack of broad movement, this was actually one of my most challenging bits of drafting/animation so far.  There are approximately 50 drawings for Ezri and 30 some for Ayumi (and looking at this I may have to go back and add more).  Hopefully I can be more efficient in the future.
