Yet Another Blargh

So it's been many years since I seriously used a publicly hosted blogging service and the first time I've used one in a more professional(?) attempt.

I'm currently in the process of redesigning my website from the ground up. I've decided that instead of hosting one on my own site, I would instead use a service like this and put an RSS feed on the site for layout integration. This has a couple advantages. One is that I'll never have to worry about server migration of Movable Type or Wordpress scripts in fact, I don't have to worry about managing my own service. The second is that a blog on a public service is more publicly visible, even if just a little, and I certainly want to share with more of an audience. You're more likely to have a random person come across your posts and make friends as I learned many years ago.

I'm still finalizing my decision on what service to use. But publishing a post and seeing how it works is part of the process.

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.
