A Pink Site

All of the tweaks to make the site look the same across all major browsers has been done.

In case you're wondering why the site is so pink. It's pink because I know you're going to wonder why it's pink. I wanted a brighter site than I used to have but I didn't want it to burn the eyes.

Blue is an overused color on websites, very cold and corporately [madeupword]. Apparently it means you're serious but I think it means you're boring.  Green is a good 'natural' neutral as far as psychological connection but that's not what I'm going for, I like the warmth of orange but orange (and yellow) are almost too hot. It's like staring into the sun if it's bright. What I ended up choosing was warm and loaded with a more emotional and less sterile feeling. Unfortunately it can also be taken other ways, but my nature to challenge the boundaries or guidelines society gives us only encouraged the decision. So there you go, a pink site.

Now I feel like my demo reels need adjustments though. Going to see if I can cut them a bit better.

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.
