Week 02 Update!

 

 


Week two rolls out strong with more storyboard updates as well as some deeper character exploration for character designs! The script went through another rewrite and the boards were updated accordingly. The second major pass of the storyboard will be completed this next week, which is extremely exciting as we explore more interesting camera angles and funny expression and poses for our characters.


We now officially have a sound designer for our film! We are happy to bring on Prajwal Kandel for our sound design, and we look forward to working with him.


Friday, September 25th we held auditions for character voices from 1PM-6PM. We auditioned 15 people in total, and while we are still in the discussion phase of deciding actors, we have a pretty good sense of who will be playing what role in our upcoming film.


All in all, the future is looking bright for Undersea News as we wrap up this busy week and head on into next week. Our goal is to finalize character designs so we can pass on Turnarounds to the Puppetors very soon!

Week 17 and 18 Update!

  It's been just a little while! Apologies for the slow updates, the producer sadly had some unfortunate life events that prevented updates. But we want to update you with everything we've been working on for the past few weeks! The puppets are ready for animation! They finished up in week 17 and animation for them began in week 18. We've begun animation for 9 different shots using the puppets. Right now our goal is to get some movement happening in as many shots as we can before the week 20 mark! We're still discovering and learning new things about the puppets every time we use them, so more fixes are on the way while we get used to them as well. Progress continues on hand-drawn shots. While we don't have many of them, the keys for each shot are almost complete! The goal is to get the keys done by the end of this week and begin polishing timing and movement by the end of next week. As shown above, our MOME artist is working hard on new shots for us as well! Here...

Week 13 Update!

 Puppets, puppets, puppets! This week was filled to the brim with work on the puppets! Hand packs and mouth packs for the puppets have been completed, so most puppets are completely done and ready to be animated with! Above is some test animation footage of Jeff by Andrew, who has played with puppet test animations for the better part of the week. What comes next are layouts and the beginnings of animation. We're going to start getting into the nitty-gritty parts of the animation, as well as working on the hand-drawn segments to get them out of the way early! Be excited; we're setting sail shortly!
