Week 06 Update!

 


Week 06 of Undersea News Preproduction is finished! Board revisions continue going strong as the animatic undergoes more changes as acting beats are finalized and sections get cleaned up.

Puppets have been started for Jeff, Gibbs, and Chester. Jeff and Gibbs are still having their puppets rigged, while Chester is getting a fresh dose of drawing substitutions added onto his current rig!





Facial expressions are being added onto Chester's rig as we speak. Chester is almost completed, we are just waiting on the finalized colors to be imported so he's no longer just a white blobby boy!

We have been working hard on getting the colors for our characters finalized all week and most characters are finished! There's only two characters giving us trouble as far as colors go, but they're incredibly close to being completed regardless!

Everything is starting to wrap up from here. The animatic will take priority moving forward so we complete it to be the best quality it can be!

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!

Week 15 Update!

Image
  We've wrapped up another midterm week! Each of us has been working hard on testing and fixing puppets and catching any bugs or glitches that occur. Our puppets are almost done being cleaned up, and we'll be ready to begin animating with our puppets very soon. It's exciting stuff! A couple of our hand-drawn scenes have been started as well. We're working on getting the keys drawn and feeling out the timing of the animation. We're hoping to work alongside the puppet animaters to keep the movement consistent and the characters similar! More layout work is being done on the side. Our layout and asset artists are doing fantastic work and we're really glad to have them! More to come soon, please stay tuned!

Week 17 and 18 Update!

Image
  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&#
