Good gracious. It seems that over the past 7 weeks all my waking hours have been spent either working on or thinking about this film. And now for the past few nights I have dreamed about nothing but After Effects velocity graphs and concerns over atmospheric perspective. Slowly things are coming together, but still there is a lot to do, and I am feeling a little overwhelmed.
Below are some rough examples of some of the animation we have so far. We're still tweaking, but for the most part the scenes are looking as I envisioned them. Apparently I am "demanding" as a director, but I worked on this thing solo for long enough that I can't help but demand that every scene look like something I would draw.
I have also included the second version of the boy's head I posted about earlier. Thanks to everyone for their input. I think part of the problem I had with the first version was I had just spent time painting the more ugly characters, and I had forgotten about all the painting tricks I tend to use to make people look cherubic. Also, I switched from 140 pound to 90 pound paper, so I was able to do a more accurate tracing from the pencil drawing. It is amazing the difference subtle changes in contour make in affecting the cuteness of a face.
