Even though it took me two weeks to really get here... here is is....I have been running into a lot of editing problems. Also, did not realize that some of my shots were out of focus ( I think my aperture is too wide to be honest...) so I am going to have to reshoot the biting into the apple scene. This time I will take more care in taking test shots and viewing them on a larger screen. Although it has been a rocky start, I have learned so much, and I am glad I am running into these problems now as opposed to later. I hope by next Monday I can have the Apple Tree(s) scenes completely finished and maybe start to think about sound. Also need to think about slowing down some of the animation, but still, some of the animation (especially the branch after the apple pull turned out pretty well).

Senior Studio: Take Two!...Senior Thesis:Week One
So I know it seems like I fell off the face of the Earth..but I am here now, with more fuel then ever to get to work! I ended last semester creating a story board/animatic of an original narrative that I am going to animate this semester for my Senior Thesis. You can check it out HERE.
I have EIGHT weeks to complete this, so I have to kick it into high gear. For this week, I will be researching different ways to do construction paper animation. I will also be creating an X-Sheet (hopefully) and reference videos for the animation.
For now, I am tyring to decide on what style/way I want to animate.
Option One: I can shoot down on the multi pane I built last semester. Check out Etude for an example! I have more experience in this.
Option Two: I could make a 3D set and have 2D characters. Check out Cellegratonia for an example! The bonus of this is I could have the entire animation in one long shot which would be pretty awesome...
I just have to make sure what ever option I choose, I will be able to capture the essence of my hand drawing style from the story board animation I created at the end of last semester......
EIGHT WEEKS... (deep breath)...and go...
