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...
