Hello and welcome to my blog. As a senior animation student I am charged with creating a thesis film before graduation. Now that I am finally back home in the good old US of A I thought it would be a good idea to get some of the few things I have done up on this blog before school. I have tried to remain motivated in these summer months and though I have been away working I have luckily been able to keep pen and paper around to get down some ideas.
My initial goals for the summer were research and maybe a little development. While research was somewhat hard to come by while I was away I turned to more of the development of characters and story since I could easily do that without a computer. Transitions between scenes and character motivations have been some of the first ideas I have dealt with. Along with that I have tried to get some temp music going as my piece will rely on it to set the mood. Heavy production will soon begin as school is only a couple weeks away and I hope to at least knock out some more visual style now that I am back home at my workstation.
My film is more of a visual music style of piece if I had to classify it. It is a blend of pixelation and hand drawn characters set to a alternative music piece I am having my brother's band develop. I really like the story I have set I just am tinkering with the motivation of the characters as well as the final direction I would like the film to take. I really believe the music will be a huge part of the piece and hopefully in the coming week I will have a temp music file to put up on this blog.
Anyways, that is about it for now. Thanks for visiting and hopefully as you check back I will have more positive updates.
