New Title and Backgrounds done!

Hi, quick update...

Finished Backgrounds. Now i'm tracing the lines with a darker pencil, adding some details.
Will finish it over the weekend.

Next week, i'm going back to the animation and filling some inbetweens and secondary actions (more frames in some shots).

After that everything will basically be ready for composition in AE.

The drawings and backgrounds will be imported into photoshop to match aspect ratio.
The drawings will have to be lined up (peg).

From there i bring it into the AE file and start placing the process.

And Jack - i'm going with your title, so thanks for thinking about it.

Don't have anything to add....

Hi there, to anyone out there (probably no one :) - don't have much to update..
I've been working on my backgrounds for the past 2 weeks.
LAST background to go and i'm ready to go over them with pencils and fill them with grey tones.

I'm working on the interior house and the outside when Minnie starts running.....i haven't decided if it's a neighborhood or a lonely house on a hill...like a country side or just a quiet area??

Scanning some of the rough planning sketches tomorrow!

Other then that - have a new sound guy (very nice and talented person, his name is Nico and he got the files from me. Will start running some experiments soon)

That's it i think.... upload some stuff to show tomorrow!!

Backgrounds!

I finished with most of the Animation. I will get back to it after I'll finalize my backgrounds.
I still have 20-30% animation to complete (mostly secondery actions and inbetweens here and there for the sake of fluid animation, but the shots are done as far as i concern.
The only thing is that once i'll finish with the rest of it, i'll do a revision and make sure the design sticks all the way through, check details and lines.

I started to work on my backgrounds in the middle of last week. Got 6 done + prop design that i already finished from concept art stage.

Over the weekend i've completed 2 rough layouts - the interior house design and the Zoom on the shelf from the dog's view.

It takes a little bit' of time cause' i trace the lines with a light box after each time i finish a background to have a clean look.

My goal is to try and finish a few backgrounds every week.
Will probably upload some soon.

That's it for now...
