What has been the most challenging part of getting work done on this project so far? How are addessing overcoming this challenge?'
I find tying to edit my animation down to 2 minuets while simultaneously animating a well acted characters to be very difficult and is resulting in a lot of rapid and quick pased action shots, in what is suppose to be slow piece. I know that many scenes need to have more keyframe, but the animation keeps brushing with the 2 minute time line, and while I need to sit down and see what can be managed to be cut out inorder to have good pacing and tell the story, its been hard to for I keep tying to push forward to make the deadlines in the calendar. While i have been making the deadlines the work isn't as good as it could be.
I understand this problem, and can sympathize with you regarding it.
ReplyDeleteRemember, the challenge is not simply to make a solid, coherent, piece, but to make a good 90 - 2-minute short, which is not a simple thing.
Keep moving forward as you are doing, adding shots to your animatic to see how the overall story is doing and to see if any elements can be adjusted to bring the piece down to 2 minutes.
Finally, keep in mind that after the screening, you are of course free to work more on your piece and expand it if you feel it needs to be longer in order with the goal in mind of submitting it to festivals.
