"Buddy" complete!!

So it's over. It's been a year, and it's finally over. Production on "Buddy" closed yesterday, and DVD burning commenced. It has been a long, hard process, but I learned a lot. Of which I will elaborate later.

For now, feast your eyes....

"Buddy" - Senior I animatic

Well HEY! Long time no see, blog fans!

What have I been up to, you ask? Oh, just a few things. Among them, interning at Animation Collective working on a Nicktoon by the name of "Three Delivery". That was pretty sweet, so I took my Three Delivery knowledge back to the SAV and cranked out the first half of my senior film.

The film is a short by the name of "Buddy", and at this point in time, is at its halfway point. Have a gander!

Et voila!

(heart)Beat

Evergreen

By the way, here's a parting gift for all. It's a really gorgeous animation from the latest aniboom competition. Definitely made me rethink the style of my senior thesis.

Finito!

Well, that is that. (heart)Beat is complete. I am now in the final stages, editing the sound and making it look like a presentable file. The final file will be up by the end of class today.

I had a great time working on this project, and have really enjoyed my experience with Flash. You can definitely see a marked improvement in my work (look at the drawings at the beginning of the animation compared to the end!). I will be utilizing this frame-by-frame hand drawing technique for my senior thesis.

Hoorah! More soon!

Scene 8 Test

Scene 8 Test. Getting tired of birds.

Scene 6: Complete! (Blogger is being retarded, here's a Youtube clip)





This leaves only two scenes and a camera movement left to go. I'm feelin' good.

PS: Let it be known that Brandyn and I are no longer friends since he will be missing our Rock Band tournament for his mother's wedding. Who does that?? Also, let it be known that I am looking for a new drummer.
