Here's an update of the animation...most of the completed background designs are now in apart from the dog walking scene as the software at uni couldn't handle it, the railwaymen scene as it's still being coloured, pans and other odd bits. It's looking a lot more finished now which is great, but there's still loads to do. As we have pretty much got through my first list of layouts/rough animation/clean up/colouring, I have made a new chart more for the compositing side of things including which backgrounds have been finalised, which compositions have been tested to make sure the backgrounds definitely work with the animation, notes, which backgrounds have been put into scenes in layers and what effects are needed. After getting through the first few stages I'm hoping we can then go through scene by scene and note down every possible effect/shadows/post production that needs to be done on each shot and just start to work our way through them! so...thats the plan. For the rough cut hand in, I would really love the final bits of animation that the second years are working on to be done and all the scenes to be in colour including the pans etc...
