It's been about four months since my last post, four months! I really do wish I would have updated sooner, and it was my naive understanding that my storyboards would be done soon after that last post. However, with starting the fall semester, I was introduced to a new faculty member, John Ludwick. I wasn't too sure about him at first, but he's a really great guy who really knows what he's talking about. I started showing him my early storyboards, and, while they were okay, they weren't really telling the audience what they needed to know about the characters. So, they were mostly scrapped in order to start anew.
Several months down the road and a few revisions later, not only have I finished the storyboards, I also have a rough cut animatic! I've really been trying to develop this according to my own vision while taking guidance from John to make sure I am hitting the important beats of the story without missing what makes the tale unique. Here's the link to the animatic: it's password protected so anyone interested can only get to it through this blog (or word of mouth); the password is "thesis." I am about to launch myself into the world of layout over winter break. I know I've said I'll do something over various breaks before, but I really can't beat around the bush with this anymore; I've got some friends of mine who are starting to invest their time and effort into this, and it really is incredibly reassuring to know that I have their support in this incredible endeavor.
In an effort to build a stronger online presence, as well as document my progress, it is my goal to more regularly update this blog from at least a bi-weekly standpoint with hopefully some videos on Vimeo.com with my progress. If you have any feedback or questions at any stage of this, please feel free to drop me a line.
