Tuesd, Dec 7th : Back on Track

Well, my term is finished... thank god.
But by no means dos that mean that there is not more work to be done.

There is still the half-finished scene 3, sitting in the computer lab with no backgrounds, and unpolished animation.

There is still a load of scanning that needs to be done before I leave for Christmas vacation.
I would like to have all of the currently existing frames to be scanned for the vacation. So that I can arrange and peruse them, and decide what frames are missing, what needs replacing, etc.
Then, it would be nice to get a nice handful of new drawings done, while on vacation. With any luck, I'll come back for winter term with 99% of all the frames I will need for the Temptation to Fail. Then it will mainly be a matter of sitting all day and night in the multimedia lab, coloring and animating those frames into life.

But of course, music and sound are an entirely different issue. It would best for me to arrange every scene with a degree of flexibility. So that there is plenty of excess and lead for post-processing and editing if I want to work in music, voice, and sound effects. But I guess for now, i will plan to move ahead and work through silence. Which is something that i have recently come to terms with, but has always puzzled me before, and I'm sure it will again. (animating to silence,..when it's so easy to follow the musics lead.) But there is good news on the horizon...

I've recently become nicely acquainted with a real chill cat, who's got his own world unto himself (which means he's got his shit in order.) But the fella has always reminded me of Margwa, or pherhaps Margwa has always pointed him out to me. But it sounds like he and I are interested in helping each other out with our creative endeavours. He's got his own animation starting up, whereas I've nearly got one, but it doesn't have any music. But luckily, I think that he can help provide.
Which is interesting to me...because TTF is primarily told from Fuhiyo's experience, and so the visuals are Fuhiyo's visuals. But in the end, Margwa is as crucial to the plot as Fuhiyo. So maybe now, Margwa will be taking charge of the musical stylings, which could relly help to flesh out and ground the entire animation (while giving Margwas character a deeper presence)... hmmm....

Well then, what for now? ...

I think a bit of relaxing is in order

(In the meantime, how about a far too small little teaser movie?)
