The summer disappeared completely. I cannot believe that we are already in October and I have barely touched the animation.
I have to say in my defense that I have been working fulltime since July, for Disney Interactive Studios and it is awesome... Completely different than I had imagined. It is strange, I do know that I am learning something there, but I suppose I won't see it myself until I complete a new piece of work and then look back on my work years from now...
After struggling again and again to visualize my script properly, I decided last week to completely rewrite the story, and structure it more traditionally.
It makes a great deal more sense now and I feel like I can move forward with the storyboard, and animatic.
Am in the process of arranging the music for the animation, I decided to remove all dialogue and use just ambient music. I might add in some vocals...but am just not too sure.
I just want to make sure the music does not sound too raw, but also not too processed. I want it to have a tight urban groove to it, but at the same time to convey the terrifying prospect of living forever. A tall order isn't it...
The puppets and set are on standby now, am reluctant to take over my room with puppetmaking madness until the storyboards, audio and animatic are finalised. No point in making my only refuge a rubbish tip just yet...
I need to make a new schedule. I plan to animate in January around the birth of my niece (my sister's second child). Have already arranged to take 2 weeks off work, 1 of which I will be in Iceland for.
If I plan well, I should easily be able to animate in just a few weeks. Just have to get all my shots in order.
Then editing should be a breeze.
In addition, I have moved on from watching zombie films to playing zombie games. I am terrible at Left4Dead, but am rather enjoying DeadSpace.
Yay for the undead..
