If I get some of the smaller remaining shot elements done in the meantime then I'll be even further ahead of schedule. I had ruled out applying a texture to the film to give it a similar feel to "Under the Weather" because I didn't think I would have the time, but looking at how I'm going, I think I may have to re-evaluate that.
So yesterday I managed to reach the 85% mark on completion of animated shot elements, and finish animating both Death and the Girl, meaning that all three of the main characters have now been completely animated, 5 days ahead of when I was hoping. It's a great milestone to hit, and means I can be confident that the time I'm about to take off won't jeopardise the quality of the rest of the film.

I had ruled out applying a texture to the film to give it a similar feel to "Under the Weather" because I didn't think I would have the time, but looking at how I'm going, I think I may have to re-evaluate that. I'm now at a point where 70% of the animation for "Grave Mistake" is complete - and all of the Guardian's appearances have been completed. My aim is to complete the remaining shots for the two other main characters by the 25th so I can enjoy the Easter break and still have time after it to complete the shots involving extras and complete the remaining backgrounds.
So, the Friday just past, "This is Normal" had it's 1000th comic! It's kind of incredible that it's made it this far - through two years of secondary school, two years of Sixth Form, and now approaching three years of university, and I've managed to keep this going the whole time. So many other projects have come and gone in that time, it's almost a little difficult to imagine life without this as just kind of a thing that I do in the background of anything else life throws at me.
Given how much it has changed, I can't help but wonder what TiN'll look like by comic 2000. Guess I'll have to keep going to find out. |
