Week 12

Time Schedule for Week 12

In this week I did some research about how to design the space environment. I realized that before sculpting the planets, I need to figure out that what kinds of animation and mood I wish to make in these shots. If I just sculpt several planets and put them in a normal space area, It’s too boring and normal for the highest story beats. They should be more fantastic, with full of interesting animation and color impact. Therefore, I decided to make the color script at first.

Color script for shot36

Color script for shot37

Color script for shot38

Color script for shot39

After I finished these color scripts, I realized that what kinds of animation I will put in these shots

I made the main 2D animation part in shot 36. It spent me one day in painting. It’s not efficient enough. Although hand drawing 2D animation has it’s own special style, I love it. but for compositing suitably with realistic 3D characters. I should add more animation with more details. I guess After Effect can help me solve the problem.

Here’s the technics testing video made by myself. Following the color script, I found several tutorial videos of the technics which I will use in my short. Following these videos, I used one and half day to test these technics.

Here’s my assets’ progress, All the main assets have been done. The textures and models of planets will be finished in next week.
