Fabrice has a fun look to him, since he's buff but wears glasses. So I chose him. This is a rough turn around. I'd like to to a cleaned up version before I do my model sheet of movements. But my time was spent re-organizing my mixed up 11 sec drawings >.< gah
Remote Power
11 sec - Remote Power v3 (not finished!!!)
Well I had not enough time to accomplish the last 15 drawings I gotta do. And I’m seeing things I need to fix. Like his shoulders when he says Jelly, I think what I was trying to do goes by to fast and i should ditch the movement. And perfecting the lip sync… been looking at it to long that will require fresh eyeballs!
X sheet
Here’s the x-sheet I made, it will print on letter size paper just make sure it’s scaled 80% in the print settings. When I print it out I write one drawing for 2 frames to make the 24fps 12 fps. After looking at the Futurama X-sheet I think I need to improve it a bunch. There are 2 black versions
Download here the x-sheet I tried to write out the dialogue on. Keep in mind the words are centered in the boxes so its not totally accurate, you have to look at the wav file break down Linda gave us to see exactly where the sounds start within the frame breakdown I put the words inbetween. I can pass around my print out in class today if that would help.
Run Away!
Hehe. This chase scene was created running around the art building at UHM. When I was working on this I ran into Hapi drawing the stairs, she was wearing a striped sweater that when I drew her it was reminiscent of Freddy Cruger. So I imagined she got a knife and chased me to the elevator... as I glanced back in horror... ah but I wasn't fast enough! Damn slow art building elevator!
Remote Power 2nd pass
Awk this is not a real finished rough. I have a LOT of inbetweens to do. *hangs head in shame*
Also wrestling with Premiere on compression, and export settings. So it looks like CRAP in this size. I’m going to just bring the file in on a thumb drive. I spent several hours just getting my premiere settings right for editing at 24fps. Ah I love the editing capabilities but it takes rocket science to figure out how to get the darn video exported.
I will just need to get a Lynda.com subscription to learn how to fix these tech issues.
Here’s the link… crappy crap crap quality
Remote Power Appearance Test
So I was racking my brain to come up with a cool but efficient way of getting the dark film nor look I wanted. So I did a test on one of my screen shots, it’s grainy but I may get away with it because it makes the image look old.
Here’s what I did:
I used the smart sharpen filter in photoshop to make the lines pop more. Then I used a curves layer to darken up the image, I used a mask on the curves layer so his hand, face and shirt would be light. I’m going to tweak this some more, maybe make his face lighter. But it should work, I can drag the curves layer onto each frame and do a quick mask on each frame. I also saved the sharpen settings so I think i can automate that in a batch process on each frame.
This is plan B. Plan A was to scan in each image and to an alpha channel in photoshop & premire. So this is the plan if I don’t have time for plan A. Gotta have a backup plan to meet that deadline!
