Quarter story board
Another little tease of the animation. I did a quarter render of the first part, their a few tweaks I need to do with the camera, add some more trees and push the clouds back from the lights. All in all the first part is almost done so I promise you their will be footage soon but I don't want to spoil it for you :P
on the move
Today I got the wheels moving on the building front and doing the real composite work for the animation. Below is another little tease.
composting
Today I didn't even get to leave the house Im guessing their are going to be quite a few days like this to come. Ive basically been photoshopping the buildings down and doing test composites of all the footage. At the moment Im rendering some footage. So soon their shall be a taster of all the stuff ive been working on all rolled together.
Below is a flat example of how the hills will work, except their done with real paper that will strip away.
So far so good
Bed time.

Paper Plane story board
Today I did all the green screen shooting for the paper plane sequences I also did a test composite with the same plane, I have done five others but this one will do for now. Tomorrow is hill building time then Im going to put all the bits together for a draft which I can show at the Ayup meeting.
Sleep time..
p.s My website has got stuck down the bottom, it will be fixed by tomorrow :)

Paper Plane tests
Today was mostly about figuring things out. Mostly what kind of paper plane I want and whether I can jump from the train evaporation (see previous blog) to the plane.
Here is a rough composite of how it will work.
1. The end of the previous blog post
2. Several bits of paper spin off from the others
3. Folding into paper planes
4. They float through the air and start to dip as they are crumpled from the right side to the left.
5. They all form into paper balls that fall down, and because their are so many of them they will look like snow, (which goes into the next scene, which is... yes you guessed it a snowy scene :)
All in all its going to work, its just going to take a day or two to make all the different planes.

Animation booth interviews/computer tests
Ive just started the third year of my degree, so I had to stop animating for a little bit. Yesterday I managed to do another test composite of the trees and the trains, which I can safely say looks pretty sweet.
These screen shots below give you an idea of the movement that will occur, I cut the train bit by bit and stop-motioned the movement into a circle in total the process took about 4 hours or more. next its paper plane time.
oh, also their is a little video interview of me for ayup. I didnt sound as daft as I thought I would.
Matt Saunders and Eleanor Woodburn Interview
Sadly my time in the booth is over, but their is a great deal of work to be done. The animation premier will be At BAF Where you will also get to see the Mighty Studio AKA's Varmints which I am really excited about seeing :)

Animation booth part four
olla their is a video before this one, but ill put that up soon :)
Building trees: This video doesnt really translate how long it takes to do each tree. In the video you can see the trees we created early (See previous video) are being cut bit by bit and stop motioned with a green screen behind, each tree took over an hour to do. Their is also a test composite at the end.
