Screen Arts 31/10

Citizen Kane

I keep hearing this title over and over and had no idea what it is about. After a little research though I can see why there is so much hype around it.

The story revolves around a loaded newspaper publisher that dies and in researching Citizen Kanes final word of Rosebud, the reporter retells Kane's life story. Orson Welles based the main character on a stereotype of real life Chicago characters in the newspaper industry and business tycoons. I found the final plot twist a funny yet fitting way to end the movie as well.

Gaming 31/10

Walk cycle done. Thanks to Rachel we have an extension until monday! woohoo!. It was going to be a tough crunch to finish it tonight but now I can focus on getting everything done that I want completed (mainly boss interaction). Procrastination is my skill and kicks me in the butt every time.

Drawing 23/10

Rearranged the second last panel cos the order seemed a lil screwy. Im happier with the new layout for sure. Need to make some kinda mini bio for the last page as well.

2D Animation 21/10

2 weeks til due date. Yikes. Rig is done, although there is going to be some cleanup in the animation as I cant quite get the leg shapes 100% right for the movement. I have also adjusted the blink cycle length to allow for the pause in between.

Ghosties rig is done now too except for changing the bottom half of her body when she moves sideways.

more frame changes. i need to get my butt into gear because time is running out. I do like the way my comic is evolving though, just wish I had more time.

Research 21/10

Done finally. However not asking to confirm the due date was a mistake as I should have submitted last week. Overall Im happy with what I produced in the time required, however if I had to do it again, I would get rid of the black lines around Aeliwina and try to match the background art style better. Next year I am going to pick a topic that is more specific so I have a better direction to go, and hopefully not change my mind 3 weeks before the due date to restart! Now to work my butt off for the next 2 weeks to get my other projects finished before the due date instead of on the due date.
