First Look DGA screening!

Tomboy made it into First Look! Tentative date is March 5, 2009!

Mix Date

My mix date is Sept 28th. Then I will be officially done. Yay!

Almost Finished!

I'm tweaking everything.. but i'm basically done with the picture. WOO!

I spent a couple weeks revised and amping up the ending. I got help coloring it and am very happy with how everything is turning out. I'll have to post some final shots soon.

Example of colored scenes...

Here's a sequence from the ending that i colored. the backgrounds are photos taken from my parent's farm in iowa.

Finished Animation...

I finished the animation, now I'm going through and cleaning up/fixing the animation from scenes that need a little work.. i also have about 40 sec. colored and most scenes have a temporary background (some i used photos, others i painted a wash, and some were created in photoshop). i haven't decided on the final technique for my backgrounds. i'll be painting over the temp. ones... so it may still have some real life elements... i'm thinking the indoor scenes will be completely painted either by hand or in photoshop and the outdoor scenes will be a hybrid of photo and paint.

here's an example.

final countdown

i have 4 seconds left to animate. i have a few scenes i need to clean up and i've been working on creating rough/temp. backgrounds. i'm on schedule to graduate, which makes me happy. now i just need to keep moving forward. woo.
