BA3B week 16 (Final Week)

Monday

 Today I finished the TV ad sequence and handed it off to Corey to be edited into the final film. I also began working on the factory flashback sequence.

 Tuesday

Made huge strides with the factory sequence, finishing approximately a third of it.

Wednesday

 Today I intended to get the factory sequence and the original animation both finished for good so I could spend Thursday finishing the written work. Due to several meetings throughout the day and back pain preventing me from sitting down and focusing in the afternoon, this did not happen. I no longer feel confident about getting my work completed on time, but all I can do is persevere at this point.



After some feedback on my business card, I decreased the between-text space in the contact info to make it easier to read, and I ended up with two designs for the front. As much as I liked the personal touch of the mini-me I'd drawn, the more minimalist one seemed more professional and consistent with the rest of the card.


 Thursday

Finally finished the factory flashback sequence by midday. I'm not proud of it, but it's finished. I did as much of my original animation as I could before midnight, going back to one of my audio clips that I wanted to use (or at least a snippet of it). I had the rest of the written work finished by 5am the following morning.

Continued progress on the 2D advert sequence.  Corey asked for an image of a street in winter to place outside the window in the set he was building. I told him streets, backgrounds and architecture were not my forte when it comes to drawing, so we compromised on a foggy, winter-y field instead. I encountered a strange Photoshop glitch whilst drawing this image - I could only make brush strokes horizontally. If I tried them vertically, it would just jump into the move tool and move the whole image around. I later looked it up and found this was an issue with a Windows update being incompatible with Photoshop and drawing tablets, and the simplest workaround was to turn off 'windows ink', essentially getting rid of stylus pen sensitivity settings. I didn't learn about this until after I'd finished the image though.

In the midst of working on the TV ad sequence, I had an idea I wanted to try out for the factory sequence. I created a 2D rig of the worker character for the factory sequence (using assets made in Photoshop), but unfortunately decided against using it because the complexity of the rig made it very difficult to use, and the use of 3D space in After Effects kept causing it to crash.
