Week 3: Organization And A Few Other Notes

Hard to believe this is the third entry in this blog – time screams by – but it is February already. I’ve just spent the evening slogging through all the files I have and reorganizing them (and occasionally renaming them). Of course because of that I had to re-link all those lovely little files in their new homes to my main After Effects and Premier files. That took a bit of time…and re-rendering. However, now I can find everything with ease. This ultimately will make life a whole lot easier, especially when I start generating more asset files and animating scenes. Speaking of animating scenes, while I was waiting for that endless re-render I came up with a modification to my schedule. I think it’s going to be easier to create assets on a scene-by-scene basis and then animate the scene. Going with that idea, I’ve been about to rough out a rough order for the scenes to be completed (6, 7, 2, 5, 1, and 4 if I need to rework it). This makes creating this film feel a LOT less daunting than it did. So now I have to re-edit the animatic to tighten it up – it just runs too slowly. From there I have to shoot a reference video and make timing sheets for each of the scenes. Once all that’s done, it’s going to be time to get down to some serious animation.
