Day 28

Alright.. finally got the days right I think... Edited. Let's hope I can remember what happened..

Anyway, we spent our weekend doing flash animations. Woo~ Vivien and I continued doing a little bit more of it today... OH yes... Finally completed the SPC Stone 3D Animation!

Lol.. I agree with Vivien doing quite slowly in animation..So she's assigned to do only one scene..but I don't think I have the right to blame her for that because I understand that she has another module to worry about... So..animation scene...

Intro when puppet pops up - Vivien
Intro when puppet falls - Ting Yu
When puppet looks at photographs - Me
Storyboard and walking pass - Me
When puppet flies past the paintings - Ting Yu
Puppet pulling of credits - Me

Dropped some parts of animation.. We actually simplified the ending part. Instead of animating the painting, we animated the chibi puppet pulling it instead.. :) Hmm..I think we reshot my part where I talk about Animation... and then TY talking about Drawing Essentials..?

Hmm.. anyway, did some er,.. stop motion? or whatever it's called. We actually took pictures of the drawing TY did, with little help from me and Vivien in tracing it. We had Vivien hold the notepad, and TY flipping the pages. As for me, all I did was take the pictures :P, helping them flip when they encountered a problem, and adjust Vivien's hands when it goes off the frame. It took quite some time, but after seeing the end product, we felt kind of happy :) and er, at least, it's easier than the stop motion of the real mannequin.... >_>.. I guess we are not to that standard yet, and we have not much time to do it.

Let's see.. Aaron edited the video.. Cutting it short. When I went over to see what he's done(if I got the day right..), the program actually hanged... :\ and Aaron had to cut it short again. Didn't know what happened.. Well,.. it's a good thing he didn't have to redo the whole thing... but anyway,.. since I think it's partially my fault, Sorry D:

Vivien went to look for sound effects. TY and I transferred the photographs into the computer. Oh dear.. Had to resize them all because the pictures were too big and er ya, Flash couldn't handle it. :( When we were done with that, I went back to animating the chibi pulling the credits. All of us stayed till about 12. Went back to adjust the flash thing a little... Added a frame of the puppet looking up in photoshop, and added some frames because the running action looked weird... but the color is a bit off.. D:

Oh yes,.. talked to Aaron about another way of putting things into the video... which was what I was trying to say last time.. but.. yeah.. it's already too late anyway.. and I think.. Sometimes I am a little like, want things to go MY way..(Bad, I guess) which is why, sometimes, I think, it's best for me to do individual work I think..? Shalalalala.. nevermind. Things will be over soon! Oh and he did say why it's done that way.. reliving the experience......
