My laptop died

My drawing device has failed.  The graphics card overheated and now I am sad.  I'm looking for another but until then this blog will suck with neglect.

Another page

Yet another page.  I just realized I saved over an entire page of boards... not getting that back.  Son of a bitch... well I'll redraw that one next time.

The long and steady journey continues with the greatest of all accomplishments.  More storyboards.  

I had some moments of battling with self doubt during this drawing session.  I wonder why it's such a struggle.  I'm worried about these drawings(as well as the entire project) being terrible, or rather just not being something that impresses people, or that I won't ever finish it.  I definitely need to relax about the whole thing and just make progress.  It might even help to just leave some drawings in a state I'm not happy with, just to practice "getting over it".

I got a few more story boards done tonight. Yay for me.  Certain elements won't look right until they're cut up and put in the animatic.

First draft of ending.

Check out the about page.  I added an ending and modified some of the spoon raining stuff to flow with the timing of the music better.

Back.

It has been awhile. Screw March and most of April anyway.  Guess I'm not giving up on this project, just took some time off.  This thing is going to take a very long while at this rate, and I'm just going to have to be okay with that.  

The reason I hit another wall was because I decided to redraw the first 4 pages of storyboards, since they looked like shit compared to the later ones, and I wasn't really enjoying backtracking... it felt like a chore.(Plus I've been focusing on learning to play the drums.  I can only focus on so many extra-curricular activities at a time.) Today I finished re-drawing and I'm really happy I did because they look so much better.  I've loosened up drawing-wise, and although the drawings still aren't very consistent day to day, I'm happy with how much I've improved.  So happy that I'm even fixing up existing storyboards before I go back to finish off the end of the animatic.

Here's one I re-drew today.

I've been pretty busy working on this short film so I haven't updated... but now I'm back on the wagon or whatever.  Here's another set of boards.  There's some compositing to be done on them so they may not make much sense like this.
