Hey! So I've got a few backgrounds here for "A Gritty Western". Lighting is important in this film to create the mood. It's fun to see how it can help bring out story. In the last image, I put in the characters from the storyboard to see how they would look with the background and lighting set up.Christina Chinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08562562173869244218noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594160249901017174.post-32112007007915646182011-10-24T16:14:00.000-07:002011-10-24T18:21:13.871-07:00Ninja Short Film<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><u><br /></u></span></div><br /><div><div style="text-align: center;">Hey there, doing the 30 second challenge.

<br />
I am doing this to prove that I will not just sit around and do nothing with my years of schooling. Melissa has kindly agreed to lend her talented hands to my cause by helping me animate and colour this project.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My film is basically a short story about bullying and revenge. These are familiar concepts to most people. I guess my last film was a shameful attempt at slapstick, so I'm hitting the other end of the spectrum. Maybe I'm a tear-jerker writer, not a knee-slapper. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Let's find out!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjDSg-4k3wFv_k8m1_sfjiusvfeL40liQctaAXdMSSyg6XUGW__VpjvDvo-L4olfgTnDx8b29v-kzeaLnqxyD2OO_idI0726NKr35j9ZXcB_anI1JStncx4qI-jNtoasLC3bIhqaiGa0Q/s1600/BoyRotationColour.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="153" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjDSg-4k3wFv_k8m1_sfjiusvfeL40liQctaAXdMSSyg6XUGW__VpjvDvo-L4olfgTnDx8b29v-kzeaLnqxyD2OO_idI0726NKr35j9ZXcB_anI1JStncx4qI-jNtoasLC3bIhqaiGa0Q/s320/BoyRotationColour.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">These are rotations for my main characters. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
They may look pretty rough, but I'm not aiming to clean them up too much more. Colour and art direction are a stronger focus this time around for me, much more important than the polished television look that I sought after the last time I made a film. (The aforementioned film will never see the echoing tubes of the Internet, not for decades at least). I want that rough, always moving feel here. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Again. <a href="http://beta.toonboom.com/">ToonBoom</a> is being kind enough to lend us licenses to their AnimatePro software for this project (you guys are the best!) and I intend to use the heck out of that program for a lot of my post production work. But pencils are still my most comfortable friend and I will stand by them in order to keep my drafting skills from spiralling. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Which means I get to break out my MacGyver'd masterpiece.<br />

The BeginningsI had just finished doing a film with very human proportioned characters and a more serious theme. So Ryan and I were looking to do something cute and lighthearted, but also with an overall message. With jobs in the industry coming up in the near future, we didn't want to bite off more than we could chew. The result was a story about how if you're not careful, your ambitions for the future can slip away from you. I was in charge of creating character designs and Ryan was in charge of designing the backgrounds. Here's one of the first sketches I put together that helped shape what our film looks like today.<br />

We are just getting into the animating part of it and I am almost done the backgrounds. After we finish moving into our new apartment this weekend we hope to start animating in full force and aim to get it done before the end of the summer. Anyways, for now I figured I could post a couple of the BGs that are pretty much done and hopefully soon there will some animation on top of them.<br />

This film may be the most ambitious of the bunch, and it's required a lot of retooling as we go. Making it all work in 30 seconds has been tricky, but each time we figure out a more economical way to tell this story, it feels like a breakthrough.<br />
With a western, there's a lot of cinematic language to work with. We've all seen them, we have a common language we can take advantage of. It's using that common language, playing with the cliches, without falling into just that, cliche, that's really tricky.<br />

Here's what Christina had to say about working on this film: <i><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">After spending a year on a comedic film “Beam” which had energetic and exaggerated character animation, one day I thought “ I want to do a revenge story”. I decided a western is a good set up for a new experience. And it is. Suddenly we’re taking a more serious, dramatic and cinematic approach that is demanded for the film. Because this story has much much more subtle character acting, it requires more attention to storyboarding; triggering SO many feelings! Ultimately I’m glad I took this opportunity to forward my progress in creating stories. “A Gritty Western” is challenging and CERTAINLY a learning experience! </span></i><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Brittany, Christina, and Tabitha are really busting their asses to make this film and to make it work. The board's been worked and reworked a few times over, but we're finally getting somewhere that I think everyone is happy and confident about it. I'll try to get the animatic posted for you soon.</span><br />

She's working on a very ambitious 30 second western now, but you can see she's got some solid foundations to build on. Tabitha is known for taking on very ambitious projects, and I haven't tried to dissuade her of that. The trick has been to take the big, ambitious project, and distill it down to something do-able. <br />

Being freshly graduated and new to the animation industry brings lots of energy drains, like frustration, excitement and I'm too tired to think of a third thing. Dumping a new film on top of this is certainly no less than a challenge; one I entered with a sparkle in one eye and a twitch in the other. That's part of the appeal though. Finding something you want to devote lots of time and energy to is always special.<br />
<br />
Above is a background minus some elements that will be animated. Below is a quick animation experiment. More to follow hopefully soon.<br />

We're about to hit a wall. Most of the group are at the stage where they need to start animating, so the really tough work will commence. At this point, it's up to these guys to just start doing the hours. I'm hoping they can see it through, but this is where they could begin to drop off the radar.<br />
