The end of the road

I'm determined to finish this 11 second club entry. Even if it doesn't rank high, I've learn some significant things. Finally starting to get a better sense for using held layers! Also some workflow stuff as well. Was down and out for a few days with a jacked wisdom tooth that still needs to be yanked in about a week, so I'm suffering right now so I can finish this.

11 Second club progress

Along with all the work I have to get done, I've decided to put myself through the pain of rejection once again! Nothing better than competition to drive the desire to get better. There are other rough poses, but since they are blue line, and I'm testing out my inking, capture workflow, I've only got the ink drawings that I've cleaned up thus far. I"m making a specific effort to finish and submit this.

11 second club! You're killin me!

November 2013 11 second club - progression
Soo many things are changing. Too many things I didn't like in the last revision.
Excessive arm movement, Excessive movement on the guy. I don't have much time left, so I have to start tying things down and getting to face animation! AAAAAH!

I'm gonna punch both of these characters in the gut if they don't get their act together. I'm trying to meet a deadline here. Actors. pfffft!

11 Second club update! Nearing the end.

Not very many days left, but most of the gross animation ( The larger movement feel good). I need to work out the anticipations in some areas, then move on to lip sync.

This is turning out to be a lot more work than I anticipated, along with working on my MFA Thesis as well. Probably not a smart idea. However like drawing, it's about mileage and experience. So I figure the more animation I do, the better I have to get at it. Right?

If your curious and haven't read any of the other posts and want to know what I using to do this.

Pencil ( Palomino Blackwing Pencil, makes a nice black line with minimal smudging and sounds cool - BLACKWING!)
8.5x11 Copy Paper ( Bought a giant box from Costco, when I run out I think I may upgrade to larger paper)
Animation Peg ( 3 hole punch - www.lightfoot.com)
Simplicity Cam ( To grab animation drawings - it's really a nifty webcam)
X-sight ( Software for grabbing still images
A couple lights ( So images don't turn out super dark, so it's easier to vectorize later)
Photoshop ( I haven't used it yet to  adjust levels so it is easier to vectorize the animation, but it'll be coming up soon)
Toon Boom Harmony ( Timeline, X-sheet, and vectorize tools ) - Im using it to do the pencil tests before I decide to vectorzie, it's also pretty easy to line up your drawings with the internal x-sheet which is pretty convient.
Jetpens- I use brush pens from this company, they have a great selection of Japanese brush pens!
Manilla Folders- HAHAHA ( I also have a giant box of these from Costco, helps keep stuff organized, ALOT!
Colin Johnson Animation Desk - Adjustable light table with animation disc.
Simple Desktop PC- Nothing fancy here.

That's all. Enough typing, sleep then animate some more.
