Week 07★
Sunday, 5 June 2011 |03:05
Monday was welcome with the comparison of our previous and present stories so that we can see if there is a difference in both of them. It's already to Week 7! So according to the pre-production schedule gantt chart, we should still be in the midst of our designing of our environment, clocks, props, as well as concept development and script! We are pretty behind time since our story kept changing, troubling Jessica to keep changing the script~ So far, everyone's doing fine with their designs too!
Tuesday was a "workshop day"! Morning was digital painting by Anita, telling us the tones of colouring, giving pictures a more realistic and 3D feel with tones of a gradient. We painted for quite some time, given that majority were first timers, thus we required more time as compared to those who have done digital painting before! I tried painting a loped-ear cottontail but it was not really at its full potential~
In the afternoon, we continued with Mr.Norman's animatics workshop. As the storyboard artist, of course I paid my fullest attention in class while my teammates joined me soon after. Mr Norman told us to draw the first 30 seconds of our story and I did; though without accurate perspective. After that, we spent some time to see through our presentation slides for our mini viva the next day.
Pictures to be inserted
Our viva was at 3pm so the time before, we carried out to double confirm our slides & things to be said. However, during the session itself, we were told that we did not make full use of our 20minutes, & actually make it shorter the better, causing ourselves to lose out since we do actually have a lot of concept development and designs for various stuffs like our character design, environment & furniture design, research and so on. That is our group's fault for that area. Mr Jim was unhappy that we did not clarify our story to him beforehand. Mr Agus also mentioned to us various ideas that can be taken consideration such that cuckoo clocks come from Germany, we do not have to stick to that idea but think of a brand new concept e.g. in Singapore, etc. Mr Melvin also told us the importance in showing our research to the lecturers as all those are key information of our work for them to see if we had done enough research and vice versa. Even though the lecturers did not mention anything about the environment designs, I know that I still have a long way to go!♥
Here are some of the new sketches I have done once again over the weekend!

P.S. More design to be revised as the story gets finalized officially by the group mates & Jim! ♥
