Background Comp

I sent DG some notes so we could work out what way we wanted to do the comp for the under water shots. I also did some rough drawings of  possible looks/Effects with the characters and assets included.

Background Development

DG has decided that he is not doing the P.O.V shot anymore so I sent him some notes and asked that he connect these shots and make that pan longer so we can show off more of the city. The reason for connecting the shots is because it would look odd or as if the animation was skipping a section.

Background Development

I got some Backgrounds off DG today but the was some problems and certain things we talked about having in certain BG where missing so I made some notes to help speed up the progress.

Animation Update

For the dinosaur roar I used this clip from "The Good Dinosaur" as my main reference. I liked the way the jaw twitches to emphasis the roar and did the same in my animation. I also want to try adding a shaky motion to the camera in comp to exaggerate the scene even more as the Dinosaur roars, intensifying towards the cut.

Animation Update

Over the last 2 weeks I only managed to get a weeks worth of work done because DG unfortunately got delayed again but one of the complex scene's in done and I have a run cycle that will be reused so this will help us save some time. I have also asked DG to bring in his background work on Monday so that we can try see if there is anything that we can reuse that will help save him some time.

Work Experience, Freelance Jobs

While in college as a way to make some money on the side I decided I wanted to do freelance work. I asked some friends in a Business course to let people know I would be able to do logo's and general brand design and from there I started to get some work. The first bit of work I got was designing a logo for a start up call Agri Grow Lights. I began by working with Brian Rielly, the comany founder, on a rough design just to make sure we both were on the same page for how the logo should look.

From there I cleaned up and refined the logo design as well as doing some various colour options checking in with Brian all the time to make sure he was happy with the progress.

(Refined and Colours)

One I had the refined design and colour's worked out with Brian, I did a digital copy which they were very happy with.

Background Development

DG sent me some backgrounds today but I felt that they could be fixed up we some small changes so I made some notes and he agreed that the changes where a good idea and did them.
