First Shot at In-Betweens

Here is my first shot that I've in-betweened and tied down so far.  It was really fun going back to the shots I've keyed and adding the clothes and making sure he's on model.

Updated Work Reel: Winter 2011


It's not perfect by any means, but this is my updated work reel for the beginning of the Winter 2011 semester.  It shows a few tweaks I've made to timing and the changes I've made to the last scene of the film.  There are also a few shots that have been cut for redundancy and time's sake.

Second Semester...FINAL Semester

So winter break wasn't the most productive time for my film, but I had some well needed relaxation and spent time with family so it was nice.  Now that school has started back up, I'm pushing to finish revisions on scene 3 (formerly scene 4).  Once the revisions are where I want them, I will finish the backgrounds that go with them and begin keys for that scene, and then on to in-betweens and tie downs.

I've updated my production schedule to reflect where everything is currently at.
