December Week Two Update

This is our first music pass done by Martin Kirkhaug: https://vimeo.com/81472007

We are currently rendering our short film and have little updates except animation splining. Keep up with us a little longer, the day of our short film premiere approaches!!

Pre-lighting

We have done our pre-lighting in preparation for our final render and composition. We rendered every fourth frame for all our shots at 1/4 [25%] resolution.

 

 

 

We've also had a layout design for our group name, what do you think?

Our mentor for this project is Mike L. Murphy who has worked on many projects prior to becoming our mentor.

 

The reason we're making this film is because we wanted to make it a part of our portfolio. We are able to foresee a whole lot of fun throughout the process and we are excited to be a part of the film making. We hope that the final outcome will be a good animation that will excite and entertain any audience.

 

We hope that you will support us along the way.
