Schedule for this week

Monday

- Work out with music the number of frames needed for each shot
- Draw out the start and finish key poses for every remaining shot
- Begin animating first dance with fish shot (Shot 22) using this clip as reference(from 1:12 - 1:30)

I like the style of this dance, better than say, traditional ballet, as it uses the arms alot, which a mermaid would have to, as she has no legs. Ballet is so beautiful but after watching many clips of it, without the use of legs, it would not have the same effect.

Tuesday

- Animate hair on last weeks animations (Shots 20 and 21)
- Rough animation of the dance

Wednesday

- Ink a small shot (perhaps Shot 5?) in preparation of a finished shot
- Linetest animations
- Scan in Shot 5, fill colour, try out in After Effects scene

A little more animation

Another update....

It's beginning to get to that time now where I'm freaking out, totally stressed and worried that I'm not going to get enough of this done, and yet it's like I can't force myself to work on it aaaarrrrgghhhh.

Fishy

Update of Fish #1's transformation....I may give all the fish names...maybe

Sept 8

Another update hooray!

Finally an update!!! Here's some linetests of animation, as you can see it's waaaaaaay too fast, needs a whole lot of inbetweens, which is a bit annoying as her hair moves in every frame, meaning i'll have to redo it all, no worries though, it'll get done!I think I'll start doing her hair on another layer anyway, it'll make it easier and more practical in the long run. So yes anyway, this is in no way finished animation, not even close, but yay something!
