Some changes on storyboard
We have shown our animatic to my team-mates's supervisor,Drew.He had given us some advise on it and at the same time,he gave some really good ideas to enhance our story.Our story has been change into new story but the environment still remain the same.After class, my sister and I started to brainstorm again.We did lots of research,watch a few shorts film and some video of kids' behaviour.For example,how parents take care of a little child.We spent hours to brainstorm and yet we came out some ideas.We also did some rough sketches and rough storyboard.We are going to show rough storyboard to our supervisor before we proceed it to animatic. I am quite worry about our progress.We are like too slow and our time is tight.There are a few assignments poping up once to another in the same time.I hope we can make it this time. This is my first short film that my sister and I as a team.
Props Texture
These are some of the props texture that i have done and I have finish the rest of the props texture which model by Pei San.
Matte Painting
Testing out to comp the environment modelling with background painting that i have colored.
Rigging
It is quite challenging for me to rig a character. I have no knowledge about rigging. Therefore, I have to follow tutorials to rig this character. My sister and I have met lots of problem with the rig, we spend day and night to study the rig and trying to solve it.Due to the tutorial in Youtube, I have complete the body part rig and now proceed to facial rig by following the other tutorials.
