CHEAP TRICK · 4 AUGUST 2013
The past three shots have all been super simple. I could have skipped over them and moved onto some of the more ambitious shots, but it's always nice to see some of the blanks get filled in. It's not a huge jump in progress, but it does at least give me a sense that things are moving forward. While it may not be much, at least I put some effort into not letting this project fall into moth balls month after month. What I'm hoping for is to work on or even complete one animation shot per week. Sounds super simple and easy...and the actual work kind of is, it's just getting up the inspiration on weeknights or even weekends that is the real challenge.

Now I'm really cheating in the shot production department. The layout shot for this could suffice as a place holder because there isn't much animation to do without the actual background plate. Even if there were, it moves into the realm of comp, in terms of what there is to do. However, I wanted to port it over with some of my new scripts to get it into "animation." I did do a little bit of work making the wireframes look nicer and the overall temp comp. It will be some time before this shot will be fully realized though. I'd like to do some more computer HUD type stuff to make it look more like a jet fighter or terminator style readout. For now though, it gives me another shot wip in animation!
