Animation in Full Swing

But always time for Lols

Animation Has Commenced

The coffee cups, cans of V and overall sense that my work area is sponsored by Pepsi Max lets everyone know that I've started animating on Draco. Apparently my panic meltdown last weekend was exactly what was required and I now find myself a lot more focused and have been animating pretty much non stop (except for the odd game break, but that's to be expected lol).

I am aiming to have my roughs completed by end of the weekend, ambitious i know, but I want to have something to work towards. A real challenge for me is ensuring that my roughs are relatively clean, actually the process has been really good practice as I am so used to making my roughs....really really rough; but when someone else may end up referring to them it has been important to keep them readable.

Draak makes fun of Draco

Draco has the ball...

Colouring Draco's World

Once the backgrounds had been imported it was time to set up the PAL safe area template and create a master palette in Toon Boom that could then be repeated throughout the 52 scenes within the film. I'm really happy with the way the colours in the film pay homeage to the vintage cartoon style I love so much but that they don't look drab or too washed out or faded. We worked hard to ensure that the colour palette was complimentary and once the entire film comes together I am confident that it will look and feel unified through colour.
