Been a bit

Firstly I'd like to apologise, I know last blog I said this and I quote:

Next week, praying to the gods of luck I will DEFINITELY have started the PHE project. I know I've been saying this for a while now, But there has been some difficulties with script and client feedback and information. So hopefully this will be the last week where I say this and the last week where nothing of much substance has been made.

I know now it's been a few weeks since I updated my blog last. Well this is mostly because of the client we are working with, We have spent about 2 weeks in the time I've been gone doing nothing substantial. It has only since about Thursday last week started to get into gear. This project isn't the best introduction you could have to a project based job but at least it's something. I will start with the work we got started last week. 

So we had this submission for characters and all the new concepts we had made up since our last meeting or feedback from the client, They basically scrapped all of our work up to that point so we had to redo it all. We created a lot of ideas assets and concepts during the time I've been gone, but as I say a lot of that was scrapped. Here are some of the tings I came up with in that time. I also did a lot of practice in duik and animation stuff but unfortunately I have not much space to show you those animations. Either way this stuf is really good stuff for portfolio work and just experience in general. I love I've got to know illustrator more and I never get sick of working with After effects.



The concept I took part in was a teal scene from the script Ellie had to re-write. A lot of the majority of our time was pent on redesigning and going back and changing things, we managed to land on final designs Nichole came up with. We thankfully got feedback on all our work the next day. We had a few changes and edits to make by Tuesday night. On Monday however, I was tasked with making the map visuals as well. And I came up with this visual shown here. I also was tasked to make a few minor changes to the teal scene I made. I had to change it in accordance to the script, So it went from a more crowded detailed scene with letters above the characters to a simple visual of showing the statistic's visually using filled characters and outlined characters. I was later asked to change it again to the same characters for all 3 versions. The images are below!

Final concept

For this week we are going to finish the animatic and get on with creating sound, timing and visuals to show the client how the animation will look and how long it'll be. So far I'm enjoying this and I'm extremely glad We have finally ended up with a lot of work and stuff to be getting on with,

I will probably end up posting another blog this week or maybe on Monday. Since I'm writing this on Wednesday and not the end of the week. It's just been an awkward few weeks and time management and feedback has been so slow. Now it's finally getting going I wish to update you on at least some of the things that has happened and Id like to reassure you work is definitely on the ball now!!

Bye guys! I'll update you all soon I promise.
