FOR TEAM COLOURLESS: SHOT 17 [KEYED]

The keyed version of Shot 17, I've inbetweened the lady already so only Bianca needs to be inbetweened. In the original animatic, she wasn't this far away from the bench so I had to have her step back a few steps to sit back down which added more time. To save time, I reused a lot of Bianca's poses from Shot 15 - so unlike my other shots, which usually involves a messy stickman drawing to figure out the action, I roughed this shot out as I went along.

FOR TEAM COLOURLESS: SHOT 15 [KEYED]

The green box represents the camera that will move along with her, so everything outside the green box is irrelevant. Here is the shot with the chart for the inbetweeners:

without the charts

The biggest issue after I roughed it was that I had to animate with Bianca's proportions and make sure the character design was correct. Also, making sure that Bianca and the lady are the same height (which I referenced from the height chart that Sara made).

FOR TEAM COLOURLESS: SHOT 20 Version 04 [+ ball prop]

Added shadows (in the form of ovals) and made a proper ball prop. The ball was originally going to be one block colour, but we realised that without some kind of indicator then the viewer wouldn't notice the ball spinning. Didn't want to be too complicated, so I added some grass/ dirt stains.

SHOT 20 (Version 04)

The ball prop

The ball prop was created hastily in photoshop, but is easily replaceable on my animation because the ball is a symbol. So, if the director decides to alter the design all I have to do is import it into flash and it will replace the ball symbol (similar to referencing in maya but in flash!)

FOR TEAM COLOURLESS: SHOT 20 Version 02+03

After feedback from Hilary, backgrounds were changed so I had to alter my shots. This included shot 20, the first version I did with the previous background is here: http://whey-an.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/for-team-colourless-shot-20-block-pass.html

First of all, I re-positioned Bianca to the bench in the new background (drawn by Emma G).

Version 02

Since then, I have received more feedback on this shot so proceeded to alter a few things - such as her back being a bit more upright as she chases the ball :

Version 03

SHOT 20 (Version 03) with the BG

Also, we decided to scrap/ merge shot 21 with shot 20 because it was unnecessary.

FOR TEAM COLOURLESS: SHOT 39 Version 01 (+ SHOT 14 flipped)

SHOT 39

SHOT 14 - flipped the teddy around

Did shot 39 a while ago, had another go at it - it's a weird shot to stare at, sometimes it looks fine and sometimes not - I'll see if I change my mind...
Realised the teddy bear (in shot 14) is supposed to be facing the other way so I flipped it!

TEAM COLOURLESS: SHOT 15 [ROUGH]

After Hilary's advice, we decided to have a camera follow Bianca move instead of splitting the shots. Here, the green box is the camera. This is mostly to test the timing of the whole shot, it's 176 frames at the moment.

added a side-view at Sara (the director)'s request

FOR TEAM COLOURLESS: Version 03 of the Book prop [high res]

Hope this is high resolution! I smoothed a few things out too, like the text and outlines of the book. Also, I deleted the white background so it can transfer easily into flash without a bg. This picture is in PNG format.

FOR TEAM COLOURLESS: SHOT 20 BLOCK PASS Version01

Keyed in shot 20, I ended up inbetweening at the end... but I've sent it to the inbetweener with charts for a few inbetweens at the beginning

FOR TEAM COLOURLESS: [REVISED] SHOT 15 BLOCK PASS

I've been showing Sara (the director) my animation of Bianca and she's been responding with a lot of helpful tips on specific details on Bianca. From Sara's advice, I've altered Bianca's eyes and nose.

FOR TEAM COLOURLESS: SHOT 15 BLOCK PASS

I've keyed shot 15 and have drawn charts for the inbetweener. It's the first time I've had a go at doing charts, so I'm hoping that it's understandable.
Also, I did Shot 14 a while a go but forgot to upload it. The shot is just a still image of the teddy bear but at least it's something!

FOR TEAM COLOURLESS: Version 02 of the Book prop

I redrew this so the pages looked more like a book and removed the unnecessary writing,
to make the "titles" more readable and clear

Back and side view

 

FOR TEAM COLOURLESS: Character Design: Generic Background girl character Version03

Made her more yellow, like Sara requested

FOR TEAM COLOURLESS: Toy Dog prop + Dog character design

FOR TEAM COLOURLESS: Character Design: Generic Background girl character Version02

Made it more yellow and added colour numbers, as requested by Sara
First version here

FOR TEAM COLOURLESS: Book design

Design for the book, the most important story-telling device so I wanted to add a little bit of fun in there. I also tried to blend the classic 'Self-help' book look (top-left) with the 60s feel that Sara wanted.

FOR TEAM COLOURLESS: Page transition tests

PAGE TRANSITION TESTS LINK
I think it would be nice to have the book go across the screen as a transition to the next scene (for the montage), I've done tests of different ways it can be done.

When doing the montage, it doesn't have to be just one direction all the time, it can be different directions to different scenes - I think to end the montage we should have an abundance of books filling the screen (maybe even reaction shot of Bianca's confused/angry face?) and thus blacking the screen out to the last scene.

FOR TEAM COLOUR: Suggestion for the Opening Shot

Alt Storybeat shots: for Team Colourless

Alternative shots, I've only managed to do 3 shots at the moment - shots 01, 02 and 04.
I've also realized I've forgotten the pan in shot one, but I guess the alternative is one establishing shot with loads of posters (of 'coloured' celebrities) strewn about the room and walls and then a shot of the magazine shes reading through - then her looking out the window.

I've also altered the environment in shot 01 to have her reading on a window nook instead of her bed, I think this will make a better transition and won't cause a hassle of "how does she look out the window in quick manner?". I also like how a nook can portray how shes 'closed off' and shy to the world, as a nook is generally used as a quiet place to read.
