SHOT 17 [KEYED] - Wai-Han Lau

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.

SHOT 15 [KEYED] - Wai-Han Lau

The green box represents the camera that will move along with her, so everything outside the green box is irrelevant.

Rough version is here: http://whey-an.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/team-colourless-shot-15-rough.html

Shot 14 finished


Animation and stills







SHOT 20 Version 04 [+ ball prop] - Wai-Han Lau

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!)

SHOT 20 Version 02+03 - Wai-Han Lau

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!

SHOT 15 [ROUGH] - Wai-Han Lau

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.

Character Design: Generic Background girl character Version03 [+side_view] - Wai-Han Lau

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

Version 03 of the Book prop [high res] - Wai-Han Lau


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.
