Project 2: In Progress

Idea for project 2:
Crumpled piece of paper thrown on side of the road. Bird appears and starts pecking at it (as if it was going to eat it or something). "10 minutes later," Bird has made a origami crane out of the paper. "Don't Litter. This almost never happens".

The animation is being done in 3D with Blender. After effects will definitely be used for color correction, text play, and possibly some dust effects. I'll need to find some other ways to get some more use out of after effects for this project.

Just finished a rough animation/storyboard to get a better idea for how much time I'm filling up. I'm thrilled that after hours of rendering, blender did not crash.

Current issues:
Not sure yet how to get a real time preview out of blender. As it is, I always get a faster animation than expected. I can, and have, slowed it down in AE but it's not as smooth as it could be.

Project 2

Starting on new project. Haven't come up with good idea yet. Have a few potentials though. Two involving flash animation so I'm not sure how they will work out. One filming with no idea how I would incorporate aftereffects. I really want to do some camera tracking but haven't yet found an idea to go along with it.
