Vortex

Taking what Meg just did, she went in and implemented them more with the current storyboard. Notice how a cloud looms behind the bus. When she gets attacked by the sandwich, the clouds start to swirl around her "HA HA HA" emitting from them, and then the screen effortlessly transitions into the vortex.

Buildings

I'm sure by now, everyone is wondering what the building looks like in which Molly lives. It just so happens that Meg did a fantastic job with the building outlines and turn arounds in December.

Notice the little cloud designs. So cute.

In the below image Meg was playing with different ways the vortex can look and interact with the environment.

Using vortex looking clouds can help tie in and foreshadow what is about to happen.

Where have we been??

It's been an exciting past two month, and we are still pursuing our deadline. I will get everyone up to date with the next couple of posts.

Before I start updating with a handful of concept designs, models, etc.. Let me introduce some new members to the team.

Nick Jensen is willing to devote some time aiding us in the Ncloth area of the film. Very very much needed and appreciated.

Alan Becker, Tyler Lancaster, and Jen Stefanski will be joining us in the animation department. We are super relieved and ecstatic to have a larger animation team. This will help us reach our mid April release goal.

Thanks to all of you! ^_^

Final Storyboards: Rough

James polished up the rough boards last night.

Read from left to right. Boards will be polished up better on Sunday, and the animatic for timing will be done at the end of the month. More in-betweens will be added to the animatic for the animators on mid January.
