Going Clay-zy
So.... Here I am 3 days before the convention and I have.... umm...5 commercials finished and 3 within a hair's bredth of finishing. Pretty awful. I haven't done hardly any of the ones I wanted to do and have instead resorted to much more sinister and diabolical means like cleaning up old animations and sticking and FCTV logo on them. Nothing anywhere near as good as the Ch'Marr commercial, the ants, or the stop-motion farm animals this year so far.
The bunny should be done tonight. Maybe it'll improve my game. The other major project I did this weekend was also my first experiment with doing strata clay... What a disaster that turned out to be! O_O It took up a huge amount of my time (like 8 or 9 hours on Sunday) and it looked prettymuch gawdawful. So I changed ideas and added some really bad music and poetry and made it into something new and different and funny because of its badness. I'm sorta proud of it now in that regard. I salvaged something rancid. :)
Letsee. Other finished animations... FridgeODoom with sound effects. My favourite of this lot so far. Kissing granny with sound. Truly and deeply disturbing. The weather girl with some added FCTV stuff. Weak but it works.
Tonight my aim is ambitiously set for 4 additional commercials. 'Aussie Fried Ostrich' and 'Snailien' have been altered slightly and re-rendered and just need some titling and sound. The bunny will be done, and I think I can do some stop-motion paper. (hiragami, not oragami) If that gets done quickly I may also do some morphy clay.
I'd like to finish editing the kitten and get her set up to render tonight too. I should do that before I do the stop motion as I can render and stop-mo at the same time.
After that? Hmm. I was thinking about like 'slinky on an elevator' that'd be super simple and a slightly different style. I also thought about fixing Alendria riding across the desert, sunken ship, and vultures ambushes into FCTV commercials. I don't think 'Wheel of fortune' is going to happen.
Oooh! A live shadow-puppets one would be super simple too. Shadow puppet animals, then morphs into FCTV.
Of course, at some point I need to consider putting together my DVD. gotta design covers and recreate content. Augh. Way too much to do. O_O
