Entry #77

Props and preparing the scenes

All is well in the world of pearl, as you can see from down below the bus is done.
Thinking about other objects to be animated sometimes drawing them in photoshop then animating in after effects is good, because it's simple and saves time!

Although there are some props/objects I do not want this done in photoshop, I got thinking about Pearl when he has his bottle, that parented to his hand in after effects, may look a bit tacky I think I will be animating that in toon boom.
As for the close ups of Pearl they will be enhanced gross out pictures of him.
The heart in 06_sc will be done in after effects considering it only drops although if I do it hand drawn I may be able to get some squash and stretch happening as it falls, sometimes after effects animating in it, well it has some sort of stiffness to it, I'm sure people have made beautiful animations using that program but I just don't know the in's and out's of animating in it, if you knew I'm sure that stiffness I talked would be absent and the animation more flowing.

Anyways there is work to be done.
Like composite all my backgrounds in after effects and colour grading some scenes from day to night.
But before I go doing that I do want all the props done.
I have noticed when I comped the first scene I noticed a hell of a lot of filthy pixels (when magic want tool hasn't deleted pixels for example) I had to fix that up, thinking you have finished then realizing this is never ending hopefully one day I do things perfect from the start, but that's it isn't it to get things right you keep at it, and keep at it I will.

PS- animated bus in 02_sc

As Pearl would say;
          'The difference between try and triumph is just a little umph!'
