Nov 17th - Dec 7

Till break i had about 245 frames of my left hand and 150 of my right hand drawn out for my rotoscope.

I worked by tracing every-every other frame of my hands, one hand at a time.
I ended up tracing my hands around 600-700 times between how many times i re traced from messing up.

Over break i worked all night thursday, friday, saturday night till 5 am, And while i worked i re watched all of samurai jack to help pass time.

I came back to school with my project almost complete, i just needed to animate about 100 frames of my right hand, and add in the blob.

Added in blob by working blindly, this messed me up a few times, and had to re do some sections to get timing right (Clap of the hands).

It was originally a solid white, but i preferred the look of the empty blob

Worked for about 4-5 hours to finish the blob and have it tweaked to look right.
No jumpy movements, trying to make sure i didn't over do it when it was moving fast.

Finished the Animation final Monday night, had it ready for class the next day.
Finished the project with about 20-24 Hours of work time.

Came to class, had crit, took 15 minuets and added a title scene and fade out to the end. Entire animation ended up at about 20 seconds.

This past week i made the powerpoint for my presentation, and found a video to go along with it of pixar working on The Incredibles.
I just made a powerpoint of general information about the company because surprisingly i couldn't find much information on them.
