Scene 27 from Animatic

Scene 27/ UCF FILM from tom richner on Vimeo.

This is my first attempt at a 3D shot in Storyboard Pro 3D.  It's basically doing what I want it to do.  Need to get more comfortable with the tools in the program, but not bad for a first attempt (good enough for the animatic/ time to move on).  

Working on Animatic

Working on the animatic for the animated film I am working on.  I still do not have title and refer to the film as UCF Film (Untitled Cleveland Film... Film).  These are two images from the storyboard.  Not terribly exciting right now, but had them on the desktop and thought I'd throw up here.  Excited about the bottom image though.  This is a 3D model that Mark Fitzpatrick (CCAD Instructor) created for me based on some sketches I gave him.  Great modeler.  Will be attempting to use this model in Storyboard Pro 3D.  Just imported it into the program tonight.  Will see how it ends up going!

Quote For The Year

I have a few lofty goals and aspirations this year and over the next few years including an animated film and some other personal goals. I love this quote and think it will be my guidepost for this year:

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.

T. S. Eliot
