My hands are numb typing this out, so I guess that means winter's finally arrived; fuckin ay.
While the last animation was rendering, I cleaned up the sequencing of the full project and got everything nice and neatly separated into individual files to work with.
We're left with 7 project files, ranging from 20-60 seconds. The majority of animation already exists and just needs cleanup, variance, and camerawork touch-ups. The final file (incidentally the first chronologically) is very much barebones, and will need primary animation before anything else. I had some more ambitious ideas for this section, but I'll hold off until more has been completed to see if things need to be cut/simplified.
As for what I'm working on right now, it'll be a 27 second sequence with a few cam switches. Lots of facial animation, so I'll be working with a VA to get vocals beforehand to lip-sync to more accurately. If I find a couple of shots here and there that are looking nice, I might upload one or two as teasers. Otherwise, I'll be aiming to finish production and have everything ready to render by the end of the month.
Fingers crossed.
