What Up Stream?

Things are continuing to move along at a steady pace, there’s new animation and new graphical overlays that are being designed and put into place. Clanging paperclips and sloshing water? That’s right I’ve been dabbling around in some Foley SFX to animated visual cues, it’s been fun coming up with sounds and using different techniques to add weight to the shots. Then on the other side of the sound gamut, I’ve been producing multiple music tracks that are going to be used for the new project. A new project? A question to answer another question. What up stream?

That’s right, I’m getting a live stream ready to go and I invite you to join me as I take a “Creative Drive.” I’ve been looking forward to making this happen for some time and I think I got everything on the tech-side figured out and ready to go. It’s something new and something out of the old comfort zone. It’s going to be an ongoing process that will change and evolve as things tend to do, but you got to take a step before you begin a journey.

So that’s what’s been happening behind the curtain. There you be, there it goes and I’ll be seeing you soon. Head on over to the twitch channel and hit the follow button to get notifications of when I’m going live. Until next time. -bryan

A lot of what needs to get finished is getting there, everything is looking good and moving forward.

Vincent’s house the aptly named Blurrium Estate – Sketch animatic, 3D mock up, final ink and color.

The next steps are to wrap up the 20 plus backgrounds for the intro and the preview scene, as well as getting all of the characters rigged and animated for both of the sequences. Then from there continue to get the rest of episode 001 Egg Chicken Dragon completed.

Building it Up!

Things are moving along and a release is near for the opening theme of TO12H | The Opposite 12th Hour. I still have a few more background sections left to complete and then I’ll be jumping back into the character animations.

I’ve been spending a lot of time on these 27 shots and setting up all of the compositing for the final edit. I’ve tested out the motion for timing with temporary placeholders for the character builds and everything flows flawlessly. The checklist I’ve been chipping away at is under half of the 300+ items that need to be either corrected or created, so there’s progress.
