Animation Tests

Roughs are My Favorite

I'm happy to say that animation has officially begun!

So It Begins.

I have to fill up all these boxes with check marks in the next 3 1/2 months. Wish me luck.

iPhone, iPad Shortcut Icon

If anyone is interested, you can now create a shortcut app on your iPhone or iPad directly to this blog. When you're on the main blog page, just hit "Add to Home Screen" and enter "Crystalline" for the title, and you'll have a super nifty icon right on your homepage.

*EDIT* Apparently I don't know what I'm doing haha... give it a little bit and I'll figure out why it's not working.

*EDIT 2* Okay, it should work now. I had to disable the mobile version of the blog, which I didn't really like anyway. So, if anyone is inclined, add Crystalline to your homepage on your iPhone or iPad! 

Proof of Concept

This shot was created basically to get a feel for animating the characters, as well as figure out how my post production process will work with scanning, coloring, and compositing each shot. So, this shot won't be in the film, but this is more or less what the final film will look like. Click here to view a mobile-friendly version.

Storyboard - Animatic

Here is the more complete storyboard for the film, along with the final storyboard animatic before animation begins, with the timing and basic key poses worked out. I've also included my initial thumbnails that were done at the very beginning of development. Click here to view a mobile friendly version of the video.

Color Script - Animatic

Here is the color script for the film, as well as the first animatic made using that color script, to give a basic idea of the timing for the film. Click here to view a mobile-friendly version of the video.
