Pet Park Review 3/30/2016

Logline: A small dog goes to the Pet Park one sunny afternoon to play with some unusual pet friends.

Animatic:  

Danyah:  

My focus for this portion on the project it adding additional frame and the transitions to create a more fluid motion, and also adding accessories and cleaning some lines. I also started importing into After Effects and testing editing in it. The next step will be to continue in After Effect and testing masking/rotoscoping the blades of grass to place the ostrich in the background. And with enough time I would also like to include some sound FX to aid the transitions since they are dependant on audio triggers.

Bekha:

I have finalized the key frames for the two parts of the ostrich. I am no cleaning up the lines and positions of the legs. After a decision made with the group, I have added the necessary frames to show the ostrich coming to a stop and the dog hopping off the bird’s back. The two scenes work with the audio that will be added later. I have also edited the length of the scenes so we have an almost final idea of how long the scene shall last. 

Zach:

For the gorilla animation, I finished the gorilla's body and polished the dog's movement. I also started drawing the final keyframes for the dog. Once I finish the final key frames for the dog, I will start working on coloring and lighting before finally filling in the missing frames.

Anthony:

Mainly over the past week I've been working more on animation and putting together an animatic. For the first shot when the man and the dog are walking into the park, I was having trouble having the dog waking up the sidewalk at the same speed as the man, so I changed the walk into a run. I did some rough animation and over the next week I'll clean that up.  I also changed the camera and lighting positions in the shots.  The shadows created by the lights weren't giving a good angle, so I changed it to give a more appealing look.

Also it was suggested to change the last camera shot to match the intro shot, so I fixed that.  In the near future I will continue animating and cleaning up all the animation, as well as assisting others and begin coloring.
