Ship!
Design Pack due Tomorrow~!!!

I asked Mark about design pack, and it is due tomorrow (March 14th).
It doen't need to be printed out; it can be handed in digitally.
Hmmm...lastly-
in tomorrow's Story class, I heard that we are going to watch a movie for Tuesday's test.
I am not sure what will happen exactly, but I think that's what I heard...
I guess it might affect on your Tuesday's test if you don't show up for tomorrow's morning class.
You all have a great day :)

Layout Style
layout sample thingy
here are some layouts from samurai jack.
i think it would fit alot better than invader zim, and it looks funner to try!
i dont think its any simpler than invader zim; just that samurai jack uses no lines but separates forms with shapes of colour. what do u guys think??? im gonna vote for samurai jack =)
and heres a really rough rough rough sample that i did... rough.very ROUGH.
so heres what i did:
- i used gradient tool of teal blue and dis saturated yellow for the background colour
- i chose a grainy brush and picked up colours on the background and swiped lightly across to add some texture. add stars =)
- made a new layer and i used a normal brush and added grass ( does it have to really be corn field? i think it would make our life so much easier if it was just a hay field.)
- added swipes of high lights, and make a layer under the grass and add some shadow with a grayer tone
- with the similar grainy brush, pick a little bit darker colour from the grass and swipe some at the bottom so it doesnt look as cheap and more interesting lol
i think for this style, colour is very important. it has to look unified, yet contrasted.
i think we can rely on our colour supervisor mi yeon for that, to make swatches.
no lines were used in making the simple background i made, cuz it was a easy one, but if u get detailed layout scenes, then i suggest roughing out the layout first, then use that as a guide and build the layout.
yea..
i dunno, ill do more tmr before class if i woke up early enough haha.

REMINDER
Meeting Tuesday! 1:00pm
If you check your calender I handed out you will see what is happening tomorrow, but as a brief recap:
1. Bring in what scenes you've work booked already.
( As an idea for progression, I've pretty much finished work booking all of my scenes. )
2. You will get to see how the characters are coming along in Flash. You will also learn how they work.
3. You will also be able to compare your work booked layouts to others who have scenes around yours. This will help with consistency.
These three things are all very important. Especially the third.
You must make sure your scenes work for flash before Friday.
Today is a good day to find out if your scenes do or do not work for flash as they are.
You can workbook digitally if you want. I'm doing mine strait in flash.
See you all tomorrow for the weekly group meeting. 1pm
Thanks

So here's the kid (Billy?) in all his flashy glory. Not totally done, (ie he needs mouth and eye shapes) but he's almost there. I think we should change his proportions a bit though. The alien is coming along as well. I may be able to get his turnaround done tonight. We'll see.
Also here's a video of the kid that I did in maya:
So anyone that wants to help tomorrow is welcome to come, and is very appreciated. I don't know exactly what will be left to do (other than one billion mouth shapes), but I'm sure there will be no shortage of work. Bring a list of any props that you need to do for your scenes, and I can help you build them.
SO to recap: Sunday at 12:00 we are having a character building session. Please come. This means you Lettie and Lisa.
