Video Blockand updates

Last week video block was filme and submitted. Given it is for the animation I did not shoot the static images from the opening sequence. Also given there is not much movement from either of the characters was able to double up the shots and just copy and paste. Was useful for getting some framing with live action and movement in the frame.

Am now moving to some of the 'paperwork', of finalising production pipeline, budgets and file naming and set ups. I'm actually looking forward to this as I like working in clean organised spaces, which includes the virtual. Having everything tidy and organised will help me know exactly where I am at and where to move next.

The organisation of all files and work flows will help with the work I still need to complete for my production bible. I am behind in the creation of artwork for the bible, but this has been as much about a crisis of confidence in my ability to create images as it has any kind of procrastination and lack of direction. I am still very uncomfortable in creating the images to the level i want, but I have to remind myself that I was in a similar position last year and ended up being very happy with the images I created. I think I need to just relax and not expect them to come quickly. I also need to know more detail when creating the drawings, as I find when I start there are still certain things I don't know about the characters and environments, and I need to know these things in advance, as I don't seem to be able to come up with ideas on the page as i go. I need to know where I am going and draw it, rather than start and chuck ideas on the page.
