Layout Exercise #2

Hello yall!
today I had some nice discussion with jack and vivian about our layout designs and styles.
we went over each others drawing and made comments on whether or not they fit the current character designs.

So in order to see if they go together, Jack and I thought we could do a rough layout with evil stevil character in it.

feel free to use your artistic abilities to change the current evil stevil design to fit your own layout style that collaborates the both.

and.. in tracking wise, we are thinking by Friday we can bring these in and discuss as a small group or in a group meeting if we r going to have one

So 1 drawing of layout + the character in it by friday 18th..

have a nice day folks!
(oh and again, if you like to do one also, please feel free to do them and your name will be tracked on that certain exercise.)

ATTENTION: Story Team, and ANIM, LAYOUT, BG & INK/PAINT Supervisors

STORY TEAM: MEETING 4pm SUNDAY
Just a friendly reminder that we have a story meeting on Sunday starting around 4pm. We'll probably be working well into the night because Monday is our day off, so if possible plan to be there a while. I will bring copies of the script as well as my laptop. Please bring as many post-it notes as you can - I am running out and I forgot to buy more while the bookstore was open. (There is also the potential for a meeting on Monday afternoon or evening, but we can decide that while we are together.)

LAYOUT, BG PAINT, INK & PAINT and ANIMATION SUPERVISORS: POTENTIAL FOR MEETING WEEK 2
Hey guys, I was wondering about the possibility of having a small meeting with the supervisors of layout, BG, animation, and ink & paint (as well as anyone else who wants to be there) this coming week so that we might have a focused discussion about organization. Specifically how we are going to organize the production pipeline and network folder-system so that we can work together to effectively manage all of the artwork that is going to be produced. We need to have a coherent system that works for our group and our film so that things go as smoothly as possible once we start into production, and gives us what we need to go into post-production. I know the teachers, especially Tony, will have advice for us on this matter, but I have a gut feeling that we should be proactive on this and get started ourselves as soon as possible. Let me know what you guys think!

Well, that's it for now. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

ATTN: Layout People

------------THIS POST is to LAYOUT PEOPLE---------------------

hello everyone!

today was a great meeting, everyone showed up and we all had nice discussions about our film.

In order to get our design pack ready, Jack and I discussed what layout people can do in order to prepare.

I think we can do Style exploration + location designs such as:
1. The desert
2. ES shack(exterior)
3. Podium & stage area.

i didn't put ES shack interior because it is going to tie in with the storyboard crew.

Jack and I was thinking about 2 drawings per person, clean rough and color if u want.

I don't know who else volunteered to do layout other than jack, vivian, nabz and I...
if you would like to contribute, please feel free to do them !! :D
but if u were already assigned to Designpack crew.. don't forget to put that into priority first..!

lets have these drawings by tuesday meeting and present to fellow mates.

have a nice day !:D

meeting on THURSDAY!!!!

hello everyone,
I asked around people today in lifedrawing class and it seems like people are free on Thursdays.
So I thought it is important to notify everybody about the next meeting time.
MEETING is on THURSDAY 1:00PM and its most likely be about Finalizing our Story.

whatever gets discussed and decided on thursday would likely be set in STONE... :)

so. . please attend!

------------------------------------------------------------

I just wanted to throw in some kind of content of meeting.

1. VOTE: OLD IDEA vs NEW IDEA
- everyone has to say their opinion regarding two different ideas. NO WHATEVER.. :)

2. then we can move on to 3 acts.
- take each act and lay out the events BEAT BY BEAT. (that way we can always use the BEAT SCRIPT later on too, if we get stuck doing layout or animation etc.)
- we also decide necessary dialogues

3. Finally, we finish the meeting with Finalized BEAT SCRIPT that someone can type up a good copy. :D

------------------------------------------------------------

if i missed any important steps up there.. please feel free to add comments!:D

Back to the Grind: IMPORTANT DATE!

hey guys. I've been speaking with Rory and we realised that our class has monday off. So we figured why not take advantage of that opportunity. So on Monday Jan 7. at 11am lets all meet in the studio for a full day of work on the film. I believe we could get a lot done and there is no reason why we shouldn't be able to dedicate this entire day to progress on the film.

to re-cap what happened over the break, we had some really good debates and the general consensus seems to be that death is now Evil Stevils adversary. Based on everyones input, this seems liek it will work a lot better without disturbing our existing story too much. I'm not sure how many people have moved forward from this..Rory and I have done some beat scripting individually, and ive done some thumb nail boards. Whatever the case, I think it's extremely important that we meet on monday.

Monday Jan 7 @ 11am

see you all there. enjoy the remainder of the break.

found this pic. and it made me think of Evil Stevil's shack. ha!
