Huge update!!

Ahh well first off i'm just gonna apologize for not uploading in ages, I've been super busy with class work and updating about my animation was the last thing on my mind.

The first thing that happened was that i worked with Dane to fix the trumpet effect in our animation because it did not fit the tone for the rest of our music, So using a few tools that for the life of me I cannot remember the names of  we played around with the trumpet to try and match it to the Spyglass music. I have been re timing sounds as more of the animation has been coming in, and playing around with the spyglass music so a certain part plays longer without sounding stupid. Dane also showed me how to get rid of unnecessary sound in the bug feet sounds with was good cause that meant i turn them up louder without hearing other random sounds with it.

Also while doing this i was working on my shot for the animation, I needed to get the pattern for the bug that Ethan was going to add in after effects and also work on my shot Dora had done a good amount of work on it before i got to it.
 
So my job was to add in more in between frames that were missing and add all the antennas for the bug and just clean up some of the line work.

So here was one of the cleaned up shot's ready to be colored.













Here is one of the final shots all colored and ready for Dora to do the eyes

 So ive just been working on this as well as Frasers and Thaw stuff.

Bug Update

Because there is only a little to do on sound at the moment which is to edit some of the sounds into separate files so it is a little cleaner, I have asked Dora if she has any animation she wants me to help clean up. So I now have shot 5 to add expression and some in-betweens to, I will be starting that tomorrow because I do not have my drawing tablet here today.

Sound (Trumpet)

Working on adding the trumpet to the other sounds for the animatic, tomorrow I am breaking the sound down into its separate parts.

Groups thoughts on sound.

So I uploaded about 21 different songs to the Meemers WIP drive on Monday 23rd and my group was quite busy so they are looking at them today.

Lauren did enjoy Fast Talkin, Iron horse and Bass Walker.
Ethan also seems to like Fast Talkin
Sam being the amazing bean he is wrote up everything he thought about all of the sounds and posted it on his blog.
Dora's Favorites: (not in order) Dora might also write up more of her thoughts to show me on theses songs but that might alos be posted to her blog.
Spy glass Ossuary 6 Ossuary 4 oppressive gloom Iron horse Evening of chaos deep haze bass walker anguish

But after this i will work more on so,e suggestions they have given me for the music, like maybe slowing down or just changing little parts.

Sound Update

I missed the group meeting on Friday 21/05/2016 but I talked to my group over the weekend and they mentioned that Dane said I was on the right track but said to look into some music, something along the lines of dark/gloomy jazz and bass solos just to help with the creepy mood as well as filling the emptyness,

I had a quick talk to him today about it and he told me to look through Incompetech music collections and I could find something to work with. So thats my plan today as well as changing over my holy bottle sound effect to the one Lauren gave me.

Bug Expression and Pose Clean

Here is the clean versions of the bugs Pose and Expression

Sound (notes)

I forgot to mention the help I got from Joseph and Hamish with the rough sound work I did for my group (which was completed yesterday but I cant upload it onto blogger) . . . . .So thanks :D
