Hey guys!
I’ll go into detail about where we stand with Tatsu’s animation. I’ve been fixing loose ends, like facial expressions, which make a huge difference when animating, but let’s get to what matters:
We have 5 full story-progression animations completed, all quite long. Now I’m working on the other 5 that will form one continuous sequence with no pauses. I’m currently on the second one, so there are 3 left to finish the raw animation work. That makes 10 complex animations in total.
Adding physics and fluids, also a very time-consuming part.
Scene and lighting, the scene is good and practically finalized, just a few minor details left. The ambient lighting is also done.
Cameras and renders, we’ll need to take some time to carefully think through the angles to properly support the storytelling. I’d say this is the main element for the viewer, so we’ll dedicate special attention to it.
Editing, each animation will be assembled separately for sound design. Once all 10 are done, we’ll combine everything into a single file for the final edit, where we’ll add dialogue, sound effects, transitions, etc.
In short, as you can see, there’s still a lot of work ahead. I don’t want to leave you without content, so I want to try again to fit something in to publish for you. Last year I failed at that, but I still think it’s possible. I’m considering creating content tied to holiday dates, like Christmas, for example. I believe the next one would be Easter, if I’m not mistaken…You can help me with that, comment what you’d like to see, and maybe share what other creators usually do. That would be a big help for me.The activity here increased a lot with the Christmas animation, thank you very much for trusting our work! And sorry for taking a while to reply to some messages. I still receive a lot of DMs and sometimes get confused about who I’ve already answered and who I haven’t hahaha.
