*Too Good to be True

Wow Weeeeee~!!

I just received some good news that our deadline have been extended to one more week.
But that doesn't mean I can take this for granted, slow down my production speed, instead I want to use the extra time to do a better job.

Another piece of good news is that my storyboards are finally completed and approved. However, as I started doing the first frame of my animatic, it gave me several problems.

Sadden..
What I did was I did an animation of my text disappearing but as I rendered it out; it appears to be empty. I was thinking "Oh no! How am I going to put the words together with my girl" Another problem was the pace of the animation. Everything was just in a mess.

Luckily lucky man came to my side, Alan. I told him my problem and he told me that I am doing a more troublesome method. Instead, I should just animate the text from After Effects and better still more special effects can be added.

He demonstrated to me how to animate the text. What he did was to actually make the text into 3D allowing it to be rotated and blown away. He also helped me with the text animating according to the girl's scene. Many effects were applied too; like adding shadows and such.

Once again, thanks Mr. Alan for showing me all these wonderful tricks.

Oo.. After I was satisfied with the result, I showed it to Hanis. She mentioned that the bed is in the middle and that I should shift the wall maybe more to the right or the left as she seemed to still look at the blank screen even before lookin at the gal..

So this is yet another problem which I have yet to settle.

Hopefully everything will turn out smoothly
