Tuesday, November 14
Even with being sick in bed for 5 days, I'm still on track to finish animating before Thanksgiving Break.
I've made test puppets so I don't wear out my finished puppets while getting used to animating with them and getting a good feel for their movements.
Today I did some test animations, although most of my four hour block was dedicated to getting reacquainted with Dragonframe and getting used to animating with the paper puppets.
THU 11/16: Test Animations from 3:30-8pm
FRI 11/17: Animations from 6:30-10pm
SAT 11/18: Final Animations for Francis, Bernie and Marty
MON 11/20: Final Animations for Jax and whoever is left during lab time and from 5-8pm
TUE 11/21: Completing Final Animations from 4-10pm
11/22-11/26: Backgrounds, Lip Sync, Sound
11/27-12/3: Backgrounds, Compositing, Sound Design
12/4-12/9: Compositing, Credits and Captions

Francis Animation Test #2
Verdict: That arm on the left needs to chill, arm on the right is mighty swell

Saturday, November 11
The stencils for Marty, Francis and Bernie are finished and the watercolor paper is prepped to be painted!
Tomorrow will be for painting and assembling, as well as making the stencils fpr and painting and assembling Jax's puppet!
Big day tomorrow! I've purposefully scheduled to start animating on Tuesday in case I needed one extra day to figure out Jax's puppet with all the replacement parts -- she will be the most difficult to execute and animate because of how expressive her character is, but the other 3 puppets will be ready for animating on Tuesday and I'm hoping to get through as much of it as possible then BUT I'm going in with the mentality that if things don't work as planned, it'll be a test day and I'll still have 3 more sessions for final animations.
I've decided to do the lipsync in post to allow me more freedom for their mouth movements (looking at Jax and Francis' yawn in particular) but also I think this approach will help me better meld the two mediums and will hopefully be a connector and look cohesive for what I'm doing.

The mothman stencils have been made! next up is painting with gouache once i get my watercolor paper in the mail tomorrow (wednesday) and then cutting out the pieces and fastening them all together. The wings have a replacement piece in them to adjust when Marty is gesturing to himself (second picture).
Tomorrow & Thursday I'll be making the stencils for Francis based on my plans and will also plan out the puppets for Bernie and Jax!
Putting cactus cat on the back burner for now and will circle back if I have time in the last two weeks.

UNCRYPTID IS OFFICIALLY A STOP MOTION FILM !
After I lost my rough animations, I was talking with Christine before work on Friday and brought up my predicament. I told her what I thought as soon as I realized my roughs were missing, which was "this must be the universe punishing me for not making a stop motion film." Christine asked me why I didn't make it stop motion in the first place, and I told her it was because I ended up not having any time over the summer to make my puppets and sets and then she brought up the excellent point that I dont need to make 3 dimensional puppets, I can make paper puppets, so that's what I'm doing!
Haven't updated my schedule properly yet, but:
11/13 - All my puppets will be made (already flying through them)
11/14 - Animating
11/16 - Animating
11/18 - Animating
11/21 - Finishing up animating
11/22 to 11/26 - Thanksgiving break, I'll work on my backgrounds and start compositing my animations in after effects
11/27 to 12/3 - I'll finish up my backgrounds and continue compositing. I'll also take a day to mix my audio, and then my audio will be done.
12/3 to 12/10 - I'll finish up compositing, caption my film, and add my credits and the RIT bumpers.

Could not go to bed without at least starting to redo the lost roughs, so this is literally just the start of Francis' head again, I'm hoping it'll go a lot faster this time cuz I'd love to be done with the roughs for Francis by Saturday.

WEEK 10
Updated Checklist (from before the hiccup) Updated Schedule (taking the hiccup into account)

The experiment of using ToonSquid for on-the-go rough animating to help keep myself on schedule has failed and now I am a week behind schedule. My files mysteriously disappeared tonight, I'm not sure if it's an issue with my ipad or with the app. I've been trying to problem solve it, but I'll be moving away from ToonSquid (obviously) and back to Harmony to redo all of Francis and Marty's rough animations.
My current plan to keep myself on schedule is to change up how I'll be approaching clean up, keeping the final look a bit more rough and embracing some boil rather than doing a full clean up as I initially planned.
My focus for this film was to get better at 2D character animating and, I suppose, having to redo the rough animations for two characters is good practice, but I'll be working double time over the next week to get back to where I was in my schedule, and hopefully by the next full class critique I'll have all of my rough character animations done.
What is a Tea Project without some sort of hiccup? Not a Tea Project. So we move forward.

Tea is jumping around her schedule again
Lost some animating time this past week for family obligations.
Rendered backgrounds have officially started thanks to Gravity Falls
Rough animation continues this week, will have all of Marty and Frances roughed by next wednesday, and I'm holding myself to that so if I don't have that done by next wednesday, you have permission to throw pies in my face

I will have a LOT more to show next week. Most of my time this past week was consumed by grading papers while still getting over being sick and trying to catch up in all my other classes and at work, but I'm FINALLY caught up as of today.
I've also been balancing 2 films, and I've finally found a groove for working on both of them. Thursdays-Saturdays are for animating, Sundays-Tuesdays are for my radical film, and that's what I'll be mostly sticking to for the next 3 weeks. November will be looser, since I'll have hit most of my major milestones for my other film by then.
As mentioned in a previous post, this week is dedicated to roughing all of Marty's character animations. I'm planning to start roughing Francis, as well, even though that's not marked to start until next week. I'm gonna try to get ahead so that, when I inevitably fall behind, I'll be on schedule.
