Intro to 2D II

After a long hiatus, I'm back, this semester I am taking 2D II class, where our class is working on a production project for a client. We have been asked what we expect from this class.

1. Briefly discuss what you anticipate that the challenges and opportunities of the 2D II "Loft Project" might be (for you)?
My first challenge will probably be pre-production. I'm not too skilled in this area, coming up with ideas, script writing, storyboarding, etc. Another challenge will be communicating, I've never been a type to speak out when in large groups, I'm a lot better with one on one, but when I'm in a group, I tend to just stay quiet a lot.
My strengths will mostly be in the production stage, with animating and maybe 3D work.

2. What are you most hoping to accomplish through this semester's work in 2D II?
I'm hoping to of course learn whatever I can from the class, whether it be pre, post, or in production.  Although, it's a lot like 2D I, except now we're working in a team, so of course increasing my people skills. Hopefully this might win awards like previous classes has done.

2D Animatic with Royalty Free clip

Here's another animatic. Just changed the music out with royalty free music, by Kevin MacLeod, Danse Macbre - Finale Kevin MacLeod.

2D Animatic02

Here is the latest animatic for 2D class.
The music in here is Lost in Las Vegas by Two Steps from Hell. I own no rights, the music will be replaced by something else royalty free, I'm just using the music for a placeholder and to get the feel for the short.

3D Bust Character 2

Have continued working on my Bust character. As it stands right now, I believe he is near completion, still a few tweeks here and there that it'll need, but overall, it's about done. The top two pictures is topology of the character, which has been a huge challenge. The bottom picture is an example of what it looks like smoothen out.

Next thing to work on is the animatic for that will feature this character.

2D short Characters

Been working on character concepts. I have a total of 5 to 7 characters, 3 or 4 will be students, 2 or 3 professors. I based these people off professors, classmates, and friends (unrelated to school). After a while I started just having fun making caricatures haha.

3D Bust Character

Here is the progress being made on my Bust character. I think I'm finally getting the topology right, which I've been struggling with for a while, because of the oversized mouth.

New 2D Animatic

here is my new 2D animatic. Not much new, apart for 2 new pieces of dialogue.
