Sound Design Go!

We have a working sound edit completed yesterday to screen our film in class on Saturday. Here's a shot of our film hooked up to surround sound to mix levels the best we can.

Two Final Shots from the film!

Title and composite update

We're on the home stretch and the film in coming together slowly but surely. We have put off our title shot for some time now but finally have a stand in.

Credits Animation

Here is the first animation "test" for the page turn animation we will be using for our credit sequence. It will eventually have the page animated in with book images and title composited in After Effects.

Retro Rocket Ship Take Two

Rocket Ship Fire Test 2 from Halcyon-17 on Vimeo.

We wanted the rocket to have more of a paper puppet sort of feeling and the old flame wasn't quite right. Buying some trick birthday candles and a barbecue lighter, we had some fun compositing a homemade fire effect and shaking the rocket around like a wet noodle.

Character Assets Completed

Symbols that will be used for out cutout animation style were created in Illustrator in the proper perspective of each shot. Below is the sheet that includes all character assets ready for animation.

Text Testing

Here's a rough attempt at making words that solidify into text solidify into uh... dirt? Check it out!
