[It's not far anyway]
Hello everyone! I've been getting a lot more hits recently, not much, but I can tell people are at least curious to what is going on. I found a new, stronger, better website to learn Gaelic at and am quite excited to begin some good studying. It's exciting to know that soon it will be spring break, and I will be able to devote my full attention to this animation. Yesterday I began working on my school projects and communicating with the girl who I hope will be doing the voice of Kolevis, the main character. In the end I hope to be strong enough in the language to pull it off for my character Sionn. So right now I haven't completed anymore of the animation but I am trying to pull together a good script for it. I will also scan in a backdrop and a frame of Kolevis for you all to see. I will update tomorrow with those so stay tuned!
Bho Sionn!

False. Okay so after I became completely creative, I have started work on this practice animation. Practice meaning a short, 2 minute-4 minute animation. Simple. This animation is going to contain top-notch character imaging. I am not going to slack this one off like I did when I rushed my animation jobs. The beauty of this is that I have the time, the free time to do this. To get it done right. This animation COULD be colored, but for right now I am thinking it just as pencil sketches. I have worked up the thesis for the animation:
Setting: Scotland Lowlands
Characters: Sionn and Kolevis from the fanfic Jedi Reloaded
Layers: 3
Effects: None
Script: Basic 2-3 paragraph conversation between the two characters. Perhaps a narrative script.
Language: Scots Gaelic
Subtitles: English
Size/Quality: 768x1050 pixels - widescreen
Speed: 15 fps
Acting: 2 voice/3 voice actors. Basic Scots Gaelic knownledge...conversation will be nothing too difficult
Drama: Nothing too dramatic. Some heartfelt emotions. No crying. Simple, casual, but meaningful
And I have already began work on it. I have just finished the first backdrop for the first scene. It hasn't been shaded yet, but I am trying to figure out just how I am going to conduct the shading. So any suggestions would be nice. It's basic lineart with line-weight right now. I am now going to sit back down at my light table and whip out the next backdrop. Please post any concerns or ideas. I could really use them.
EDIT: Ok so now at 4AM, I have completed one backdrop. This backdrop can be used to be stationary. It is the first backdrop of the animation and I have done 4 frames for this backdrop with moving scenery. This can create a small loop, but definitely needs to be added on. This is in no way a big feat. On top of that, I began working on the next backdrop, and completed 2 frames of it. This is the third backdrop to be used, but it is a constantly moving backdrop, hence the 2 frames. On top of that I completed 4 frames of Kolevis arriving on the Scottish plains. This is good because getting the body down and the speed of things is a rather key part of any animation, so I feel this is a great start. I will do some more work on it tomorrow as well brush up on my Gaelic learning. My light table heats up rather quickly so its best not to work more than 3 hours at a time.
