Concept and production art for the camera
Most of the design decisions are explained on the page, I quite like it with a few more adjustments it could be improved but the deadline is knocking on the door :)
FSTS: Modelling a lion
Following the same basic techniques as in the previous one, extruding some faces and pulling vertexes, deleting half the body and mirroring the whole for symmetry.
Pre-Viz Modelling a deer in maya
Following these great tutorials:

I only wish I had the time to follow every single step, but since it's only for a pre-viz I made a quick deer model. Here is my progress:

Editing speech in Adobe Premiere
I realized the speech in my animatic is very clunky, after a bit of research it turns out that a more realistic outcome can be achieved using a slight fade in and out at the beginning and the end of the speech, imitating breathing in and out. I must say it really works :)
FSTS: Editing the sounds for the animatic
Well editing the sounds for the animatic is quicker than I expected. A chunk of the generic sounds are downloaded for free from freesound.org and they include:
-The Camera Click
-The Creepy Organ Loop
-A lion Roar
-A whip Sound
You can hear them (unedited of course) here:
Then my next step was to edit, cut and crop some of them and turn them into sounds that can fit my animatic well. I used Adobe Audition for that and mostly the stretch and pitch tools plus some of the echo effects and the reverse for a little bit more of a variety:
Finally I needed to record myself singing a creepy song (obviously) it needed to be a mix of the "Suspiria" soundtrack and the lullaby in "Pan's Labyrinth" (my favourite film in the whole wide world) but at the end everything sounded a bit too much like either of those two sadly, this is the original (get ready for giggles):
And since that wasn't enough I had to record something that sounds like a Merry Go Round, so that it fits with the idea of a circus setting. Sadly there aren't many of those around in Maidstone so I improvised with on of those manual whisks placed in a big mug. This is the original sound:
And the final background music for the animatic was made using those two sounds + the creepy organ loop. I think it turned out quite well, if I had a little bit more time I would have extended my "lalala" song (all rights reserved) a bit more so it flows better, but we have to chase the deadlines after all :) Here it is:
Now all that's left is get a hold of Julien as his french accent will be perfect for my characters. Update soon to follow :)

Practice Animatic: FSTS Adobe Premiere
After the introduction to the wonderful world of Adobe Premiere with Simon, I made a quick animatic using the like-to-like storyboard. Not the best looking one, but I think I got the basics down.

FSTS: Storyboard
Really happy with this one, I put all the effort I could in every individual cell, hopefully it shows! It looks really good in my mind, I only hope I will have a chance to explore it in an animatic and actually see if it works.
FSTS: Production art
I think I managed to stick to the style in which my little film is portrayed, the colours however are a bit too bright for the overall feeling of the story.
FSTS: Concept art
This is the first time where the concept art didn't seem as an obstacle and actually helped me visualize the space and realize the scenes on my storyboard. It is not the best looking one, but I am happy with it :)
FSTS: Character design sheets
I was waiting for the last minute to upload everything, it really helps me focus on the work that needs doing. The explanation for the characters is more thorough in the OGR :)
