We have decided to change our initial idea around, so we are now doing more of a time lapse project. We will be creating different 3D environments that will change over the course of the short film, involving some characters such as the Turtle to show the change in time.

This week we are focusing on working on our matte paintings and character facial animations. We will have posted to the team site drafts of our matte painting and character turn-arounds.

We will also be working on finishing a first script and environment designs that will be placed on our team site.

This week we have started learning how to do Matte Painting in Photoshop. Learning techniques of how to make our own custom brushes as well as layering each part of the image we are creating. How to base our paintings off a base image.

Our team is also currently working on character designs and layouts for our final project.

This week we are finding our team and our roles. My team has elected me as animator and modeller for characters.

We are planning to do a short video game trailer featuring our own version of Koopa Troopas from Mario mixed with Ninja Turtles.
