pencil envy

Sigh. I'm so tired. I've just coloured loads of animation and it looks really wobbly. I'm not about to give up, but I'm near close to screaming and throwing my lightdesk against the wall. I wish I could animate as solidly as Glen Keane does (I realize that's asking alot.) I really need to practice, but due to NEWI's unreasonable deadlines I hardly have time.

I mean, look at how solid his drawings of Pocahontas are. I know the film isn't great and certainly not historically accurate, but I could watch the way her hair moves forever. Its animated so exquisitely.

As opposed to my crud: Cleaned up frame. Sigh...back to colouring.

I've come to a desicion. I am not going to finish this film before september 25th. It took me all day to colour the scene below. I've decided to finish one colour scene and complete the rough animation. I'll then present it to my tutors and use it as part of my 40 credit module(which means I will complete the film during my third year). Admittedly its not something I wanted to do. Working on two films is a guaranteed pain in the arse but its either finish this film early and have it look like crap, or put in the time and dedication so that it looks good.
