ORB 2 STATUS UPDATE 6 Hey everyone! While my programming job has been taking most of my time recently, I'm here with a pretty chunky update! If we weren't before, we are 100% in endgame territory now.
Here's what happened since the last update!
EPISODE ANIMATION: * Four animators got their scenes in, heck yea! It was the right call to reach out to other people for some of the remaining needed animation; I severely underestimated how much work I personally had left, and these animators did a really good job! Most of the revision work on them on my end is done as well. * I finished another of my scenes! When it comes to my scenes in the episode itself (not counting the intro and outro) I only have a few left. One of these, unfortunately, is one of the most complicated scenes of the episode, and it'll probably take longer to do than the average scene. Wish me luck!
INTRO: * I also did a good chunk of animation for the Intro! About 50% of it is fully done now (first draft, second draft, final animation, coloring, polishing, VFX), and I've began work on another chunk of it. Hoping to work a lot on it during this weekend!
EDITING: * Editing moved forward a little bit too, with some scenes getting their music. I am not super knowledgeable on music arrangement (& editing as a whole tbh) so I'll probably try to get some help with this from a few people I know. But it is nice that editing has formally started, even if it's something I'm only doing as a break from animation hehe.
So yeah! Pretty exciting stuff! Still, and i'm aware this is total party pooper behaviour, I do need to remind everyone that while there isn't a -lot- left, the things that are left are all pretty complex; and I'm still at the mercy of my programming job, so I can't promise a release date just yet. I'll let everyone know once I'm confident, but with the intro and another major scene left, it's possible that a rough work week might sap my energy and considerably slow progress for a bit. I'll do my best to make sure that doesn't happen, though!
I mentioned last time that we were getting close to the last update, and I think this might be it, actually. By this point, since all that remains are a few major things (and editing + continuity revisions), any progress shown in future updates would be too noodly/underwhelming, I think. Not substantial enough to warrant an update on their own without giving the impression that the episode would be ready within the week. I might still make another update before the release date announcement, whenever that happens, but I hope it's understandable if by this point I turn my attention toward wrapping up the intro and my remaining scenes :D
Anyway has Bones been in an animatic peek yet? Well here she is anyway.
