Moonwalker Update

It's been along while since my last post but I have done lots of progress along the way. All the 2d animations are done. Now I just have to work on 3d shots, effects, and clean up on backgrounds

Moonwalker Update

Finnally, a new update. I feel like it's been a while. So after this semester, this is what I have for the video. There is still one more week but mostly it will just be more backgrounds. Still so much to do but seeing that I started with just that 30 clip, I'm pretty proud of myself. There's a few awkward bits still, like the occasional flashing between scenes. It's an easy fix but I'm to tired and it takes forever to render this thing through. And there's still that giant gap where the space montage is. I'm still really stuck with that part and if anybody is willing to help I would be most grateful.

Moonwalker Update: Background Sketches: Control's Office

Moonwalker Update!!

Yes I know it's been forever. I've started working really roughs. I probably won't get to clean up this semester.

Moonwalker Update!!!

I compiled everything I have at the moment for Moonwalker. There's still some back holes and some timing issues but this is the general idea. A lot of these boards are really rough so I'll explain basicly what's going on. If you have any tips or advice it will be gladly welcomed


Alright so, it begins at the Captain's house, a wreck and he is disheveled after his family has left. He looks up at the sky and longs for more.

At his job, he is just one of many a member of Setnorm Corporation. The Captain is picked out for a new mission and hauled off to the lab. The Scientist leads him over to his new ship but on the way he catches a glimpse of the SS Julien, but is pulled away to his real vessel, a boring delivery ship.

After everyone leaves he sneaks around and steals the Julien to go wherever he pleases
(This is where the major blackhole but basicly it's going to be him flying around being happy)

The alarm goes off at Setnorm and the Commander is called out to retrieve him. The Captain ignores their warnings and continues to try to fly off. The Commander beams aboard and his team tries to break down the door. The Captain tries to hold them off but the photo of his family falls out then realizes there's no point and returns back to his seat. He flicks a button just in time as the door breaks down.

The Captain shuts his eyes as he accepts his fate as the ship self destructs.


Sad I know
Sorry about that
Well no not really
Things will more then likely be changed around but as I said this is just the basics.
Gotta start somewhere

Moonwalker Clip

It's been up for a couple of days but this is what i've got for the Moonwalker clip i worked on all semester. still need a lot of work but i'm moving on to the rest of the video. as i say in the youtube description I put in some temp coloring and some very basic effects. Over winter break I want to have all of the rest story boarded and focus more on backgrounds

The Scientist character designs

He is employed by the Setnorm Corporation, and his duty is to prepare the Captain for his voyage.
He’s dedicated to his work however things don’t always work out. He’s terrified of his boss, Control and rather not get on his bad side.

Moonwalker Update

Got new scenes really roughed out and put together. Still lots to do but yay progress!!

Starting Scientist Kyle

I'm taking this previous design for Kyle's cameo as the  Setnorm scientist who gets the main character ready for his journey. I'm trying out some different variations right now.

I like this last design using a bit of triangle for the body shape tying it in a bit with his boss (Jon). I have to change the proportions a bit though, he's a little too hero-ish

Ranger Danger Update

First I got a bit more of to my Commander scene. Hopefully this clip will play though

Then I got some video of the guys at last Friday's Late Nite Wake Up Show. There is The Familiar

 

More should be up soon.

Commander Walk Rough

the next scene i'm working on is The Commander walking in and looking at a computer. i got a cleaner pass of The Commander and i've started doing the Worker he looks at

More Storyboards and other upates

Got more of the bridge figured out. I actually have a little bit more done, or at lest sketched out and a title up so I'll be posting up those really soon. if not tomorrow. It's been pretty helpful to work in cameos into the story. Oh yeah, I don't think I wrote it down here but I'm working the guys into the story. I liked my Evil Jon and Scientist Kyle from my character design project. I couldn't use Secret Agent Kellan so instead I made him the head of the security squad.  I also figured out ship designs. 

So this is the SS Julien. (If anyone understands what the model code stands for I will give you a prize, like an original drawing or something of that sort.) I went with closer to a retro feel. At first I looked at more of the sleeker longer style but in the end I went closer to the toy rocket style. Even with the color scheme. I wanted to make it smaller too just so it's easier to believe our Captain can run it by himself

We also have the enemy ship C2A111. I wanted it to look like a giant always watching eye.

Lastly I have a possible Title for the beginning. Based off of Ranger Danger's band sticker. 

Moonwalker Progress

Slowly but surely I'm making progress. Here's two scenes kind of roughed out. I do have more of an animatic but some timing changes need to be done

Something's Wrong On The SS Julien

Do Not Trust

Moonwalker Update: Setnorm Guard

Trying to come up with other character designs. This is one Setnorm Corporation Guards, (Setnorm is an anagram for monster). So I had an idea of like a Robocop, Judge Dredd, Storm trooper mixture and what I have is a GI Joe Cobra Commander thing. lol

A Really Quick Scene

just a really quick scene i've been working on in animation 3. i got the keyframes and basically all the inbetweens

Moonwalker Storyboard

So here is the start of the music video

But for my class I've been focusing more on later in the song
