Busy Busy

Sorry for the lack up updates, school has really started to pick up and I've been bogged down with so much schoolwork lately that I haven't been able to go out all that much. I did go out today for two hours in search of construction paper for a cut out animation class but had no luck what so ever, I did somehow manage not to get lost wondering around by myself, which is good! I am really starting to get the lay of the land! 

But as I have worked Katie and Chris went to the beach and Kristin went out to Macau with the school. I heard though that it is better to go with out teachers since what is big in Macau is the gambling so I think the plan is to head out there on our own at some point. I think Kristin got some good pictures of the more historical aspects that can be found; I might post them up later. 

So I had another assignment due for Principles of scene design that we had to do twice the amount of frames as the last assignment, with an original idea, with the same amount of time; to say the least it was a bit of a challenge. I decided to go with a cut scene from a video game concept I came up with last quarter; in which two guys running one of those cheesy ghost hunting website go to a fort and perform a ritual which then summons a whole bunch of ghosts that they have to deal with. This scene is them getting to the fort and performing the ritual.

This is an areal shot of the fort that the Professor wanted me to put in, I'm not very fond of it :/

 This is a view from behind the tree looking down as the characters walk toward it.

 Gray guy is complaining to white about how stupid of an idea this is.

 White guy is all like "chill out bro stop being such a baby!' or something along those lines :P

 "we are already here" continues the white guy

 Pulls out the summoning book

 Reads and oh no all the ghosts come out!!!

I must admit I had the most fun drawing the last one!
