Animation underway!

I'm so excited to finally be animating. The pre-production stages were tedious but presenting the animatic in class was a great feeling. It was awesome to see everything come together like that and I can't wait to see how everything comes together towards the end of the semester. Like any shcedule, there are somethings that have changed since I made my schedule. I negated to consider Spring Break into my plans and as such am behind where I would like to be. I think getting all of the hand-drawn animation done in two weeks was a bold goal and it was too bold as it turns out. I've got some stuff done but not nearly as much as I had wanted. My main reasoning for the timing was to hit each of the image checks with a lot of stuff to show. I do however have a crafty plan. I still want a majority of the animation done by the 2nd image check but if I hire a sound designer like Shannon suggested, that will free up and extra week and a half or so for more animating. I'm kinda bummed I won't have some solid things but the run cycle is a rough draft right now,  and the jet pack bit should be ready too. Ideally I'd like to have the rock climbing, swimming, and skydiving bits done too but we'll see about that. I'm not worried about the project as a whole, once I get into a solid routine things should get done nicely.
