HAHAHAHAHA I'M SO EXCITED I HAVE TO POST
We have our fist scene DONE and it looks SO FREAKING COOL. Ok so it's short (2 secs) but it's not the length that's important, it's how you use it...uhm, yeah. Well actually, I can't really post it yet but maybe next week
On a production note, we manage to smoothen the kinks a little bit here and there. Like you know making standards to follow like scanning on blabla DPI, field size should be like dat, clean-up urself, color modelsheets, all of dat lah. It's really turning out to be an enjoyable ride
FYI, Toonboom's camera...thingy....is like the best thing EVER. I did a camera shake (testing only la) and it was FUN. And might be useless to some people but if you import a .png file into Toonboom, it'll convert it to .targa
MnU, you da best

Right! The storyboards almost done...Hoos just have to put in the finishing touches to the music and gnd is now working on the color keys for each scene. Me,Ed and Gnd have been meeting up since last week to brainstorm and finalize the thumbnails n storyboards. Thanks very much Ayon for your input,it's been a life saver. After a couple of strenuous burning of the midnight oil,Director Ed is sick,I'm feeling the bug too and Director Gnd is sick of coming over and probably catching the bug too. XD
More updates to come. Will be having another group meeting soon once all the scenes in the storyboards have been fleshed out.
