A blog dump 02/14/2025

HI! I’ve got many updates to share with you. Firstly, were moving into staging our initial layout animatic, featuring full character and set models. There are some technical difficulties with some of our rigs, so while the rigging team irons out those details, we continue forward with the characters T-posed for these shots. Once the rigs are fixed, I’ll go back in and update the scenes to be blocked and posed. Then animation can begin!

TENTATIVE Scene 004 Shot 070

Obviously, in the final version, the characters won’t be clipping through the floor, but the rigs don’t allow for a kneeling position, so this is what we have for now.

Another big thing I’ve been working on these past few weeks is getting the Adobe Premier movie file organized and ready for the final voice actor takes and the beginning of animation. This took me a few hours, as I color-coordinated everything, named layers, and gave it the organization it needed. The file should make it much easier to insert new animation shot iterations and work on audio mixing.

A peek at the editing window!

This window can seem overwhelming to the average viewer, but it’s simpler than you think! Audio is down at the bottom, with dark purple being voice lines and magenta being music. Scene view is at the top in yellow, and as we begin to add more scene iterations, we can easily remove and replace the old ones in the timeline :)
