So here's the "boundaries" animation with sound...I am not sure how the sound levels are.
they don't peak but go past the mid-point. yet, i have to turn up my speakers a lot to hear anything.
Are they ok? Not ok? I'm so great at sound.

Also there's a part that drives me nuts with "footsies"...the sound crackles a tiny. drives me insane, i don't know how that happened. playing with the levels doesn't help at all, either.

Here's what's left to do:
-space out more between frames
-make the hands at the end linger longer, now they disappear in the final seconds
-mask out the writing on one of the hands holding hands in the first scene....i wanted it to look natural, but everyone asks "why is there writing on her hand??"
-if time permits, revisit some of the green screen. You can see it pretty bad in the holding hands scene in the fleshtone.

So I need an opinion: I changed the lighting around, giving it depth, but I don't know...do you like this one or the previous one better?????
I'm lost, I can't tell anymore.

Changed some things around....this is for the "contact" animation.

Andy! Help!

The easy-ease frames look terrible!! :(






I altered the ease keyframes in the graph editor, but when i make the peak more drastic the top is far too pinched. I tried fixing that, and it just didn't work...not sure what to do!!! Eeek!

I want to cast away on the banks of New York too!

I'd be posting my work, but After Effects is being a bitch with regards to sound...it says AIFF files are acceptable (as Adobe's site claims), but when I open my project it says files are missing, and they're always the sound files.

Forget IP...I want to live on a boat!!!!!! One of my favorite artists, Swoon, is doing this AMAZING project...I can't believe the creativity in people sometimes. Forget getting a job, I'd forgo it all just to do something like this.....wow, this is soooo exciting!!!!!!!!!!

So...tape or straight pins? I did a mock-up with the pins AND tape...i've had about 50-50 on the polls I've taken on people.






















Well, anyway, I decided to render one with tape. I'm leaning toward tape...(oh, and i know on the last scene the tape goes away too fast from the borders...i've fixed that. Didn't want to re-render it as it took 4 hours to render last time.)





Didn't realize it when I shot it, but some people have suggested that the last scene might insinuate anti-interracial ideas. I am going to visit the teens today (Thursday) to do some voice-overs, so I'll probably reshoot these.


Also, finalizing "equation" animation....here's a screenshot.

Background Troubles Again

I'm having such difficutly with this animation's background. Flat plane or none at all? I really don't like these colors, they don't have enough contrast.
