Fixed a lot of little things. Cleaned up the paths. Made little animations, such as birds flapping. The flow is better. But it's reached the point where the backgrounds I make will determine the overall feel. The fireworks are just dandy.
A lot of the little issues have been corrected, such as the windmill not panning. I'm currently working on the backgrounds right now.
Newest vid. I stupidly keep trying to make true-HD animation videos, resulting in super-lag on my end - both for rendering and for just using the workspace. Next video project, I'm bringing the res to something more manageable. (like 1/4 of the size)
Originally, I compressed it in Rough Draft/Quarter size. Result? 1.5 gigs. I tossed it in virtualDub with a really lame compressor to bring it to 50 megs. Quality doesn't matter. The focus was seeing the overall flow. The backgrounds are all Googled. I was using both the colors and settings to help plot out how the real background will look.
Notes : -Clean up the dog motion -Change the 'sky' movement. -Color Jetpack girl. -Don't make the Windmills move in the composite. Move them in the Full Copy. -Don't make Roof Girl move in the composite. Move them in the Full Copy. -Clean up Balloon Boy's path before meeting Roof girl. -Stretch out Balloons Flying composition. -Fireworks. Use After Effects fireworks.
