leebrontide: leebrontide:leebrontide:leebrontide:I thought I posted a few of these before, but it it looks like I didn’t?For those just joining now, I’m making an excessively ambitious animated trailer for my first book (Secondhand Origin Stories, which is actually already out, but whatever, I’m aiming to finish this by the time the sequel releases.). These are some of the backgrounds I’ve been putting together to that end, in various stages of completion. Please excuse missing relevant details- some of those details are destined to be covered by the figures I’m not yet posting.I’m really pleased with how these are coming out, overall. They have a few tweaks yet but hey I can’t show you everything before I release the trailer, right?I really wanted to give the whole thing a cinematic flair, without loosing the moody, introspective vibe of the book. I’m finding this kind of visual worldbuilding and character building really rewarding. I can go over the top with that in a way that wasn’t feasible when I was doing comics. I feel like once the more visible scifi/superhero elements are added (mainly via the figures) it’ll really showcase my story as a grounded, character driven kind of scifi, which is pretty much my whole deal.I hope you like them! Work on the trailer continues, but by bit! At this point I’m even starting to do character animation that doesn’t involve rotoscoping. Eventually I’ll figure out how to export GIFs so I can actually show you all some movement. I’m sorry, I just am really proud of this cluttered room. Thanks to the real current and former teens who contributed to it’s development. I crammed a lot of low key character bits into this one- a lot more than Jamie’s pristine Pottery Barn Catalogue of a bedroom. I just keep muttering to myself about how I’m going to have simple character designs, and simple backgrounds, and limited movement and then I start messing with reflections and perspective and rotoscoping and I know I have lost all control over this project that was ridiculous to begin with but I can’t stop now. -- source link
