Meteor

It's about time I get another video on my youtube channel. I've been working on this animation for months. A few weeks ago I started working on the short more intensely. I gave myself a deadline of May 12, just so I'll actually finish it. This short animation is being created in Maya. The short is called Meteor.

I'm about 90 percent done with it right now. Yesterday I began on the last scene and started working with the last set. You probably won't notice but I separated different effects that I wanted to pursue into different sets. I did that to keep animating smooth, well as smooth as possible. What I forgot to mention is that I'm working on a glitchy windows computer. It's the same computer I made my other animation shorts with and I made Rockstar and Wendy with that computer. The computer is now glitchy and will randomly freeze when it feels like it. Sometimes It'll run for hours and hours but other times it will freeze when it boots up. It's been an adventure.

I render the finished animated shots into TIFF pictures and then run them over to my Macbook. Once the frames are on the Macbook I run them through After Effects to do some touch ups. I render that into a quicktime video and edit the shot in Adobe Premiere. When I'm in the editor I conform the shot into a 720 size. It was originally rendered into a standard 640 size.

I am so excited to show this short on May 12. It will be the first animated short from me in two and a half years. I believe it's my best one yet. Well, you'll be the judge of that won't you?
