The opening scene for my capstone film, also know as how I milked 6 frames of simple character animation and layered After Effects assets to about ten seconds #throwbackthursday #animation #flyingpandas #flightofthepanda #2danimation #characterdesign #flight

Flat colors applied. But not before redrawing every frame because I was not happy with how weak the initial poses were. The in betweens and colors tedious? Yes. Trying to maintain her volumes consistent infuriating? Yes. Status so far worth it and fun? Hell yes. Shadows up next. #flightofthepanda #wip #animation #panda #2danimation

Revisiting old animation. Cleaning up lines and trying to maintain form and volume. Will definitely need another pass, but this time in Photoshop as I like the movement here #animation #flightofthepanda #panda #flying #laser

Goodbye thank you not to our awesome Airbnb host. See you again Toronto. Hopefully sooner than later... #art #flightofthepanda #dailygrind (at TAAFI - Toronto Animation Arts Festival International)

Character turnaround for Flight of the Panda. Yeah, still working on this! #characterdesign #panda #flightofthepanda #animation

Last footage I'll share for the film-that-will-eventually-be-finished-by-me-hopefully Flight of the Panda. A fun sequence animated in Photoshop and After Effects. 3D layers and cameras are your best friend! #Flight #flightofthepanda #Panda #2Danimation #animation #blastoff #overwater #clouds #sky

This is as far as I got in terms of the film's progression. It was a great learning experience, and the two lessons I will always remember is STORYBOARD your work, and always KNOW THE SCOPE of your animation. I bit off more than I can chew in a very short amount of time and limited resources ( in addition to two other classes and a day job ). I will pick up this film again someday. But for now, I will aim for FINISHED work, and not always go for epic unless the time allows it. #animation #workinprogress #wip #2Danimation #animatic #storyboard #drones #panda #lasers #flightofthepanda

Bring on the drones! Modeled in Blender, then took screenshots from multiple angles. Frame by frame animated through After Effects #blender3d #AfterEffects #animation #Flight #robots #flightofthepanda
