Fin

finished product


I was not able to post the video onto my blog but here is that start of the final video.
for my first animation i have ever done i am very happy with it i hope by third year ill look back and see how much i have progressed with animation. 

change due to feed back

i had someone watch my animation and they gave me the feedback saying the title goes to fast so i had to extend it a little it still looks good and i think that it was a good idea to do so.now it lasts for 3 seconds instead of 1

Update on Scene H

Scene H was the scene that was not lip synced properly for some reason it decided not to have the same timing as the animatic which had worked through out all the other scenes but it was an easy fix with me just having to move the lip sync back a bit and it worked perfectly.

I let someone else watch it and they found out that i say the wrong tank in the animation i will either have to change it or i will just leave it and hope no one else notices. (i havent been able to fix it but it not very noticeable)
i really wanted to have a good font to end it and the fin fin is a pun.

i had a few mistakes with my rendors so i had a few video that weren't so great

The last scene was a lot longer that i had thought and for some reason one of the scenes was not the right length. so i had to stretch the diving into the tank scene by 120 which was perfect.
everything else has worked out fine but on the final render the lip sync on scene H went to shit.
i will have to sort that out before i finish properly.

a mistake

i made a mistake since i didnt save something in its proper place i didnt copy it across to my hard drive so i cant use it its not a big mistake but i will have to remember that for next time.


as you can see i this scene is missing its background and that is all it needed.
i have 3 scenes left not including the 2 i have completed without backgrounds. i will have to wait till my computer is free to get the png.
it slowed down today but i can still finish everything else then get it later.

more updates on 2D


once i start to understand harmony better i started to get scenes done faster and better



The first few scenes above took a large amount of time to make and didn't look amazing


once i did more and more i started to become faster and finished more and more scenes.
so instead of only getting 3 done a week i pumped out 6.


the longer scenes i did first and the more mechanical ones i did first aswell.


Since the start i had completed maybe 8 scenes in the last 2 weeks i have finished 14 and have 5 left which i am finishing atm.

2D updates

The animatic worked nicely and went into after effects fine

and rendered out fine aswell with a few small errors mostly my own errors

The master final folder has been saved in 4 different locations and seems to render stuff out well.


Bringing the scenes into harmony from story board was a lifesaver as they made it easy to work out timing and scales


All the scenes below with a 1 next to them are completed (many more have been completed to this date)


all scenes seem to have imported well and work.


My first version of my final animation looks like what i wanted.

animatic version 2 no talking yet


I have finished the sounds and i like it the voices are still to be added they will make it so much better. 

It might need to be fleshed out more as well like making another scene were he forgets something and then at the end try Tracy's idea of  making him look across the store and say Guys i want out im lonely almost like the start just to show hes thinking of jumping back.

first animatic attempt


no words but first animatic attempt
first attempt at harmony with guppy


Guppy is not going to be hard for rigging seeing as he is a fish but thats just in my opinion he might be really hard but i will see

                                        this is the newest idea for Guppy and i like it the most
using what they use in chowder i wanna make the background watercolor and make the people much more clean
i am did choose this style in the end and in my opinion it looked very nice i left the stuff in the background seethrough just like howder i think it will bring the main character foward really nicely.

like this
