YNA November 18-21

What were your goals for this week for career pathways?

I’ve been working solely on my BPA piece, and my goals were to finish my storyboarding, write my script, record my audio and refine background animations.

What did you achieve this week in terms of your goals?

I finished my storyboards, wrote my script, and got 98% of the way done with my biggest background animation.

What problems did you have?

I wasn’t able to get my audio recorded as early as I had planned to (Wednesday) because we had our lockdown drill/presentation and our guest speaker come in. I also struggled to get my background animation to flow as smoothly as I would’ve liked from frame to frame. Lastly, I wish I got further along in the background animations than I had.

How did you fix those problems?

For the audio part, I just have to get it recorded today on Thursday instead, and probably edit it over the weekend. For the animation, I added a couple of tweens and extra frames. With time issues on getting everything animated, I’m planning on extending the time I spend working to home, and to try and not over complicate things.

What are your plans for next week?

Definitely to finish background animations, and start on the character animations. If I have time, I really want to spend a little more time on personal illustration projects that I’ve had to set aside for the past few months for the sake of time management.
