• What were your goals for this week for career pathways?

To start wrapping up on my BPA piece.

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

I was able to knock out 90% of my character animations, and by cleaning up small things about backgrounds.

• What problems did you have?

I struggled a bit when it came to understanding the use of the camera layer, and to find a solid but simple character design (specifically with faces).

• How did you fix those problems?

I wasn’t able to really utilize the camera layer, but for the scene I wanted to use something like that, I was able to transform a group of layers and just enlarge it frame by frame to zoom in. I also used a max of two or three colors to block out simple faces that translate without taking ages.

• What are your plans for next week?

Most of my work is going to happen during the weekend on my BPA piece, I’m just finalizing the video and extending it to fit around my audio. By Monday I want to be 99% done, and to have most all my focus on cleaning up things and rendering to export the final video file.

• What project(s) did you work on this week?

I focused entirely on my BPA project.

• Post visual proof of the projects you were working on this week on your WordPress account (Embed video, audio, images).

YNA Jan. 6th-10th BPA

(Some of the layers at the end are a bit messy/wrongly timed because I haven’t gone back to the end to clean frames up).
