LAUAN602 - Study Task 4

 For this study task I need to explain my exit strategy. I have explained this before in a previous study task, but I will be as detailed as I can in this one.#


Pre Graduation

  • First things first I want to graduate from this course with the biggest possible portfolio I can. I have already finished my 603 major project, as well as the live briefs, and so I think I have enough to show. I directed and wrote this project myself, so I'm hoping some small studios or other freelance animators and artists will notice me. I have also made some networks with other students in my course, as well as a musician from another university.

  • I will take part in as many live briefs as I can, and collaborate with people as much as I can. 
  • I will hone my skills until I am good enough to work in the professional industry. Until then I will be taking commissions. I already have one commission that I need to work on, so I will go from there.


Post Graduation 

  •  As of right now, since Covid is still very much a thing, I will be doing most of my artistic work from home and digitally. Because of this, I will be returning home for the time being, with my family and friends.
  •  Over the summer, I will be building my social media presence, as well as connecting with as many people as I can. I will be taking character commissions from people in order to boost my presence online. I still need to improve greatly on my art, and I also need to increase my portfolio.
  • I still have no idea what I want to work as in the end but it's looking clear to me that I'll be focusing more on illustration than animation. My best works have been illustrations.

  • I will be working part time until I can finally find somewhere to work confidently. 
  • I will take part in as many live briefs as I can, and collaborate with people as much as I can.

LAUAN603 - Evaluation

 Evaluation


LAUAN603 - Final Film

Over the last couple of days, I have been finalizing my film.



The Last Riders




In the process of finishing the final outcome of the project, I have had to rearrange the timing of the scenes in order to make them fit the soundtrack, as my musician expressed concern that the timing was off. I have had to once again sound mix everything to make sure it sounds correct.


IMPORTANT INFORMATION: PLEASE READ!


THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE FINAL OUTCOME OF THIS PROJECT. OTHER'S MAY HAVE SUBMITTED AN EARLIER VERSION DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS AND WANTING TO SUBMIT EARLY. PLEASE MARK THEIR WORKS WITH THIS VERSION IN MIND. 

AGAIN, THIS IS -THE- FINAL VERSION OF 'THE LAST RIDERS: AND HELL FOLLOWED WITH HIM'.

LAUAN603 - Final Animatic

I have finally completed and edited the final animatic for my project. There are a few things that still need to be added, but I have the latest update. My team has decided to submit this version as they want to submit early. The only thing that needs to be added is the final score. 


Final Animatic





LAUAN603 - Compositing and Editing

 Now that I have finally finished production, I am able to focus on Post Production. I have been compositing all the scenes as I have been going along. I have been editing the timing of scenes, 





I have been constantly updating our animatic since around March, and have been replacing the storyboard panels with the final animations. Currently, there are 8 drafts of the animatic. I will post on of the first ones and the final one to compare the two. Some shots still need to be added to the animatic.



I have been given critiques to fix the sound mixing, and I have been working on that specifically over the past few days.
