rough draft trailer

The H264 version of the final version.

1st half of final rough draft

There was a change in plans, and the final project will be done all in Blender.

For this piece though, the main change is in both a certain aspect of the sound (in terms of the voices (they were edited to sound more distorted)), and the other change, so far, to the added amount of frames that it takes for most of the expanding parts of the sphere to get back to the sphere after they've shot out.

But, in terms of the final-final- there's going to be more extending of parts after the 1st 20 second mark, and probably some texture/material add-ons. Along with staying to the idea of once the sphere moves out of the box - then it is free to extend in whatever directions, while being in the box, previously, kept it from being massively able to expand.

Expanding and Contracting

1. A 'cause and effect' situation would be one thing that would tie these two words together. That is considering if one is using the definition of contracting in terms of talking about an illness/disease. The contracting effect would be from the expanding of the illness/disease.

2. Another way that these two words relate is simply that they're opposite of each other. Expanding is growing larger, or spreading out, or increasing in a number of ways. Contracting is saying that something is getting smaller, shrinking, or reducing.

3 One other way is that a person usually thinks that one will happen after the other. Like in how something breathes. There's an expansion to draw in a breath, and then contraction as the lungs, or whichever, lets air back out.

Re-post of 1st half of animated storyboard.

Reposting another version of the video since I just reworked something on it, and it looks less 'glitchy' than the other one I'd posted before it.



Notes: I used 'Doll's Polyphony' from the Akira OST (the weird voices in the background) as more of a timing device for when things should look like they're trying to get out of the sphere.

Also: The poor, and somewhat glitchy look of the video is due to Blender and Flash both deciding to not work on certain parts, and instead either crashing or just not working right
