Tom here, to update everybody, sorry first I hope everyone is having a great summer, doing your thesis projects! Any hoo, to update whats going on with my project, for the most part I have spent the better part of the last month shooting referance video for my project. Every Sat night I'm at some rodeo in the state shooting referance. So far I have a good 25 minutes of bulls kicking the crap out of cowboys, I have gotten some ideas that I did not even think of using. What else I reworked the script for the 20th time it seems, I'm done working it until I start doing animation, I'v gotten it down to four pages which is good, I'm not touching it any more. On the character modeling front I'm behind at least 2 weeks, I went back and redesign both the bull and the character Rowdy, I'm really happy with the new look of both, the redesign was do to the referance video that I have shot over the past month. The last couple of things that I have done is stick to my deadline list which over the summer is a pain in the ass! I need money so I have to work around work which at times does not really work. I also broke down and did a production schedule month by month it helps to plan out what you want to get done this week or next, and it's really good to be able to cross stuff off that are completed. Well all hope everything is going well I'm putting up some revisions I have done to the charaters, take a look and post some thoughts, are class has to be better then the last, we certainly have the talent to do it..
Best Tom......
