Taffetas Poster Work



Well, today was the last day to vote for the online reader's poll of the Animation Magazine contest! Jess and I won't know how we did with the competition until mid-July so we'll just have to wait and see. I'm so thankful for each and every person who helped out and voted and spread the word. As I have said, this contest is not Yesenia's and my only opportunity, but it is a fairly good one and we are excited to be participating.

In the meantime, here's some behind-the-scenes stuff of the poster we did.




After many concepts, thumbnails, and a few rough sketches, we narrowed our choices down to one poster.... which then later split into two posters because we freaked out near the end and our first poster wasn't good enough auuugh, so we tried to see if we could fix it (shown above), quickly grew frustrated with lack of sleep and a disappearing sense of self-worth, and went with a slightly altered version of our original poster.

Veil Animation Test



You need Flash Player to view this test!

Check it out on DEVIANTART | TAFFETAS BLOG




Ultimately, I found some problems with the puppet and "rig" for Veil, but that's what these tests are all about : ) ! I was so anxious ALL week to get to this animation, though, but I had a lot of priorities and little stresses here and there that made it difficult for me to get to actually get to this one thing that I wanted to do (this animation!).

But ah, that's just how it goes sometimes. I really hope everyone likes this one, I see a few minor edits I can do here and there which I might implement later today or tomorrow, but ultimately this test is complete!
