LIGHTYEARS
- Lightyears is a live action graduate film student's thesis, directed and written by Kit McDonald (Fall 2019 - Winter 2020)
-Lightyears combines live action elements with 2D animation
- I am the supervising animator for the project, so my work involves communicating with all of the different teams on the project, from the producers and director to the concept team, to the vfx team, and of course the animation team
- I keep tabs on everyone because I make sure the animators have what they need to do their job properly and meet deadlines.
this is the shot list I made for the animated sequence of the film, and I updated it frequently, whenever a new edit was uploaded I had to update the time codes, and make adjustments to it as the project develops
All of these assets were created by the concept team in Adobe Photoshop
All of the animations I made here are by using puppeting techniques in Adobe After Effects
-I created these folders for the finished animations, and I then I make sure that all of the BGs, with animation or not are properly formatted and submitted.
- our vfx lead, Joshua Gluck, will be taking our 2D BG anim and compositing it with the live action footage over 3D assets.
