Right now I'm a bit anxious. Why, you ask? Well in about two hours i'm getting the results from last schoolyear.
For my final jury I made an animation called 'hard boiled egg' which I submited earlier to newgrounds.
My first project was a 16min action/adventure animation called 'Root' which I had already storyboarded and the animatic was already done as well.
Tomamoto and other non-ng related voice actors recorded all the lines for the animation. Some friends also joined to make backgrounds and help with colouring. But when the time came to start animating they told me the project was just too big and that I should make something smaller.
I got kinda derailed at that point. I was really excited about the project and going all the way to get it done. The unexpected deviation made my mind go blank for a couple of days. The only thing I could think about at that point was the effort I had put into the animation and the people I got involved in the project that I had let down. Or at least it felt that way.
After a week or so I started playing around with some idea's, making small storyboard sketches and puzzling around with them. But there wasn't anything that got me satisfied enough to go all the way.
Then one day I was on the train and the idea for 'hard boiled egg' came in one swoop.
I made the storyboard and animatic relatively quickly about 2-3 days
And with the rest of the time I got till the deadline I just used to experiment and mess around.
And that's the story of how this animation came to existence.
Now i'm off to school, seeya guys.
