Incompetent Elytra Pilot - Progress Report
After the success of the last two short animation projects, I decided to tackle a much greater project. 120 seconds and around 1900+ frames and 28 shots compared to the previous 20 second single shot sequences. This also means its taking much longer. Currently I have had pen to paper 40 hours over 2 weeks. There is also a lot more planning gone into it, Timing, layout, audio recording and mixing, plus I spent a lot of time in minecraft just watching how Shulker boxes animate, which is actually going to be the hardest part. A few other challenges to overcome as well, One 6 frame sequence required a zoom in and up, which meant the entire background had to be redrawn on every frame.
Currently I have drawn over 600 individual images. Also every frame is at least 3 layers. Lines, Colour, Colour detail (shadow and Highlight ) .
When complete I'm expecting the project to take around 80 to 100 hours of active work or around 4 weeks, but realistically I will have spent around 200 - 300 hours If I include all the thinking and planning. Incompetent Elytra Pilot will be released here on the House Party first. Stay Tuned.
