Throughout last year my blog featured some snippets of work I had done on potential entries for the 11 Second club. Now if I remember rightly I have attempted to enter as many as 6 maybe more... I always take a look at the site on the first of every month and scope out the new sound clip. Now I may have once again left it too late to enter this months as I have no more than 10 days to work on it. But reviewing the past years work and knowledge gained I can see that my work speed has increased many times over. I don't make the same mistakes that cause me to circle round to re-correct one thing over and over. So I am optimistic about this months entry, having formed a strong idea for it and having no work days cropping up between now and the deadline to get in the way. Last year I only managed to enter two out of the full 12 competitions, my second score was higher than the first. My rank was higher by 3% roughly and my mark went up by 0.79 stars with the highest possible mark being 11 and winning entrants getting around the 7.5 mark. Looking back, both those videos were terrible and both were completed before I even started my animation course with Animtutor. So I am really looking forward to creating a strong entry and gauging my new skills against last years work!
This time I have decided to slow myself down a bit, as I often get carried away. I have gone back to the basics from my college days studying film making. I've done my shot list, set up the scene, set up each camera shot and even made a short animatic. This year, planning is the key!
So heres a clip from the animatic, enjoy!
