Less Than Two Weeks Left

 This one's going to be short and sweet since we're less than 14 days out. We've been going hard on animating the last couple weeks. I blocked this sequence.

 The shot where it's looking down on him in the time machine had a few camera options, this one below being the other option.

 Personally I like it a little less, and I'm glad we went with the other shot.

 The other couple things worked on in the past few weeks have been the holoscreen from the interior of the time machine. We came up with an idea of how to animate the typing for our intro sequence (by using OBS) and are working on Xander's idea list for what to get Emily for a present (WIP, below left). Additionally, I started work on the turnstiles from our subway shots, but due to some miscommunication with someone who wasn't here on Friday, but was evidently working on them, I am no longer focused on those, but will post them here anyway (below right).

 So, yeah. That's that. I think by the time I write another one of these we'll be done, and I'll be stressing about how I don't have a job lined up yet, or something like that. 
 Maybe that one will be on time?

An Update (But On Time)

 Oh look I'm posting on time!

 Having redone the animatic before last post, we were all hands on deck to get it up to speed. I had nine shots over two scenes. The first seven shots are within the new animatic section, so they had to be set up, and I had to create some new geometry (which I will be adding images to to add to the story).

 Here's a blocking pass.


 And then the animatic was changed for the last time (I hope). Scenes were shifted, scenes were cut. The film is a whole 25 or so seconds shorter. And some of my shots were nerfed and then re-calculated. I blocked in these shots again, and they are seen as follows 


 I was assigned new shots to get into blocking state while Kody picks up these shots to spline and clean up. This assignment was given by Tom, and while I'm not really happy about it (I need demo reel material), it is what it is and I'll get this film done if it kills me.

 Working on the items that go in the screens of the  still. We also have a few
