11 sec final eh er seconds?

Nuts I couldn't make the deadline, I needed so much more. I tried throwing what I had into premiere but I still came out short and while I was editing the time ran out and I miss the dead line. I wasn't able to go to the lab and use the pencil test machine but I suspect there would be a bunch of others there trying to get it in. So I did the alternative since here at my lab there are digital cameras and a tripod. But after I shot all the frames, it seems I had to re size them in photoshop but lucky for me I discover that I can open the frames as a sequence and re-size the entire thing and exported as a quicktime. But when I put it in to premiere with the dialogue it seems the beginning was slightly off and the timing of somethings where off, but the ending was totally off and left huge gaps. I'll bring what i have on monday since for some reason the file is over 44mb and it won't fit on the UH server.

OH and I almost forgot to post the drawing:



OK I kept trying to see if I could bring the size down but in order to bring the file size down I had to sacrifice quality of the video.

11sec rough 1st past

OK this is a very rough 1st past at this and for some reason after effects would not let me edit it and listen to the audio at the same time so I had to do it in premiere and that was a bit trouble since it has been a long time since I used premiere. Anyways some of the drawings didn't come out so clear because the lines aren't as dark and also some I only drew the body and not the head. I hope it looks OK.

11 sec

OK here what I got so far for the 11 sec thing, I also figured out why my files was coming out so big, it wasn't the compression but the export. Turns out the default setting was on 'millions of colors' and that makes the file big 'cuz it preserves space for color that's not there so I switch to the gray scale 256 but that only bought it down to 19mb so I had to export another time and set it at 16 and that really brought it down to little over 7 mb. I wonder if I should make it 8bit gray scale. Anyways the funny thing while I was working on this I was trying to figure out how to draw the hat at the angle being shown and it took me a few minutes before I realize I was wear a hat at the time and could have used that to reference it. Big Duh!!



Here's the posting for the drawings.

Torture

OK I just went through all 143 entries and that was not fun after a while. I couldn't save any of them since you have to have quicktime pro in order to save them. Out of all the entries the was only 2 the I kinda like and I only remember only one of them. It was the one with the woman pushing the fork deeper into the neck of the dead husband.

I also uploaded my story for the 11 sec and the scans for the cutout characters.





The scene goes with two college kids in there apartment and they are trying to get rid of this roach. The one sprays it and the roach flips over dead or so they think when the roach flips back and starts walking away, then the other smacks it with a rolled up newspaper but when he lifts the paper up the roach just shakes it off and keeps on walking.
