Last week we were struggling with a lot of spin dilemmas. This sequence that is so crucial to the emotions and the narrative of the story didn’t seem to be working and it was worrying for us. So our team tried any and all options that we could think of: we spun them counter-clockwise, horizontally panned them, created an elaborate long-take. In the end, however, our whole class has agreed that nothing works quite as well as the original spin. And after some logistic thinking, we were able to give this vital scene a bit more time, and that is very promising. Next week we are going to deliver the first real pass on our animation and I am very excited to see what everyone will do. Our team has been KILLING it in every stage, and I’m very proud of the work and effort they’ve been putting in. After some weeks of uncertainty, I feel confident and optimistic again. I am thrilled to animate grandma Ping’s life and journey and put greater emphasis on her emotions. Next week is going to be very exciting, and I can’t wait to see what we do.
