Hybrid Animation: 2 images away from being done!
This image is for Chapter Six. Adding a little bit in there about how to do limited space shots in Toon Boom using the very magical button “Maintain Size”. I’m reviewing the last little left overs and it looks like I have two images left to make – all for chapter seven. Once I get those examples of motion vector passes created it’s all over but the final copy editing.

Toon Boom Bits – Hybrid Animation
I’m so excited to have this book almost wrapped up. Just received notes from my fearless technical editor, Brent Morris, on the last little bits I have written for Chapter 3 & 5. Those hold outs are all in one software package: Toon Boom. Well – actually – one company: Toon Boom, three software packages. I used Toon Boom Animate, Animate Pro and Harmony.
I finished addressing the notes for chapter 5 to make a tutorial read better and was able to add the hot key Gregg Azzopardi taught me last week in a faculty Toon Boom workshop!!! [He taught me more than a hot key – but that hot key changed everything!] I was so excited to get time to attend a workshop – even if I had to also entertain 50 emails, 3 phone calls and one perceived issue successfully thwarted with a meeting request. I was the worst student ever, always stepping out of the room.
On to the final Toon Boom bits for chapter six – and that’s it. We’ll wrap her up and ship her in…. a little bit before her September deadline. What will I do with the summer?
Just a random thing here. If you find yourself in a bind and need to come up with a quick compliment: http://emergencycompliment.com/ Never know what that might come in handy.
I tend to procrastinate at http://thebloggess.com/ and found that link there. If you ever need a laugh – you can’t go wrong with Jenny. I’m going to have to send her a picture of our drawing room/ taxidermy room at SCAD’s Atlanta campus. It’s a real thing. I saw it last week. Stuffed animals and skeletons everywhere. She’d love it.
