Float is finally finished

FLOAT from Katie Patno on Vimeo.



Well, what can I say... I'm so happy to be done with it. There are things I do like about it. I really enjoyed making the backgrounds and buildings and I think the colors work really well. The most cathartic thing to do while working on this was the buildings and all their little details and window treatments. It was so relaxing that I got sad when I had to animate. I think that for the time I had, the puppet style animation saved me from many sleepless nights. With two short puppet style films out of the way, I really do miss key frame animation terribly. Whenever I decide to make another short film, I think I'll switch methods.

Ah man, I'm exhausted. I hope you wish me luck when I present this to the class tomorrow.

almost there! I need to change a few little things and get rid of the layer mask, plus finish the end credits.
