Changes to my project due to The Coronavirus Outbreak
Unfortunately my project has stalled for a few weeks while I figure out how to proceed with my project.
My original project was going to compose of 5 finished scenes that would've come together to compose a trailer. However with what I've got to work with at home, this simply isn't possible. At uni I'm using a full cintiq setup, however at home I'm using a Microsoft Surface Go which simply isn't strong enough to run animation software such as Toonboom or Maya. It's battery is only good for about 2 hours and overheats if the charger is left in for too long or I'm running extraneous software such as Premiere or After Effects. And I don't have a proper stand for it so have to lean over it, so I have to take regular breaks otherwise I'll end this project with a worse hunchback than Quasimodo (Hunchback of Notre Dame).
Despite this I'm determined to come out of this deadline with some sort of finished project, which is why after talking to my lecturers I'm going to switch my focus from 2D Animation to a motion comic. .
So to sum up I'm going to turn one of these scenes into a motion comic, while this is effectively a fifth of what I wanted my project to be, it's simply the limit of what I can make at home
