Turkey Time means Crunch Crunch Crunch Time..

Here we are, a week out from Thanksgiving and close to the end of the semester, but despite the promise of impending breaks and the current immersion within excessive amounts of work, everyone working on Fire Flower still ENTIRELY has their head in the game.  Moving forward in every aspect of production; building sets, tweaking puppets, painting props, adjusting 3D rigs, and animating frame after frame of 2D animation, Fire Flower has never seemed so gorgeous and put together.  Each and every day we gain so much ground through exploration and discovery about our film.  Fire Flower, my friends, is coming to life.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lights!! Camera!! Nun....??

On top of having finished shooting one scene entirely, we were also blessed with the opportunity to go share our progress at the Asifa Midwest Animation Retreat as part of the Mosaic Film Festival at the Wealthy Theater in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  Being able to share this project, our work, and passion with others was such an awesome experience.

 So here's to another update, progress, and the exciting promise of all the work that is yet to come :)

 This is the  completed set for the scene we finished shooting:

 And the many lights that went into making it look like actual pure daylight was the only light source :)

 And of course, say hello to our finished nun :D

 

For kicks and giggles, watch this extra scene that was made for a laughing bonus :)
