Pre-comp

I have created yet another introduction to my project. This time I have added an animation test at the end and also made it brighter so that it can be easily viewed on screen. The timer will assist in planning out the animation in the timeline when it is needed.

Roald Dahl's books may be old fashioned but they remain classic as they are still being used in primary schools and still on the shelves in children's section today. Not only does he make children's books which are popular amongst children but also they are written in a way that appeal to a broad audience thus adults can enjoy the books as well. Whilst a lot of the books have already been made into a film, there are some which have not such as The Twits.

Essay progress

So far I am currently at 2000 words in my essay. The title is now How has music in Disney animated movies made an influence on the production of Steamboat Willie and Fantasia?

Here is the essay so far: Essay

I have found this journal that explores the early cartoons of Mickey Mouse.

Update

78 rpm
Although this might be a minor update but still an update none-the-less. The vinyl record I recently used appeared to be one that would only be found in the 1970s, so I have redesigned it to make it more appropriate for the 1940s era.

Handles and wood texture
Redwood was a common usage for wooden material in the 1940s, especially when it came to furniture. So I have upgraded the wooden texture to suit the time standard. In addition, I have created these handle-like knobs as it suits the time period.

Background sky and chair
In my opinion, the dark blue sky gives it more of a natural feel, that the time is actually dawn, especially with the help of the lighting. I have also shrunk the chair to make it suitable in size.

Introduction Test

In the final movie, I'm planning to render the scenes with PNG sequences then importing them into After Effects which will give them a decent quality. Since rendering scenes takes too long, I have playblasted the scenes to show how the introduction will go. There are scenes which need to be slowed down as they seem to move quickly.

Rusty Rover

Rusty Rover is a white husky. He is a engineering assistant and guide dog who's often curious about the things that go on in the museum. He loves exploring around the factory and loves playing games. The two clocks attached to his abdomen are not only used as a method of telling the time but also to play games that involve finding things within a time limit.
