Todays FRANK update are some background designs. Mostly the introduction background and the plants that live in FRANKs apartment. While I knew I wanted a room full of plants outside of roses a cactus and some sunflowers a didnt really know what else I wanted to include. Now that I have finished coloring and compositing most of the scene I felt it was time I sat down and picked what plants I was gonna draw.

Hey Ya’ll its been a while, I have been very busy chipping away at very important scenes. Here is a quick update on what i have been doing.
When I first started coloring this scene I didnt realize there was a design problem (can you spot it?), I ended up coloring the entire scene and when I was in post I saw the error and so I need to update the animation.
I went back into TVPaint and cleaned up the animation and design. Took a few days but it wasn’t to difficult. It was nice jumping back into some animation after months of coloring. I had last touched this scene 2 years ago. The most challenging thing was remembering how I had set up the file and trying to update it without messing it up
I have been coloring this scene, Im almost done but there is still a lot to do cause its a very long scene. Almost 30 seconds of animation (broken into 3 actions but its run on. Its gonna look so good when its complete. This is possibly the biggest and last challenge for the animation of the film. The next step Post is gonna bring a whole different set which Im looking forward to cause it means progress!
Todays blog post are a few screen shots of the introduction scene. I had been working to clean up the animation on this very long scene. I am happy to say about 1 week ago I finished. So I been working on coloring the 89 frame scene. It will without a doubt take about 2 or 3 months to complete due to its size and complexity. This is a full body shot which mean a lot of coloring and outlining. Never the less it will be fun and I am very close to being done with all animation and coloring.

Todays FRANK update the about a new scene I recently completed. This scene is a two parter, Sc15 has and A and a B part. Below are screen captures of both. We see FRANK happy and in mid clap then we see the game charging on the table. I am currently finalizing the back grounds for this scene.
This scene took me ten days to color, Coming from a scene that took three months to complete to ten days was such a relief. I had been feeling a little stuck or slowed in my progress, this happened with all large scenes tho. By the time you’re reading this post I would have selected my final look.

Todays FRANK update is the start of a new scene. I wrapped up the last scene a few days ago and have been setting up the new file for my next scene to color. This scene is where Frank is watering his pots and we are introduced to the game. Its a very long scene, just a bit longer then the last one, however the movement is very minimal which will allow me to make progress rather quickly. Enjoy the beginning of this scene!
Hello! Todays production update is one I been working on for a while. I finally finished coloring this scene and have begun to composite it. Its about 11 seconds long with holds. The scene was 41 frames not accounting for holds and took me over 2 months to complete. I have been really consistent these past few months and im super happy i can finally move on to a new scene. I learnt a lot from this scene due to it having many moving parts
Its been few weeks since the last update, so here is a quick peek into the process so since we last spoke.
I been working on long scene for a few weeks now, this scene when FRANK smells his flowers at the window is about 42 frames. Each frame has about 3-4 layers and so its taking some time. I have found the rhythm after the first few frame so the moral is high with this scene, especially since I just passed the half way mark. The last scene was just as long but i overcame that one and going into this scene i knew it would be very similar. However I was aware that it would be rough at first but i would find my rhythm and before i knew it i would be finishing up the scene and exploring the file. I am happy to say im still in high spirits and might have even caught a second wind, stay tooned for more updates
Todays blog update are some frames from the current scene I am coloring. I am almost ready to export and composite the animation, the back ground however is a different story, there is still some things left to tighten up before Im confident with marking it done.
This scene our big guy FRANK is coming from off screen and he is walking towards the window, this scene was a lot of fun to draw, it was a little challenging due to the perspective walk, but since its a 3/4 back shot its wasn’t to difficult once I shot some reference.
Todays FRANK update is a few color frames. The first frame is what im currently coloring, its about 17 frames long. The next two frames are older color test, with pen lines and with outlines. I want a lineless look and i have done a few color test inorder to see the movement in color.
I continure to color daily, I have roughly 33 scenes and im about 4 or 5 scene into color
Happy new year to all. Todays production post is a still from my color script. Before the end of 2021 I was working on putting together a color script for the film. It took a few weeks but I finally finished it and have started coloring scenes. The image below is not a final color, some of it is subject to change but the final look will pretty much look like so.
