Day 10: Beginning Character Painting

Yesterday we planned out the pipeline (workflow) for painting/colouring the scenes -- we mapped it out in detail with masking tape and sticky notes on one of the studio doors so we can stay organized!

And yesterday was another production milestone (Wow! Two in a row!) -- we started character painting, meaning that once scenes have been roughly animated with line work, the painters fill in those lines and shapes with colour. There are still several steps to go until the scene is finished, but this is a big accomplishment!

It's crunch time now and the Team is heads down working to complete the film -- everyone is very dedicated and collaborating well to solve our challenges as they arise.  

HUGE thank you to Joanne Millar and her team at the Royal LePage office in Campbell River for the incredible spread you set up for us last night! You left us speechless -- the beautiful food, the adorable decorations, and your hospitality. Your thoughtfulness touched us so much!
