What I did:
Today, I finished Kenan's chapter by making Mrs. Ritovski and also putting the milk cartons on Kenan. I know it sounds stupid but in the book, Kenan must go and get water for his family and he ties 6 milk cartons to himself so he can carry them. I also used a lot of keyframes for kenan to signify his knocking. I made a jumping up and down gesture to show his movement like how someone would do to a cartoon to show them doing something. This caused me to make a lot of keyframes. I also started and finished Dragan's first chapter as well. There wasn't much to it other than two people running across the street but other than that, there wasn't much to it.
What I learned:
Today, I learned how to make something shake and no, it doesn't use what I mentioned yesterday. The shake from yesterday did not work out in that no matter what you choose as a layer, the shake will affect the whole thing rather than just the object you have selected in a layer. So, I went full on manual and used keyframes to do it. Every few milliseconds, I put down a keyframe and moved the character up or down depending on how I wanted it to look. That's what I learned today and I'm not sure if I'll do this for every shake or if I'll only do it this one time. It does take time and I'm kind of running out of that.
What I plan to learn tomorrow:
Tomorrow, I plan to start chapter 2 of the book. There are 4 chapters but the chapters do get longer from here on out. I plan to do a chapter a day for each of the characters and hopefully I can finish chapters 2/3 by the end of next week and chapter is pretty short so it should be quite straight forward. Tomorrow, I will be learning how to do more things in Sony Vegas for this project. Hopefully, I learn a lot more than expected but that's my goal for tomorrow. I do not have a definite thing that I want to focus on but hopefully I figure it out.
Time; 1 1/2 hours
