Okay. Change of plans.
So, I'm probably going to go back to my roots a bit here. I was going to do this Senior thing fully in 3D, but I was talking with my friend Zach, and apparently so far at SCAD nobody has really done any kind of 2D - 3D heavily combined stuff. Plus.... I just.... like it better. So I think I'm gonna do it. Here, check this out actually, d00ds.
This is not 3D at all, it's just a drawing I did in photoshop. In theory, the environment would be cel-shaded 3D, with actually probably layered 2D effects to create some of the shading and floor reflections. The Ninja would probably be partially 3D, but probably traced over heavily, or even just straight up animated from scratch in 2D to make sure he retains some style and elasticity (3D tends to get waaay too stiff, way too easily). So that the end result would look like this, but I could still do cool camera pans and zooms believably.
Do you guys think this would look cool / better than attempting realism? I'm probably really bad at realism. Plus I'd be able to do fire / water / dough / special effects in 2D, which honestly, will be a lot easier to do and not have them look out of place then me trying to learn Maya effects from scratch. Feedbaaaaack is appreciated!
I'm probably freaking out over this way too much, I know. I know. Blame Finals. Our terms are too short and intense. Rargh!
