Two color scripts for Sick Day. Opening scenes.
1/16/12 Nathan looking out the window at the day to come.
Thinking.
1/15/12-Over the past few short films, I’ve realized that frequently posting my rough animation—good or ill—-on my blog keeps the momentum going, so I’m at it again in 2012.
This is animation from scene_003, where Nathan, the main character, walks over to a window. In the final version he steps into frame; he doesn’t decrease in size (I’m just re-familiarizing myself with the pegs in Toon Boom).

I’m a few designs into “Nathan,” the character of my next short, titled “Sick Day” which is about a construction worker who, yes, you guessed it, fakes sickness. Mayhem ensues.
