I’m exhausted. It’s been a long day. After dealing with a day containing like one of the highest records for mold in October in history, Adrian came over and we spent about 7 hours preparing draft boards for Phil and Jeremy to use for reference tomorrow (and apparently ’till the end of time).

I can’t draw. That’s obvious – and became even more so tonight. But Adrian did a pretty good job in drafting out simple shapes and perspectives for the first like 40 boards (12 seconds) of the trailer. Regardless of our fighting about perspective, closes versus mediums and simple matters like decor for the K’veer dining chamber when officiate guests are present, we actually felt like we got a lot done. Now, we just have to see if the gents can take our basics and put together actual quality boards.

I don’t think we’ll be doing this again as about the time we finished we realized that this may be a bit of overkill. I get the feeling that we’ll most likely just start using my old point and shoot camera to establish simple references for perspective and frame composition and let the guys do their magic. That way we’ll be able to spend our nights in post of the animatic instead of prepping drafts for the next day of boards.

Tired.
