![]() ![]() Thank you very much for your continued support! These are great suggestions I would never have thought to try on my own. But I probably dived already way to deep in this topic.Ī much cheaper and more versatile option than one of the long X-keys would be a "Butter Stick", which can be bought ready to use for $55 and can be configured with this online configurator or with Controllermate Currently I use the left half of a bluetooth split keyboard on the back of my Mobile Studio and another splitkeyboard on my regular Cintiq. Since I couldn't find something except of the overpriced X-keys I made the (bad) decision to build something myself and dived way too deep in the mechanical keyboard community rabbit hole. But it's a great tool and fairly easy to use.Ī few years ago I wished for some buttons on the back of my cintiq companion to use my index finger and ring finger to flip faster between the last and the next frame. I heavily used it a few years ago, but their development nearly stopped. This is a tool which lets you rebind your keys without coding, just by plugin in some "nodes" into each other. Code: Select all hs.hotkey.bind(, "Space",įunction() hs.("f", true):post() end,įunction() hs.("f", false):post() endĪs far as I know X-keys come with a license of Controllermate for Mac. Having people to ask for advice in this aspect was one of the reasons we could deliver the animation. ![]() Even with the stressful nature of directing a short, I tried to apply what other with more experience directing told me. My major difficulty was communicating with the other team members as someone in charge, to be able to drive exactly what I envisioned and, as ALSO a flaw in my storyboard skills, is also not in the animatic. The experience of being a director was important in many aspects, one of them being that one of the future developments in a storyboard artists career is becoming director themselves and, in the guiding environment of the academia, it was the safest way for me to try this role I feel is too far from where I am standing right now. In both briefs for the BBC many groups dropped in the middle of the production for not being able to finish it but personally, the experience to bringing something to screen is far more valuable as it shows the organization and the ability to compromise to the ones that made it possible to complete the animation in such a short time. Was the kind of project that requires a steady pipeline to be able to deliver what we already had promised to the BBC. In our production meetings we discussed aspects of the work like design and story, and by the moment the animatic was ready, I jumped directly to work on the backgrounds and preparing the file for the final edition. At this point I already had experience doing several aspects of a production and since I had a deadline clear I organized every single task for the animators to be able to focus on animating. ![]() Bsides, being a brief with only one month to get the animation to screen I was sure to be able to accomplish it if I followed a fitting schedule.įor this project I also worked in a team with two animators from third year, and assumed the role of director. Practice is important not only in the technical aspects of animation but also at the moment of facing a production. When I was given the opportunity to have another brief with Childrens in Need Charity and the BBC radio, I was heads on to making it.
