Me-Yo: Deleted
This was my first large-scale animation project. I had made a few edits and doodles at this point, but this project was my first experience starting with a specific idea and driving it all the way to the finish line. My client, Bailey (producer alias Me-Yo), was a joy to work with, and he truly believed in me the whole time, working with me through the hiccups of learning several new skills I needed to push this project to its end.
Planning and Goals: Bailey came into this project with a specific vision for circuitry with a green colorway of some sort. From there, we worked to develop the remaining concepts. We agreed that, given the title of the EP and title track, "Deleted", the subject should be altered or destroyed in some way. I proposed that we simply slice the subject into pieces rather than totally destroying it, seeing as this mimics the actual process of deletion on a computer (files are not immediately destroyed; the reference is just moved and then eventually the data is overwritten). We felt that placing the subject in space would accentuate the contrast between existence and emptiness.
Animating and Rendering: I ran into some challenges with the rendering process and learned a LOT about the process of rendering frames and encoding video files. I wanted the subject to be rendered on a transparent background so I'd have freedom to play with different ideas in the background, and this proved to complicate things tremendously. I eventually straightened out all the alpha channel issues I ran into, but it took a LOT of time, as each render iteration took approximately 30 hours.
Post-Production: Once I had a solid video rendered, it was time to open up TouchDesigner and add some glitchy details on top to accentuate the impression of digital destruction I wanted to convey. I got this done, rendered another copy with the music synced up, and we wrapped!
