WEEKLY UPDATE! (February 1, 2015)

A late update due to Internet problems

but better late than never, right? O.O

* GARRISON BEAR PRODUCTION IS FINISHED!!! XD

Watch it here: http://youtu.be/-GXUQgrIIFg

Just go to the link and comment about it on YouTube! Took me 5-6 months to do that thing and I won't be starting right away with the next(Survey Corps Bear). I need a breather because I got really big ideas for Survey Corps Bear and I need time to think of the best ideas that would be awesome but not give too much work for my gear(a laptop that crashes a lot)....O.O

Anyways!

* I also resumed the production of The Battle.

I blogged about this a year ago(Click here to see those Blogs)

and I'm still going to make use of the progress I had last time like the concept arts.

I remodeled the You character and didn't follow his looks that I did on the concept art.

I also started modeling the Monster character but I still have to make changes.

And although I started production again, I might not be able to finish it right away since I want to do it as perfect as it can be and also I'm gonna try creating an original music score for it.

So yeah. I'll work on The Battle bit by bit throughout the year. :)

* IT'S TIME TO OPEN THE BUSINESS!!!

That's right! I will be opening this business up:

You can read more about it here:

http://doodlenotesblog.blogspot.in/p/services.html

I just want to point out one thing though:

IT'S ONLY AVAILABLE IN GENERAL SANTOS CITY!

Why?

Because I still have to study how to make long distance transactions and it's just a small business so I won't expand...yet.

Just go to the link above to know more about the services available. :)

* Also, if I don't get any clients next week, I'll be pausing the production for The Battle for a while to create a new Original music video for Valentines day!

Like this one:

I'm gonna make it an official Doodle Notes tradition to create

Music videos about love every February! XD

So yeah! I will record another one of my original composition and make a music video out of it.

I'm also going to include in the tradition that the music videos would be in stop-motion animation but not always a lyric video. Hehe.

* Also! I'll try doing the animation request by TheEvilSugar on my recreation of Baymax:

I'll try to grant the request this month! XD

SO YEAH!

That is all there is!

WEEKLY UPDATE (January 18, 2015)

Lots of progress this week.

Got a bit of a hold back but still rollin'.

* I finished combining passes for a lot of shots on Garrison Bear!

There are 52 shots in total for Garrison Bear and I finished 37 shots already(all of which are final). 15 shots more then I'll move to the application of sound and music. I might be able to finish Garrison Bear next week if given more time.

* Also, I've been changing my posting techniques on our Facebook Page that gave our posts more reach...

WEEKLY UPDATE! (January 11, 2015)

First weekly update of the year!

Let's see what Doodle Notes achieved so far...

* I spent the first two weeks of 2015 enhancing the BLOG.

The features added to the Blog are:

NEW HOMEPAGE!

Created a static homepage to make the blog look more like an official website for Doodle Notes.

MENU BAR!

Added a menu bar to easily browse through different contents from Doodle Notes.

FILMS PAGE!

Film and video contents.

SERVICES PAGE!

Will be opening for business soon!

BOOKS PAGE!

Doodle Notes' literary works

ABOUT US PAGE!

And a page that'll tell you more about Doodle Notes. Some parts of it are not finished yet though.

I also updated the cover photo of the Facebook Page.

2015! Here I come!!

So yeah!

Doodle Notes is getting ready for 2015 and I plan

to make this year a fruitful one for the channel. :)

* Next week, I'll try finishing Garrison Bear!

I finished rendering in Blender last year...

...and now I'm moving on to combining all the passes and adding more VFX.

If I don't experience any Baby Titan infestation(which is very unlikely), I might be able to finish Garrison Bear.
But if I'm only given small amount of time to work on it next week, due to some household chores and Baby titan, I'll still try finishing it this month. So yeah. Just pray that I'd be given more time. O.O

ANYWAYS!

THAT'S ALL!

Sea Sphere Explained

Watch it here: http://youtu.be/DkJW2YO8c4s

PLOT

Bong, a 17 year old guy who works as a cleaner dreamt of the sea.

He was so happy to see it that he rejoiced as he saw the vast body of water.

Exhausted of his vigorous actions, he decided to rest on the shore.

But as he opened his eyes he went back to the reality that the sea was gone for a very long time.

It was 12 years ago when the see was taken using a device called, Sea Sphere.

It was taken for preservation. Saving it from the danger of pollution.

Bong promised only one thing to his late father:

To keep cleaning the world to persuade those who took it to bring it back.

As he was finishing up his work, one normal day, something rolled to him hitting his foot.

It was a Sea Sphere!

Overwhelmed by the knowledge of having the sea in the palm of his hands, he took the device away from it's keepers.

Outrunning his pursuers, he took refuge in his best friend, Claire's house.

Claire was shocked with what Bong brought to her house.

Bong lied about where he took it but before Claire could speak, her father, Leonardo appeared asking about the device.

Bong was surprised to find out, that Leonardo is the creator of Sea Sphere.

Bong and Leonardo argued about the return of the sea.

Leonardo told Bong that he did what's best for the sea and saved it from the dangers of humanity.

But Bong told him that he doesn't hold the right to impose that kind of judgement to humanity

and that only God can take away something from them and pass judgement.

Leonardo, actually wanted to return the sea for a very long time

and is waiting for someone like Bong to persuade him that humanity still cares for the sea.

In the end, Leonardo decided to return the sea,

believing like Bong that the people learned their lesson and that this time

they will show much care for nature's greatest treasure; that is the sea.

WEEKLY UPDATES - Projects here, projects there!

Been really busy...

Haven't been blogging for the last 2 weeks because of so much thinking and doing stuffs, but anyways....

UPDATES!

* Garrison Bear has been sad...

...because I haven't been making enough progress with his animation.

BUT!

Now he's happy...

...because this week, I've been making progress on the animation by Blender rendering 5 shots! XD

So yeah...Garrison Bear might come out next year or before this year ends so watch out for it.

ALSO!

* I finished writing a workable script of the new Doodle Notes Short film, Black and White.

I'll try my best to do this one perfectly and certainly 1000x better than the last Short Film. I'll be moving in to Pre-Production Stage next week and try to finish the whole production in two weeks. So pray for me.

Just wait for it to be posted on the channel before the year ends or maybe next year,

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST!

* Created a featured animé photo for the 2nd Episode of Doodle Notes' ongoing web series, Animé Addicts.

As you can see, the featured animé on the 2nd episode of the series would be Kuroko no Basket(The Basketball which Kuroko plays). Can't give you much details on it yet. Just watch out for it!

The series will be slowly but surely executed throughout next year and hopefully we can finish it next year. Also, note that, as the series progresses, it will go mor eintense every episode. SO, really, just keep an eye for it! XD

AND THE VERY LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST!!!!

*I recently joined a filmmaking workshop hosted by Direk Teng Mangansakan(Salamindanaw Film Festival)

Salamindanaw workshoppers with Direk Teng Mangansakan. Photo by: Stephen Dick Gonzales

It's actually an awesome experience. I finally learned how the filmmaking industry work in our country. And also I've met other aspiring filmmakers! Makes me feel that I'm not alone. Which is awesome. I kinda wish for the workshop tyo last longer so we could grow our filmmaking realationships even bigger. XD
