Glowy mushrooms and Dark Squares

Sept. 8th, 2025

Two weeks before Blender Conference, the animators are working hard to deliver final shots. 'One', the giant jellyfish gets high res with a new design for the close-up tendrils, critter is swimming as fast as he can and the background creatures get animation cycles.

I'm currently working on contributing to the compositor assets project, so I couldn't work on the film full-time (other than giving the animators more work to do :). Next week is Blender Conference so unfortunately a lot of work will have to wait until it's over. We do have a new version of the edit with a lot of new animation in it though!

Not too much happened on my end since there was some BCON stuff to prepare this week, but I got to explore the close up version of One's tendrils.

This week I animated more shots from scene 020, pushing some of them to polish and other ones being blocked out.

This week I was still doing some touches on sequence 030, animating One and also some of the other creatures. On sequence 050 I continued animating some of the shots, going back and forward between them, animating and addressing notes at the same time
