small but funny secret, we were all so bad at including the tails in our boards (this is the only time I remembered lol)

I was sure it came up in one of our team meetings! I'll be honest, I thought it's why I got to board for ya haha

Some behind the scenes thumbnail sketches, I was having fun with this one hahaha

(yes I'm a big fan of blatantly framing the focal point via foreground elements, almost all of my favorite shots have some level of this)

I remember this! Was my primary point of reference for most of production when I was trying to think up what kinda doohickeys and debris would be floating around up there

I need a proofreader like yesterday

can't*

jfc

Clarity is more important than believability* damn

I mean it's both, it's really both, but I tend to favor clarity cuz they can believe what they don't understand y'know

FUCK yeah! Glad to hear it!

Also damn looking back I was SO picky and technical about my volumes and 3D rotations, no wonder this shot took forever. Experience paid off, I'm definitely faster (and a tad bit sloppier) nowadays while achieving similar effect-- but this is all on 1s! What a slog that was.

Learning these things is important to understand why people rely on convention and when you want to have a specific effect that convention is important to understand so you know where it is and isn't needed. But it's always just effect. Squash and stretch isn't required it simply feels a certain way
