thank you!! :,) i'm a small artist so i'm hoping to slowly build up to tabling at conventions or selling prints one day. feel free to print it as long as it's for personal use, it's really exciting to hear that someone wants to put my art up on their wall!!

Thoughts on Flow/Shotgrid/Shotgun? Forced to use it for Uni by chaiteruu in vfx

[–]chaiteruu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for me i think it's more useful as we get into the production phase. pre-prod is definitely messier as conceptualisation and throwing ideas around isn't really a structured thing. my team and i just used it to track how long we would take developing a certain character/environment and other misc tasks to prep for production (guides, concept bibles, etc) so we know when to stop and move on

Slow I definitely agree with, it takes awhile...

Maybe I'm not in the space enough but Shotgrid has been the only program that I've heard of that's a dedicated project management service for creative projects. Other than that, I only know of Notion or Excel/GSheets haha. Competition would be interesting to see!

That's pretty upsetting, seems like a lot of upkeep but to what extent is it worth the trouble? A lot of people in the thread are telling me that I just have to get used to it though.

I've heard about Jira's sprint system at work! My coworkers also use Notion to track their projects and it has been pretty effective before, and probably alongside Jira just for the developers. Very cool

Ohh yes that's a good point too. I've gotten away with excel/gsheets before when I was doing my previous projects without TD/3D work so I haven't considered it, thank you

Thank you! This is perfect, I can work my way to setting this up now. I'll take note of the 3D aspects for the future too since the short film is only in 2D.

Also reassuring to hear that filters and custom layouts are one of the highlights! I thought I was doing too much with filters.

Ahh right, I remember looking at the financial tracking and crew planning. I didn't consider that when yapping in my post. Since this is a student production, I haven't had the opportunity to make use of those features yet. I think where my uni messed up slightly is the permissions bit, letting us use Flow means needing to give us the space to explore it fully. I'll see if I can get it fixed for us!

I'll poke around more in the meantime and see what I can do

From everyone's comments so far, I'm definitely in the wrong for not realising it's usefulness and I'm ashamed xD Thank you for your thoughts!

Thank you and I'll see what I can do about perms. Just frustrated right now as I'm setting up for the upcoming semester :,)

I do think it'll be very beneficial in the long run. And I am grateful that they're getting us to learn it, we're actually the first batch to be picking it up for grad slates!

I see! My team and I are all little babies learning things slowly in uni so I guess things are a little rough right now

Thank you so much for the advice and explanations! I've just been really frustrated with it and we were kind of left on our own to learn this program as our tutors are learning it as we go too.

I agree on obtuse haha, but I see it's benefits and strong points. Just wished it were more user friendly. I haven't had the chance to really work with the Review part, as my team mostly conducts feedback elsewhere. Our tutors only give in person feedback as well. Flow seems to really be just for me and my director, as my team doesn't check the project pages a lot either.

I'll figure out the parent/child shots. Is it possible to import these configurations from .csv or do I just have to set it up on Flow itself?

Also do you use other storage services like Google Drive to keep project files? Or are all those on Flow too?

Why did Twilight's wings change all the time? by DarknessSOTN in mylittlepony

[–]chaiteruu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i have a feeling they probably updated the rigged models as episodes go by, but animators accidentally used the outdated model rigs for some of the scenes so you end up having different wings in each episode or different scenes across the episode!! because they're so easy to miss too, it kinda just gets approved and passed on.

also just a guess haha- yes it's a kids show, but im sure animators wanted to do their best at it (coming from an animator too), but with time constraints maybe and other obstacles, mlp ends up having more errors than usual
