Hi all! We are now in the middle of our Production and it's all starting to come together thanks to the animatic. There is now a fifth version up on our Vimeo for anyone interested! *click me*
HOWEVER, we only have a few weeks left until the Easter holiday and cannot relax yet! (So everyone work hard now, and then we can enjoy a nice holiday at Easter)
I'd like to see ALL scenes roughed out by next Monday! Those who brought their rough movements today must also refine these by next week. Sorry if it seems like a lot, but remember, it WILL take a while to get all the finished animation processed and coloured, so we need to get these line tests sorted quickly!
When you have your rough animation line tested, PLEASE post it on Blogger so we can critique/feedback it! It's a whole week until next Monday and because of the lessons I'm not sure if we are able to fit another meeting in, but we need to be viewing some more rough animation BEFORE THEN.
I know some of you work mostly at home because some of you live quite far away from campus, but I would like to see some of you in GO1 during this week! If possible, send me a message if you intend to be in GO1 to do line testing.
We still need watercolour paper. I'll go to Pullingers tomorrow and look for some and buy a few sheets if I find what we need, then we can maybe divide the cost between us. Me and Lukas can then start colouring the clock shots we have, and then later we'll colour in the backgrounds for the line tests (I guess Lukas should be in charge of these since he has the best idea of what they should look like).
I've had a look at the animatic, and I think the ending is working better, though the dialogue still needs fixing (authentic?) I am not sure that the images of the clock over the repeating sequences work necessarily - its too confusing. Can you show him getting bored at work? A yawn towards the end of the day - something that indicates that he has been there a while. Continue the sound of him stamping at his desk over the cutaway to the clock too. Lets see what he stamps - this will help. And hold longer on the car reversing shot - it's a good image and just cuts too quickly. As the scenes speed up try and disrupt the repetition a little - think about Phil Mulloy's Christie film with the singing - when the dog came in it broke the repetition and created something more interesting.
