Town Design

I know the plan is a bit dodgy I should have really moved my light box! However here is the completed town technical drawing which I shall be passing over to Jamie to build in Maya.

Production Chart

Just a quick post for posterities sake.  Here is our Production Chart.  Excitement ensues.

Our Most Up-To-Date Animatic YET

So we've finished the boards and have them proudly displayed above the Director's desk:

They loom over us as a giant reminder of all the work we still have to do.  In finishing the boards I've since been able to finalise the animatic too, making the last 30 seconds a lot more clearer than we had on the post-it boards.  Now it actually makes sense.  The timing's had to change a wee bit too, it was flying through the final reveal just a bit too quick for my liking.  Here is what we gots now:

Please let us know what you think.  The intro may be getting looked at... in fact, it will be getting looked at 'cause we've redesigned the town a bit, so please bear that in mind, the fly through will be better, or at the very least different.  We're still sitting at just one second under two minutes, so it's a very manageable piece.  Suba's working on our first layout as I type so doping and animating will be beginning forthwith! Hurrah!  

Again, please let us know what you think!  Any feedback is good feedback.

Final Storyboards

Been working on them since last Monday, and I think (after ten or so months of rewrites) we've finally settled on the story!  Now it's onto making a Production Chart, and then Layouts next week with Suba.  The only thing missing from these boards are the SFX notes and working out the timing - which I did actually sit and work out, but managed to work out wrong the first time round.  They will get added in later, when I get that all reorganised and fixed.

Anyway, enjoy!  Hope they make sense.

Layouts

This week I am trying to sort out layouts especially with the see saw and opening shot. So here are a few things I have been working on, just experiment with the angles and the way the shot should look.
