Week 9

Just showed my 3rd pass animatic to Caroline and quite a few changes are to be made I think...

 

• I'm going to cut down the beginning summer scenes so that the film is mostly set in the autumn and winter, with more emotional tugs and interaction.
• STORYBOARD #5 - with ending change*
• Once I've cut down the summer and moved everything around after it, I need to work on the composition and stylization of my backgrounds - really nice stylized backgrounds are needed for the film to have the sumptuous slap in the face I want. RESEARCH + CONCEPT ART
• In relation to the fog I must not be afraid to loose the character in the scene.
• Review Character Design in relation to hair and face... CONCEPT DESIGN
• Review Lighthouse design ... CONCEPT DESIGN
• Think more about character performace... FEASABLILTY STUDY + TEST ANIMATIONS
• Think about beginning the film with a quote that would establish the audience better, that would make less need for over acting on the character behalf. RESEARCH.
• *ENDING CHANGE - The light house does not light up, she sees it and runs to the top to turn the light on herself to attract people, she seens no one and turns it off sad - then the lights appear (better ending)
• When it comes to character design - focus on Light and Shade.

 

I leave Newport today to go to Vegas for a week... and I have all this to do.

 

Good job the plane journey is like 10 hours...
