We have now had the Rough Cut presentation at 2 weeks to go till deadline!
Some issues were brought up that were a tad disheartening, regarding the loneliness of the character. However, after re-thinking and talking to a lot of people (peers, tutors, friends etc) I have made several changes to the Edit. I knew that I needed help with my edit, especially with my timing of shots, but those problems have been ironed out now making a lot of difference.
It had also been suggested to me by one tutor that I needed to get rid of the close up shots... this was something that was a key aspect of my film in my very first treatment - far away, high shots. I felt that these were a key artistic choice to make her seem small, insignificant and alone. The close ups had been a previous request that I had added, and I find it funny that once again, my original idea was the best one.
Now with a week left I am adding in 5 new scenes, 2 of which are stills, and 4 of which require new backgrounds. Lucky I work fast!! So far I have completed 1 of the additional animated scenes, 1 still and 3 of the backgrounds. I think I'll get it done.
Another thing I have been working on since I last blogged was the dreaded 'Panoramic' Lighthouse stairs scene.
I am really happy with this background but it was a difficult one to do!!
Here is a still from the Lighthouse beam rotating, I must say I am very taken with the sequence, as is everyone I show!
And here is my shot list now :)
So, with only 3 more scenes to animated, I am feeling really good about getting this film completed to a high standard for the deadline! :)
