The Day before Submission

Ok it's the day before submission. Luckily I was going through the film creating screenshots for the shot list and I noticed some last minute mistakes.

1. The banana shot had the old background in it.
2. The Prof's Goodbye shot had the old RAM in it before I whited out the eyes and the chair was moving too much anyway.
3. I thought the the Prof was animating weird in the Competent shot, so I had a look again at the flash file and compared it to my drawings. I found out that Harrison had missed 6 frames and duplicated others to fill in the gap.

I fixed all these things yesterday and today so hopefully we will be able to render and the movie will be finished for submission.

Updated Animatic

I've updated the animatic with my pencil tests and Sam's Logo. I've also tried to add more shots of the audience like Mike and Dan suggested. Timing may need to be worked out.

Commenting on the Progress Presentation

It was a bit strange today, Mike basically said

a) we should intersperse it with adverts, but it's really short.
b) involve the audience more, will be hard
c) have more dynamic camera angles, but it's a TV show.

Sam tells me that we have to get a website and definitely a title by the end of the weekend.

Update

Just an update of the things that need to be done.

1. James the sound guy needs to send us back the animatic with sound
2. James and Al, I need to see your animations
3. Al, you, Simon and I have to work on a new production schedule for next term
4. Elisha and Harry, I need to see all your work for the backgrounds.
5. Simon needs to help me colour in some frames

That way we can all get ready for the presentation. Meanwhile, I'm just going to start some other animations. OK everybody?

Just a update

Firstly, I would just like to say that I think the project is going well, especially considering all of the dissertation work. Everyone is posting good things on their blogs. Just a couple of things.

Firstly I would like to see everyone's work the last week of term so we can prepare for the presentation to Mike.

Secondly, over easter we need all backgrounds completed and all rough animation must be done.

If not we won't get the project completed.

Okay guys.

Let's get our dissertations over with.
