Sound Effects Sheet

This sheet shows and explains what I have done to the sound so it is easily understood and can be repeated in case anything goes wrong.

Photos

I have take some photos of the characters when shooting. the lighting isn't great because I didn't want to mess up the set up for filming so will do it again after Christmas for the one sheet ect.

Production Bible Pages

These are the first tries for my production bible pages. Once we have figured out the layout of the whole book i will re-arrange the images and text but for now this is what I want my pages to contain. Also we need to know what font style and size we want and a colour scheme etc to follow throughout which I can apply later.

Some behind the scenes photos

Production bible schedule

What has been happening?

At the start of the week we were all trying to get the hang of the dope sheets and dragonframe (the software we are animating on). This took a few days, a few trials and eras and a lot of chocolate and mini heart attacks. BUT. We have got it. We are now in the swing of things. 

Claire is animating nearly everyday as she animates the bass and backing singers. Sam only animates the guitar, so, when he is not animating he is sorting out dope sheets for the next scenes or working on production bible. I only animate the lead singer so when I am not animating I am making more mouth shapes, characters and fixing anything that is broken whilst been animated. I also work on the production bible.

We would love to share our final scenes that we have done but we are going to keep them hush until the final edit of our piece. 

We will keep posted on what is happening and put some pictures up of us lovely people animating and working hard. 

New Schedule

As we are all new to so many things in our production there have been set backs. With the initial schedule we had to estimate how long certain things would take, such as making mouths, as we have never done it before. Due to the lack of knowledge and understanding of puppet making we are behind our original schedule.

BUT.

Thankfully. As we are using dope sheets which our genius Sam Mealey has been putting together (no idea how he is doing it!) the actual animating is rather fast as we now just have follow our dope sheets.

So. This is our new schedule for shooting. 

Hopefully no set backs this time.

My Final Replacement Tests

This is a few replacement tests testing the new swaying music which is more like a bop and sway now.

This is a quick one not taking any timing into account, just to make sure the shapes and replacements worked together. As you can see no detail was added to the models so I could just focus on the body shape.

Added hair to see if it also works along side the body shape. As said before, I toke no account of timing, just testing the replacement. 

Began to look at timing. Slowly up and quick down. Quick up and slow down.

Added music to work with the timing of the bops. 

In this clip I decided to concentrate on doing a quick bop up and slow down to the middle again.
