Interim 2

hmm i haven't blogged in quite a while!! been occupied with my group's animation 2 video which is due today. but i didn't completely neglect P3 of course. i got some feedback from alan regarding my storyboard and he gave a couple of suggestions and comments. one of which is about the rope...he felt like it was a little too predictable when the main character hangs a noose on the tree. so i decided to use his suggestion of having the girl hang on fairy lights instead. and when she's swinging in the wires, she can accidently hit the switch for the fairy lights and it'll light or something. ;]


yea so i revised my storyboards and also did some voice recordings as well! andrea lek helped voice for the girl and one of the passersby, jarrold helped voice the other passerby and andrea and i did the children's voices. thanks alot guys! ;] i had several versions for the girl's voice and i ended up going for the texasan-ish kind of accent cos i thought it was the most expressive and it sounded pretty funny. but alan said i shoudn't after he saw my animatic today. :X heh sounds too weird and uncommercial i guess! so i probably got to re-record or use one of the other versions.

for today's interim session, about 8 people (including myself) presented our animatic. mine isn't complete or finalised yet. it still lacks some sound effects and i feel that there is still some problems with the pacing and timing of certain shots. some feedback i got is that i should make the switch on the ground smaller. and i could let the girl use a step ladder instead of a rope ladder to climb up the tree so that when she loses her footing, the step ladder would fall and hit the switch instead. now the size of the switch is a little too...unrealistically huge. ;b


another feedback is that audiences are unable to distinguish between day from night in my animatic. so i got to do something about that. another one is my pacing and as i've mentioned before, the audio (voice overs) as well. yea so that's pretty much it! hopefully i'll get to spend more time on P3 now that anim2 is pretty much over! we still got another module next block though...which is character designing. hopefully it won't be as time consuming and production heavy!
