    thats more of a close up view but dont bother about the material colours aof them and the lighting lol
      • Deon Carlos Litchmore Do you want the concept art gerome?

      • Deon Carlos Litchmore 
        Would you like me to do front and profile sketches of everything that needs modelled?

        The mountains look cool. Id say make some more angular though instead of bumpy so like /\ but good job.

        On a real though sort out the tree LOL some broken ...See more

    I'm going to contact everyone individually, but, we're all going to finish this in a week. I have faith, we'll just have to work very hard. I think at the end of the deadline we should do something to celebrate. So, right now, let's work towards that reward in our minds.
  • Gerome Oldfield
    what Iv'e got from what I know its suppose to look like. any input?
      • Dominique Koomoshan I'm sorry but I don't even know what this is...

    1 week left.
  • Deon Carlos Litchmore
    Hows it going?
  • Deon Carlos Litchmore
    So guys, In preparation for tomorrow, let's try and make this as awesome as possible. Sorry I didn't make it in today, woke up with a huuuuge headache. But anyway:

    GEROME - You're first. All black, over the top. Turn yourself into some anime character.

    Oly - Same outfit in the green screen footage that we shot.

    Dom (Lily + Sarah) - Lily and Sarah you're in brackets cause I dunno if this is something you'd be interested in do, but yeah. MAKEUP ARTISTS! For both Gerome and Oly.

    Ash - Bring the top if you can. If not, don't worry about it.

    Everyone - Any portable lights/ torches you can find, bring et.

    Me - Find out how to get rid of the zoom and auto compression the camera does.

    I was going to say, after a good shoot (assuming) we could all go to the cinema and see I am number four and I'd pay half of everyones ticket, but Oly has work (noob) and Dom is going to see Black Swan (smallernoob)

    Anything I've missed? Or any suggestions?
  • Oly Walters
    hey guys. Ive just been looking at the footage we shot the other day and I hate to say it but its not very good. Its really zoomed in and the stuff we saw on the screen on the camera is not what has come out on the film. Some stuff you cant really see and an the first lot is way too zoomed to comprehend what is going on. Are we still reshooting tomorrow? Its quite funny to watch but I dont think wed be able to add cg to it lol.
      • Lily Blacknell thats cool, we have the lesson on wednesday this week so we have thursday off lol
        21 February at 22:41 · 
      • Deon Carlos Litchmore Yeah, that sucks. And the quality got auto compressed, HARD. Thankfully we're going to re-shoot.

    Today and Thursday we'l be discussing and FINISHING the storyboard. Friday is filming. Needs to be done ASAP. I want everyone to set their own task for the weekend that suits around their commitments. Make sure you set a task for yourself that you CAN complete.
  • Deon Carlos Litchmore
    Who's in tomorrow?
      • Oly Walters I'm gunna be in Thursday but also have work so can't stay longer than on the timetable. Been I'll the last couple of days

    I really like the idea and story it's simple but effective. Its kind of Alice in wonderland too. One question though. What am I wearing tomorrow and what am I supposed to bring? I have two very similar shirts one dark red and one light blue if that helps? Ive even got an Alice in wonderlandesque dress if that helps.
      • Dominique Koomoshan bring ANYTHING :D I say because...I'd rather we have too much than too little choice.
        09 February at 22:56 ·

    Story of idea
    • Spider could be an abusive boyfriend possibly?
    • To escape Little Miss Muffet’s fears, she could escape to her own fantasy world like Alice in Wonderland, Paranoia Agent and Paprika. Despite feeling content, a spider slowly crawls down from the umbrella she’s holding and meets her at eye level. She freaks out and quickl...
