@ Sean and Adam - Plan WIP | Notice message IMPORTANT
Communication in person is at times difficult, due to living distances between all three of us. I am now investing time to produce a guide plan. Please watch this space! Let’s all aim to do out best and revive our morale, like it was in early pre-production.
Adam: Thanks for your continued hard work Adam. Your next task – while fairly challenging – is to collaborate with Sean in UVing and texturing the props, in readiness for placing them into the environment. Alternatively, If you’d like, you can help me UV, skin and rig the characters. First, you must make sure you are up-to-date on the character tutorials. These are suggestions, so please let us know what you would like to work on. Voice your opinion.
Sean: If you have an environment WIP, please upload it. If you are finding it difficult to interpret the environment, let me know.
Concept: Female Presenter
Dress sense:
· The characters approach underground facility during night
o Therefore, nameless female presenter is wearing a coat
· Coat pockets for ‘gadgets’
· Nice blonde hair
· Glasses; short-sighted. She falls over during in one of the clips in the trailer.
@ Sean and Adam, we need to come up with some names for the characters. Throw me suggestions, and please let me know what you think so far.
- Going in heavily armed with gadetery ultimately their downfall
- start or end shot of phone ringing and light flashing and spider destroys
- survivour character 'I am Legend' character, crazy
- Tour scientist, corrupt
- 1 camera man, eusthaustic, bossed by Presenter
- technology - 'principle'
- scientist having a logic to survive
- Female Presenter 'victim' and has most gadgets
- up to date but 50's feel
- 'predator' story
- logic of design style
- 'Rules for World'
- Graphic Novel, High res
- shape rules based on character
- colour rules
- environment rules
- criss-crossing of lights in shot
- logic of spiders
- 50's science equipment
- modern characters entering old space
- Know your universe and boundaries of it
- wires damaged in walls logic for spiders crawling inside them
- need stylisation
- certain characteristics fixed to characters
- Lab 'haunted house' feel, no one goes into because of rumours - derelict state, impregniable shell
- 'Treasure map' scientist guy knows something as he leads them in
- entering building with wrong/false knowledge - not full story
- rumours reveal throughout journey
- up to date gadgets - unintentional weapons that irrate 'brain waves' of spider
- light flickers/ fuzzing to indicate white noise of camera - unintentional indicator to their presence
- off screen noise to determine how they get in there
- hear loud bang when they get down - doors close
- turned off inside as spiders control power
- characters need thier flash lights to see around the darkness
- emergcy lights - safe zone, advantage and disadvantage of spiders
- see them, light and humans in safe zone as red - cloaked
- irony of escape for presenter, spider follows her and escapes with her to get her last gadgets - not in trailer
- dotted emergcy lights to help characters hide from spiders
- white light manipulated by spiders
- montage with 'Fall' at end scene with existing scenes that came before - recycling
To do over next week and what has been agreed
- Research 50's design, animation, objects, posters
- Use this research as influence that can be brought into the design world of story
- Final script
- Find some voice over artists to read small passages of dialogue
- Find some more sounds that might work with what we have already
- 'World building' and design language - filter logic and style in drawing
- Sum up words that identify trailer to formulate structure of story
- Visuals - sketches and intial concepts
- Final concepts - photoshop digital paintings for characters and environments
- Rough storyboard
- Final storyboard
- Basic Art OF PDF showing research, sketches, concepts and storyboard
- Movie animatic with soundtrack
@ Sean and Dayle - let me know if you want me to edit this with your notes to make one complete post other wise I shall leave this as a seperate post, also if I need to add anything to the checklist, maybe Dayle could put a proper checklist up to make it clearer.
Group Message: Blog Layout
Hey Guys. As you are aware, the blog design needs a cleanup and I intend to sort it out.
Things to expect in our new layout:
Ø A simplified interface
o Refined colour scheme
o Navigational buttons that work
o A final logo
Ø A slideshow
Which will be disabled until visual work is on the blog
Best,
Dayle. :-)
