Some days a one day scene takes two days but today I'm pleased to experience a two day scene taking one day. Professor Armitage Shanks is in the bag.
Now to tackle a scene I hadn't planned on, a scene where a tree eats the sun, of course. There also may be cause to film the front of a fire station.
That's the interesting thing about what I'm doing, as I'm going along, I'm re-interpreting the animation. This also resulted in asking the guy who did the narration to add three more bits a couple of weeks ago, this in return then highlights other possibilities when it's all put together.
Basically as I go along and produce a test render for each scene, I then drop it into (or over) the relevant part in the Animatic in a very crude form without effects, transitions or cropping shots. What this has done is to allow me to see the overall picture and feel of the animation, a bit like being handed a bunch of rushes I guess. It's also inspired me into thinking about the sound track which, for the first time, until now I couldn't get into my head and I've prepped an old band member with ideas with which we'll deal with at the end of the month.
Prof. Shanks exits his laboratory to spell things out to you
