Notes from the Monday night meeting

NOTES FROM THE MEETING:
-Take out the graveyard shot and have a little more animation in the shot over Popo dying. Like Maya's hand tensing.
-The scene where she runs in front of the truck needs to be more dramatic.
-Flashing scenes need to have very strong values to read
-Expression on the firestarter's face needs to go from serious to angry
-Instead of the needle going into her arm try having her tightening the band
-More graphic possibilities for the flashing shots so they read. Example the shadows on the floor.
-Perhaps she slides towards the truck or running and falls in front of the truck
-Hall at the end should tilt different angles like it is twisting
-Falling photos showing happy times
-Try reordering the animatic with the Candyman to falling transition towards the end
-Introduce Nini and have a little more build up with the calm happy times
-For the forest running shot Alvyn wanted to experiment with a strobe effect as to where you can see the character when she is running

WORK AT:
300dpi
2000x3700 for regular frames, but if you have a panning shot double or triple that
Then when we enter the After Effects stage of the project we need to make all our stuff COMPOSITIONS for making the master file.
Also Alvyn reccomented the site Video Copilot for tutorials on After Effects and that we should learn to be comfortale navigating, using that programs hotkeys, and simple filters.

WHAT EVERYONE IS ASSIGNED:
Dang: Starshot, hall way, one or two of the flashing shots there is a shot with her being dragged by two men and a shot of the seedy side of Vegas with kneeyon lights if you want to do those
Christy: Opening panning shot, Photos(except the star shot which will just be a cropped version of Dangs painting), Popo dying
Al: The goths robbing the guy in the hotel room(It seemed like this one would be really easy to take to finish), Maya lighting the match, Candyman pan down to club shot, the trucker shot, Plus your probably going to have to do really quick paintovers of everyone's Maya so they feel like the same girl.
Kim: Mainly flashing shots(her on the floor, Brandon being killed, the beating, being torture after she was kidnapped), Maya falling through the buildings, the transition of her pulling the ban to the money to the fire shot
Alvyn: The whole shot from the rehab center to her getting picked up by the truck. Truck design
Christine: Rosary beads the truck driver drops, and exterior of the Berkeley house

Next meeting is at 3pm on Sunday. Post your work during the week.
