Hey guys! Esp. Christy!

Did you guys post revisions of the work? Could you post it tomorrow? I wanted to work on the trailer today but I slept forever and had game work to do. So tomorrow. It's easy plug ins at this point.

Anyway for some reason everytime I tried to e-mail Christy it wouldn't go through. But I also need the second photo file where they are sitting on the bench. And what is your brother's name for the credits?

"Maya's Notebook" Complete Trailer

We did it guys! Were done. Here is the complete trailer.

when + where we meeting tomarrow?

mac lab? 6pm? bring any edited work, so we can get back to BFA gallery prep asap?

Maya Face- Turn

I've been using this to paint my turn animation, thought it might help you guys.

Friday Stuffs.

So Sunday at 6 workday. Monday at 6 workday. Finished by Tuesday. Seriously. I know we all want to fix up our stuff for the BFA gallery jury.

So Dang since you couldn't make it to BFA Luis and Al critiqued your flashing shot and I put it on the server. It is a suggestion of what you should do.


Crits from class that I remember:
Less panning.
Maya got chubby in Al's club shot
Speed up the craziness in the club shot
Club scene needs pills
Hallway shadow
No Zombie Popo. Teeth make people less zombie. gaping holes not good.
Clear up or redo flashing shots(Working on it.)
The girl in Alvyn's shot needs less detail and more form
We need fire. Which I'll work on in photoshop.

The In-House trailer for Friday

As you all know the In-House trailer is due on Friday. Our stuff doesn't have to be done, so don't panic. But if you guys could post your stuff by 7 PM tomorrow as IMAGE SEQUENCES OR AFTER EFFECTS FILE. That would be awesome, but what would be more awesome is if we would meet in person tomorrow night at like 8PM to go over things then be done by 9PM. If you can't make it I understand because most everyone but me lives kind of far, but that's why it is important to get things done early so if I need to call you about something. Plus I personally would like to sleep.

I think we are in a good spot. so never fear.

Dragged Scene

This was when two of the guys kidnapped Maya and dragged her from the hallway into the apartment. It's a WIP but this is somewhat the gestures of Maya and the type of hallway that I'm working on. Any critiques at this point before I roughly render it out with textures and everything else would be great like gestures, composition, lighting? In Kim's comp, she had about three different windows to the right but I thought the window would have too much light and it would distract from the main focal point which is her face. I was wondering if you guys want a window anywhere in the shot. If not I'll make the light shine from above just like how I planned out with this super super rough shot.

EndRevision

Again, trying to get the book to read and readjusted to try to correct eye-trace problems. Animation is only to get the "wind-blowing" concept. I'm adding extra pages and making the grass move too. Text and timing is all conceptual.

notebook designs

For some reason Blogger was tripping out when I tried to post this earlier, so reposted again. I tried to make each one individually unique as possible. For some reason I think, they're a little too happy looking.

Hallway Revised

Well I was working on it and Kim said it needs to spriral but I'll post this anyways because I kinda like the color of this piece better than the last one.

Ending...

Hey guys, I added a file called endPan04.mov to the group's most recent folder on the server. Let me know what you think. Sry I would have uploaded a smaller file here but something's wrong w/ my comp and all my "save" windows show up blank atm : /

Color Script (Al's Version)

Here is the color script that I've been working on.  There is not a great deal of continuity in the progression, but colors are picked by the feel and lighting of that particular scene. trailers do not tend to have a continuous color progression like movies do. If we stick to a progression we may miss the emotional value of the shots we have picked. If you already have color, look at this, but you don't have to stick to it.




Some Notes about this script:These are IDEAS for color. Do not exclusively drag and drop from these shots. Also don't put these as a color layer over your black and white images (it will F*@& with your image).  The lower images are how I interpreted some of the shots based on this color script. You'll notice that the color is only inspired by the movie rather than dictated by it.

Color Test

Took all colors straight from Skyfall and rearranged them. Would help to have everyone's finished work though to drop into this...

Al, I'd still like to see your version, I have never felt confident w/ color...

Notes from BFA

Shorter pan at the beginning.
Eye trace at the end.
Get rid of the syringe and drugs at the end that are around the notebook. too cliche.
Courtney hated the end text. So lets find text!
Star pan slowed down.
Get rid of the veins in the eyes in Luis's shot.
How the rosary drops.

Things noticed while watching it over and over:
In Luis trucker shot make the silhouette read better and more solid.
The hallway at end needs to twist.
Forest needs to read like a Oregon forest
Make the guy in the robbery shot creepy look.


Final music decisions
sound effects-Look for your shot
 ie- sea sounds, footsteps, breathing, heartbeat, etc

CHRISTY IS GOING TO START THE COLOR SCRIPT, BUT WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO FINISH IT AL????

PoPo and Nini's House Design

Popo and Nini's house, but greyscale for my painting.

Revised Pan

club maya

This is a ridiculously loose maya in club attire. outside of being painted poorly, any critiques?

Rosary designs

Rosaries!

Truck Driver

Heyo. Luis, here is a design of the truck driver.

One of the paints

I'm actually painting this in grayscale but I threw a quick color layer on top so you get an idea of the colors I am going to put on. I actually think I am going to tone down the colors even more for the real color pass.

But yeah like the whole bathroom still has to be painted and I need to put the tile floor in. So I feel I'l like 50% percent done... with this one... 

I also think I am going to add more light hitting the floor around her and bounce light on the toilet and cabinets.

Hey guys!

Hey guys.
Do you guys want to meet up tomorrow at like 5 in the Mac Lab? To compile our trailer/revised animatic in After Effects.

Then lets meet again Sunday evening for a work time at the building? If you can't make it then that's understandable.

Leeman

Here is a quick paint of Leeman.

 

This lower one is the new version.

Star Pan Shot

Star Shot Pan. Will change the lighting temperature of the skirt and grandpa.

Muzak

Hey group, posted some music up on the server. The first clip is a compilation of songs I've done in the past, which means its copyrighted. I'll have to ask what the perimeters for that are. I'd say use them for now if you want and we can deal with it later. The other two recordings are things I've fiddled with in Garage Band. Not copyrighted.

Meeting tomorrow

Hey tomorrow(Tuesday) at 3 at Cafe Frascoti?
Sound good?

I for got to reupload this on Saturday... but I changed the hair this morning so it matches Al's design. 

So I want to try and get this to a realistic point(which I am clearly far from) before I animate the layers. 

I was thinking I'd add freckles and bruises at some point too. But The medical band isn't reading as it should yet at all.

But I am going to continue to work on my still shots for a while then return to this.
