More slackness on my side for neglecting this progress blog. But never fear, that doesn't mean nothing has been happening. I finished the animatic a week or so ago, I gives a fair indication of the timing. Very basic mind you. Looking at it I think that it will run a bit longer than this, closer to the 5 - 6 minute mark - but that is something that will be decided on how much interesting footage I can get as well as the pacing with the actual shots. I have filmed some basic tests and will be playing with them over the next couple of weeks - doing basic comps of exported 3D cubes as well as 2D elements into scenes. I'll post up some screens of those as they come. I will be posting actual examples of my program tests soon but I thought I may as well wait till the end of the month and throw up a big reel of them then - I should have some actual comped examples by then so then you will be able to see how it all comes together ( sort of =p). Still playing with the visual style - at this stage take my word and assume it will be a mixture.
Heading off to see Scott Pilgrim vs the World tomorrow (release day and all!) which should provide some excellent inspiration.
