The Edit Suite

Today we pulled together all of the footage we've shot so far for the 48 Hour Film Project and whilst there are a few gaps, we've definitely made a huge dent in the workload. So we brought all of that footage down to the Edit Suite where we get to play with the entire Adobe Suite!


So far it's going quite well (as in there aren't many arguments... yet), here's hoping that mood keeps up! We've divided some of the work load so there's some editing going on in one corner whilst someone else looks up the visual effects we're going to implement as well as someone else searching for some music we can use (Me).

I really like the concept of our project and it's put my geekery to good use as I have a pile of comics from home that are now getting their moment of fame in the film. We're really playing this quite tongue-and-cheek with a film that's trying to be serious but definitely isn't and is also skirting the 'drugs territory'... I say skirting... it's jumped over the line... Daphne's actually a pretty good little actress and somehow manages to play someone "high on comics" quite well.



Within a few hours today we've managed to pulled together a very rough cut, minus the footage we're getting on Saturday. We've discussed a lot of things as well like sound, music and effects so we're going in to tomorrow and the weekend relatively hopeful!

Cure - Advanced Skeleton 5

I spent a fair chunk of the day yesterday playing around with Advanced Skeleton 5 in Maya and honestly, it's amazing. I wasn't sure how well it would work with my model because it is so low poly but I came out surprisingly well. So Advanced Skeleton gives you the joints from a template and once they're all lined up you can build the controllers to see how it will move. Because you do all of this in stages, you can change and update the rig at any point.  There are a few different methods to bind the skin and this is one of them, but in the end I didn't use the Skin Cage because it didn't seem necessary for my model. Once the body rig was done I spent a LONG time trying to get the facial rig to work. I was clearly doing something wrong the first few times I tried it because it worked just fine when I sat down and worked through it step by step! The skeleton also comes with pre-made walk cycles so I put my character into these to see how the de...

Cure - Feedback and Final Tweaks

After our final presentations on Friday I took on board the feedback from the lecturers and implemented it into a final version of Cure. I agreed with everything they said and listed off what needed to be fixed: The biggest issue was that the story wasn't coming across properly as the 'dying polygons' were only ever there in the first few shots and the character didn't seem to lose that many polygons. There were some camera shots that lingered for almost 10 seconds and they needed some variation. Some of the animation needed to be more obvious and expressive. There were errors in the recording from Unity, the eyes flickered and the lighting updates needed to be cut at the beginning of each camera change. The sound needed to be boasted as it didn't come across through a TV. I first fixed the issues of the dying polygons by adding more black polygons to the character that progressively spread as the film went on until she got the cure. I kept these to the...
