"Live Action" pictures

So these are obviously right out of my camera, but I uploaded them so that I can work on them in photoshop tomorrow from a different computer, and I thought I might as well post them here for you all to see. My sister's name is Lynzi, she's 14 and would kill me if she knew how many people were seeing her making funny faces. Anyway, I'm not sure what I'll use out of this, but its a start to making a more realistic looking animatic.

New thoughts...

Thanks for all of the responses about my girl/boy issue. I agree that a guy camper might do better for my story, however, since I'm with my sister for the weekend, she'll be the one I use for now. I've taken some live action shots of her that I'm putting into my animatic. I've also been watching my "I Shouldn't Be Alive" DVDs this weekend. I'm not sure how similar I can make my thesis. Obviously, mine will have a sort of comedic flair, which the show certainly does not. Also, in the show, they do interviews with the survivors, and mine is only the story. However, the way they should what is happening inside the body is a look I like. I know I've been thinking about these "Scientific shots" to show what is happening to specific organs. A lot of my comments on this blog have suggested a voice over to make it more understandable. Try to picture this: what if I had a CG body, which was "see through" except for the organs inside, and the way I went from live action to CG was just a quick flash from the camper, to a CG body in the same position as the real camper had been in. From there, we use the fake CG camera to move into the body to an organ that a narrator is talking about, explaining to the viewer what is happening with that specific organ or muscle. I know this deviates a bit from what I previously had been planning, but this is what I've been seeing done in the reference I have been looking at, and I really like the look of the transition. This way I would be better able to show off my modeling skills, but the same body (model) would be used through all of the shots. I'll show a clip of my reference on Wednesday to better explain what I'm talking about. Thanks for reading this long post everyone! Now my question is, should I continue working on an animatic with "scientific shots", or should I work on stills with a CG body to put into the animatic instead? Any ideas??

Progress...

So I've gotten together all of the information I want to use for my "Scientific Screens". I've decided to make them pretty simple, something an average viewer can read and comprehend in 5-7 seconds on screen. I'm also gathering sound effects for all of my shots in my animatic. I have two questions that I'd like to poll you guys on...#1: Is it that big of a deal if my camper is a guy or a girl? My younger sister loves posing for pictures and she'd probably be the easiest for me to use for at least my animatic, but my storyboards featured a male. Big deal or no? #2: Does anyone have any ideas for a "Jaws like" music sequence I can use whenever the spider enters the frame? Let me know! Thanks:-)

Back in Action...

After a relaxing week at the beach...I'm back in NY and ready for the last half of the semester. My "I Shouldn't Be Alive" DVD series was at my apartment waiting for me when I got home, so I'm going to get started on watching a few tonight. I'm also in the process of putting together some images for a new animatic, and trying to figure out my audio. I hope everyone else had a great break!

Progress...

I really would like to have a nice, almost complete animatic in three weeks when I next present. I'm getting together images I can use to replace some of my storyboards. I'm getting together the exact information I want to show on the "scientific screens" also. I'll post next time I have anything new and interesting to say...

Stupid printer...

So I thought I was doing so well, I got my T-shirt transfers last week, and I had my logo done, and I even went to get new ink for my printer today. I get home from class tonight, and after spending 45 minutes trying to fix a paper jam in the printer, I realize that the NEW color ink cartridge I bought for some reason has NO red ink. Yes, red, the main color besides black in my logo. It's almost midnight, when Kinko's closes, so I have no choice but to print my black and yellow logo on a t-shirt. I then realize that the program I am using to open my logo does not mirror images. Photoshop got wiped from my computer a few months ago. OK, so now I spend another half hour trying to figure out how to mirror my image. Thanks to "Adobe Elements", I finally accomplish this task. Now as for the iron. I am not an ironer. At all. I get the front ironed. Now I try to get fancy and put "crew" on the back of my shirt, and end up screwing that up, while melting the image on the front of the shirt to the pillowcase I'm using to iron on the table. I also can't figure out how to turn off the steam, which does not work with the transfers. Needless to say, my t-shirt did not come out the way I had hoped. I'll bring it tomorrow so that I have something, but maybe I'll go to shutterfly and get my logo put on a mug or something. Maybe a mousepad. That would be good. On top of all this, I didn't find a guy willing to take pictures for my animatic. Grrr. No one wants to be the dorky camper. Oh well, I'll keep bugging people I know. Any takers?

Progress

Lately, I've been kind of "coming down" from the mid term. I'm planning on taking some real photos tomorrow to put into my animatic. I'm hoping someone I know is willing to play the camper! We'll see who I can get...I hope everyone else is having some luck!
