Process
The journey is not always easy and every plan has to be changed. Although we knew a rough process to get the film made, it wasn't until we got stuck in that realised that we didn't necessarily know what we were doing.

Out of this review, I drew up a plan of action on how to get to the end. This was an invaluable tool... and we still strayed off the path!

Learning

I didn't realise just how cumbersome building a take had become, with any change in the timeline taking 20+ seconds. Painful, unworkable and leading to instability. We decided on outputting multiple avi's so I restricted an avi to a particular scene/location. This enabled me to use camera cuts in Antics to stage the scene and cut the different scenes together editing.
Process Steps

  • Imagine in my mind
  • Basic shot list
  • Storyboard of shots using Antics
  • Review storyboards, discuss difficult bits and resolve potential problems
  • Create a more detailed shotlist with updates. Break this down into a shooting schedule
  • - Decisions here will include understanding easy shots & sets, what we want first, what might be re-used.
  • - Chunk the shotlist into a timebox plan with specific deliverables for each stage
  • Work to the shotlist creating and dressing sets
  • - Potentially take a basic "Mastershot" recording of the set zooming through it for a review
  • - Add cameras and characters
  • - Add all necessary animations, props, etc
  • - Add any tracks for cameras anticipating where stuff will move
  • - Record all start poses
  • - Record any sound
  • Working through shotlist, record action, add sound then cut between cameras
  • Output avi's
  • - These will need to be saved in Set (location) libraries and clearly labelled, etc
  • Rushes should be pulled together with basic editing for each chunk of the plan
  • Once all avi's in then the "Big Edit" can start.
  • Presume this could start before if all the chunks for a section are in

Not sure how sound fits in with all of this. Needs to be added in for specific avi's but not sure when overall sound is put on - probably editing? So need to plan out the score for the film as well as sound fx.
