Challenges
The internals was hard work as there are the odd shots through other storey windows so it's necessary to have some stuff in all rooms! Not difficult, just a long process of placing and positioning stuff - furniture, plants, pictures, etc. I also expanded Miles' lounge so that it looks more realistic and there's more space to film - just like on a film set!
I read that Spielberg introduced the camera moving and then saw some Jurassic Park. Sure enough, it's always moving and the blocking works so that a camera moves through a set as the actor does and the camera gets to a detail (perhaps a close up of the hand) as the actor moves into the space. I tried to apply this to my cameras to make it a bit professional.
I tested specific animations for Suzie and Miles first to make sure I was outputting what I wanted. I then added starting poses for people and cameras and was ready for shooting the Lounge shots.
In order to lip-sync trhe characters mouths I recorded the dialogue and used this in Antics. This on the presumption that it won't change the characters too much once I have the real thing from the actors.
