Day 19

I was abit puzzled as I posted this on Monday but it came up to be Sunday instead..
-Technical error
*Sorry for the delay, I will be updating my previous blogs as soon I have the time*

I had plans to consult Amanda on how my animatics or even storyboard should be improved. As mentioned earlier, Alan commented that my narration can be cut down. The thing which still puzzles me would be should the narration only be held at the end or would it be throughout. I wasn't certain with the decision.

Furthermore, Alan also mentioned that I should show the Priest being happy in the sky, where it slowly builds up the tension of him being blown away. I wanted to show Amanda my storyboard as to which can be altered or modified.

So once I got the green light (approval) on my storyboards and animatics, I will start on my production.

For now, I was just looking at my storyboards, seeing which scene is the easiest to animate first. I had difficulty choosing between the scene where the priest puts his gadgets and the one where the ocean flows below him. In the end, I chose to do the ocean scene.

However, I wasn't sure how to animate realistic ocean like flow.
I researched on how to animate river flowing and I found this three links which can be of a great help to me.

Wah!! But it looked so tough to animate it! Gosh~! May need some help there.

Oh I also learnt something new about formats.
For a normal format 3:4
Widescreen 1: 1.85
Cinemascope 1: 2
Panavision 1: 2.35

Will do more research along the way.
God Bless
