Blog 2: Pre-production (Part 2)

After researching a couple of changes had to be made.

1- The room needed to have a personality (as it was too empty)

2- I had to produce an animatic

3- The mood board had to be changed

3- The lighting references had to be changed

 

To solve the problem of giving the room a personality, I have decided to make the room more like an asylum. I added a bed with a blanket, mattress and pillow.

I produced a rough animatic.

The changes that needed to be made for the animatic were as following:

  • The character remains seated on the bench and the camera zooms out of the door until you see the main character seated on the bench.
  • The character walks to the door (do not turn the room)
  • Turns the door knob (top view)
  • The room spins
  • The character becomes shocked
  • The character looks at the door
  • The character approaches the door
  • The character lies down on the floor

 

The way that the scene will be lighted is the light will enter from the window. The animatic was then changed again to:

  • The character remains seated on the bench and the camera zooms out of the door until you see the main character seated on the bench.
  • The character walk to the door
  • The character reaches out tot the door handle
  • The room turns
  • The character gets shocked
  • The character walks to the door
  • The character touches the door handle
  • The room rotates
  • The character sits on the ground.

 

Another thing, which got commented on, is that the camera movement is the same through out the animatic and that I need to change it to zoom in and out instead of having to pan only. Which I had to work on for the next animatic and I had to start to look for a character reference that I could use for my modeling process.
