>no lyrics
>boring editing

Good Points

>one particular shot is very good and with better mise-en-scene i might use it in the cw, will have to re-shoot...
>feeling of intimacy achieved?? and of isolation as it goes on?? hope so

Just messing about with the software, as i didnt do any of the more complicated editing stuff last year really.

Animation1

This is really terrible, its done on my phone without a tripod, and you can ignore the last 20 seconds lol but anyway if you can imagine the underlying image as being greescreen you can see the transition would work pretty well, has a surreal quality.

i have storyboards done i will post soon

prelims

ive finished my prelim stuff!! i storyboarded some angles i liked and tried those out on camera, which went pretty well... the only thing i cant do at the moment is stop gap animation, and the software still isnt ready, which is so annoying but at the same time i guess i can catch up on my crs stuff!! When the software becomes available i can finish off the practice shots i have filmed, and then start to work on the rest of my storyboards...

next up i have to storyboard the rest of the song, i think i need some sort of secondary narrative so i can mix up the locations a bit, and to work out the best way to record the audio stream is i am doing live performance. need to find locations as well grrr

you tube is wang

i cant get my animation up onto youtube i will have to try saving it in a different format or somthing : ( I have realised i cant just do previs of the cgi and i will have to do some conventional storyboarding, hopefully i can get this done over the weekend so i can do some practice cgi intime for when i start editing which might be as soon as next monday, depending on the thursday shoot. I expect the thursday shoot to be a disaster as i have not done any planning for it, but there is still time, and it think it is important to get raw footage as early as possible, i anticipate needing thee shoot days, and possibly i will need to turn my shed into a set but god knows how i will do this!!

amy found a really beautifull song called falling away with you by muse, gonna use it instead of foo fighters as the concept i want to use is still applicable, as is the narrative of broken down love / isolation : )

random chat

imagine i animate a peice of paper scrumpling up into a ball
								uhuh
		18:13:10						okay, this would be cool if the film suddenly froze and scrumpled up
		18:13:25						but! it would be shit if all you could see was the table
		18:13:30						underneath the paper
		18:13:35						u still follow?
		18:13:41						uhuh
		18:13:44						WOW
		18:13:48						i am doing good!!
		18:13:51						well
		18:14:48						if i scrumple the paper up on top of greenscreen, i can play the next shot, of, say, john drumming, so you wont see a table anymore you will see john scrumpled up and john playing underneath again!!
		18:14:55						but i need to practice
		18:15:06						as i want the paper to scrunch up into a swan
		18:15:15						and then have it turn into a reallife swan
		18:15:19						and things like that
		18:15:29						well, i might find it hard to get a swan
		18:15:29						"john" scrumpled up and john playing underneath again!! lol
		18:15:33						u make perfect sense
		18:15:42						are you being sarcastic?
		18:15:47						if you actually understand
		18:15:52						u are the first person
		18:15:53						lol
		18:15:58						i understand
		18:16:01						WOW!!
		18:16:23						i am putting the transcript of this on my production blog !!
