Turnarounds For Simon
Granda a.k.a the rocking chair
Matts chairs redone. Hey matt for the bible all the background for the images has to be white however cuz of the programme u did it on when i tried to make the background white it made the whole image white, so ive taken them onto photoshop and gone over the lines in black. However the isometric view was too small of a file so i had to redraw the whole thing from scratch. I also need different poses from the furniture so i drew one rocking aswell. Katy x

Hey guys, this is a scene from the animation, as it's currently looking.
I need comments by everyone to say if there is anything you think we need to change!
At this point I think i'm going to add 2 more mouths - somehow mouth 7 of 9 has disappeared, so im going to try and add that in again. And also i think we need a mouth 0 - a mouth which is just plain, rather than leaving Simon with no mouth for periods.
What do you think?

Title re-think ?!?
Hey guys, ben was talking to me on how the title "missing people" its a bit..... wel... it sucks basically, so i was thinking of us all brainstorming ideas for like anew name... i mean if we cant come up with anything better then "missing people witll have to do.... :/ but i was thinking of something more subtle as our existing title kinda gives the game away before it starts. maybe something just plain like "Simon" as the tile like "chucky" "handcock" "solomon kane" "bolt" "shaft" "Robin Hood" "harry potter" all have the main charcters name as the title...x or we could call it something like
Blog 345 - so it tells the audience how many blogs he has done, so at the start when he goes im just doing my weekly blog it sort of makes more sense and then at the end the audience can relate to him as to why hes missing his family as hes been done so long.... u know, remember to make ur own contributions

Live Action Footage (to be recorded again though!)
Guys, this is the original recording we were working towards for our first animatic.
We are going to put more cut-scenes into our animatic, so their will be a new live action footage video uploaded in about a week's time.
Use this for our new animatic to look at the backgrounds we are using. However use the animatic (which i am uploading after this) for the timing of the new animatic.

End credit song/theme
Below are a group of sounds taken from Youtube.com. These sounds are possibilities for our ending credits, some are a little too eerie but i think they will all work. Everyone should leave their opinions at the bottom (comment!) to which one(s) you think are better or worse and which one should be used as our end credit song. Although Ben and me get the final say but we will take your pinions into our consideration when choosing. Remember our end credits are only 27.5 seconds long and these songs/themes below are about 3 minutes long so point out which segment of each song would work best, for example "0.30-0.57 of sound 1"
Sound 1 - Mewtwo Suite - TyrannicalFascist - Youtube.com
Sound 2 - Atriumcaceri- End titles - Youtube.com
Sound 3 - Dead Silence music - only music - Youtube.com
Sound 4 - Deeply emotional and depressing music -Youtube.com
Sound 5 - Stigmata movie - sad music - Youtube.com
Sound 6 - Sad Violin - Youtube.com
Sound 7 - melancholy - sad piano and violin music - Youtube.com
remember to comment :)

Hand-Held Shots
The hand-held movie camera first saw widespread use during World War II, when news reporters took their windup Arriflexes and Eyemos into the heat of battle, producing some of the most arresting footage of the twentieth century. After the war, it took a while for commercially produced movies to catch up, and documentary makers led the way, demanding the production of smaller, lighter cameras that could be moved in and out of a scene with speed, producing a "fly-on-the-wall" effect.This aesthetic took a while to catch on with mainstream Hollywood, as it gives a jerky, ragged effect, totally at odds with the organised smoothness of a dolly shot. The Steadicam (a heavy contraption which is attached a camera to an operator by a harness. The camera is stabilized so it moves independently) was debuted in Marathon Man (1976), bringing a new smoothness to hand held camera movement and has been used to great effect in movies and TV shows ever since. No "walk and talk" sequence would be complete without one. Hand held cameras denote a certain kind of gritty realism, and they can make the audience feel as though they are part of a scene, rather than viewing it from a detached, frozen position.

Not going to go with File 3 (50), as it has the two biggest cuts from what we originally wanted, plus it is the longest clip.
I’m also ditching File 2 (48) for File 1 (47), as the 2 Seconds off the Granddad dialogue I feel will be harder to cut down than it would be to add dialogue.
Chosen clip: File 1 (47)
Forgot to tape character at the end
Options:
Talk but just not show character
Have character in camera but occasionally looking behind him to watch for tripping.
