Got the character in. Still a lot of work to do. Glitch FX of the environment need to be added and the drone still needs work. Cameras also need tweaking especially in the end sequence.
Just working on improving it now. In the polishing phase.
We have noted somethings that need more work:
Lean into the glitch effect a bit more explicitly.
The voice acting needs to have more emotion.
The slogans, billboards and logos should glitch at the same time and unveil a different meaning.
The slow motion shot didn’t have the intended impact.
The lighting sometimes feels like a sunny day instead of the intended look.
Looking good … making great progress! Amazing how much this has changed!
With regards to feedback … here are three things you prob already know:
shot 09 (actor slides down building):
camera animation … starts close and ends wide but I wonder if the move from close to wide is a bit bumpy and needs smoothing out a little … or would a cut to a wider shot work better?
shot 10 (actor lands and rolls):
actor animation … looks like a slow motion landing that transitions to a real time forward roll … but I wonder if you might try keeping this shot all real time … yes, I know it will make the shot a bit shorter but perhaps you can add a few frames to the slow motion in shot 09? Anyway, just a thought.
and finally,
the end shot:
All good … but anything you can do to get the actor to look more directly into the camera … right now, they look like they are looking below camera … kind of like they are a bit shy;
Lighting on that actors face at the end of the shot … you prob already tried this … but how about trying something a bit more sinister, darker, with some red rim lights or even a red uplight?
Sos, it is easy to get carried away when it is not your own project … lol!
Quick question:
The Special Thanks … at the end of the video … “Mark Wallman” … is that Mark from the University of Hertfordshire? Only asking because we worked together a long, long time ago … but not in a galaxy far, far away!
Seeing the beginning stages of this to now the final product is kind of mind blowing. It’s turned out so well! Especially the fluidity of the movement.
Thanks for continuing to share. Was great to watch it all come together!
