Concept Sketches - Main Project

I have sketched up some of the concept thumbnails a little bigger to illustrate the ideas behind the shots I posted up last week a little clearer.

Here are the pages at the moment:

The notes are on the sketches here, as well as the post from last week, to give you an idea of what we hope to achieve. Time will also develop the techniques we will employ, even though roughly we have an idea at this stage. 

It is a piece totally based on technique - even when writing, it is all about character and pure cinema. But, the main focus for me is storytelling through compositing techniques - creating cinema-based images to tell this interesting and fairly simple story.

I may draw these sketches up in Photoshop to a more sophisticated standard this week, or some time after that/after assessment (as I believe it gives one an idea of the progress). 

Development will continue for some months now, along with test shoots and effects, so keep staring at your computer screens (without changing this tab...)

48 Hour Film Project

Last week we shot and edited the 48hfp.

The team was me, Jack Chen, Alanna Butchart and Michael Fu.

There wasn't necessarily a director, but people took up the selection of roles needed. It wasn't very democratic either. However, in a sense, I created the concept and the character, and the filming and editing was taken up, ostensibly, by others. I also acted in the piece.

So, here it is:

There were lots of options when it came to editing because we shot so much from two separate vantage points, and had some cut sequences.

What I really like about it is the luck in weather we had to get very nice shots and contrast between the settings/locations on the two days of shooting. I enjoyed acting the role and the guys did well with the shots, and when it comes to editing I think it looks pretty slick.
