3D Pre-Vis Progress Pt2:

-
Moving on with the 3D Pre-Vis I looked at adding in the static shots the initial rough camera cut animatic. Through doing so I found it has added some much needed pause within the scenes to help pair back the movements of the drones and gives the audience time to take in some of the environment in which the drones are exploring.

3D Pre-Vis Reviewed (Minor): Rough Camera Cut Animatic Version 2: No Sound.


With the static shots now in place; I then turned to adding in some ambient sounds and simple effects to the animatic to add further interest and to help build the quite atmosphere an abandoned town may inherit from lack of human life.. 

When We're Gone Animatic Version 3: with Sound.


With this animatic, it has given me a clearer understanding of how I will shoot my final film. Taking into account the various camera movements and shot types; by doing this it should hopefully help better guide me in what to animate and the amount of frames that are needed for each scene, so I don't then end up rendering/animating excess frames I don't need.

In Field's Paradigm, he lays out the Acts and their structure of what happens and when. Exposition - introduced to the film’s main character(s) and situation. Inciting Incident -   Complication/ incident that sets events into motion. End of Act 1 : Plot Point 1 -The event in which the character takes on the central problem. Mid-Point (Act 2) - The main character faces increasingly intense and complex problems / obstacles. End of Act 2 ...

Figure 1: Kong Film Poster. The creative force that is King Kong (1933) was directed and produced by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack and written by the visionary minds of James Ashmore Creelman and Ruth Rose.   Devised from the ideology of beauty and the beast, it shows Kong to lose sense of the world around him in order to ‘protect’ Ann (Fay Wray), who throughout the film since after meeting Kong is clearly distressed and anxious of Kong’s possessive tendencies. Forming a whirlwind of cinematography as it “plunders every trick in the book to create its illusions” (Ebert, 2002) for the audiences at the time of its release date. ( Figure 1 ). Figure 2: Ann kidnapped by tribes' people. At the time of King Kong’s (1933) release America was at the peak of the Great Depression (1929-1939), most citizens were unemployed and some even left homeless due to companies going out of business. So, for Hollywood to put out the blockbuster King Kong (1933) it ...
