ginnette_layout

Here's the final layout for Aminata's film [working out camera move].

I did some test rendering in the process;
1) To experiment on 'Mental Ray'
2) To figure out a average timing for the render of a frame.

Avg. time = 45 secs [on an Intel dual core E6600 processor]
Frame resolution _ 720*539

note:
Time will increase *3 once we add the rest of the garbage to the scenes.

ginnette_layout

Suggested change to animatic;

Avoid having Ginnette put back picture in draw as it breaks tempo

We still dolly out of picture, but it's placement is now on the table as opposed to Ginnette's hand.
This means that we can already have her dancing as we dolly out, cutting from the process the section where she places picture in the draw.
This allows the music to follow through.

Bobo Designs






Asa was unhappy with the current Bobo design, so I offered to help.



Bobo’s much larger than the girl and I’ve designed it as a hopper.
It distinguishes it from other characters inhabiting the dead world.


Make cuddley.
