Re: BiM Summer Contest: Darkness & Light Production Topic

GHB, Ok. Will you share the new look with us too?

Rio, I like the use of the neon green, and the way you lit the frame makes those parts seem to glow just a little bit.
Looks nice.

LMD, That's really cool, love the set and angle, but I'm sure the cramped space makes animating difficult.


Finished this scene late last night early this morning.
This means I've got one small dialog scene and the ending scene left and I'm done with filming!
Both may be on the same set, so that'll speed things up nicely.

And who doesn't like lens flares? mini/sunnies

Edit: Got the first 8:11 of the film into a (very) rough cut. Got the clip timing and dialog down, but no additional sounds beyond the 1:10 mark. Rough guess is an 11 minute-ish runtime total. It's really coming together well, and I'm quite proud of what's taking shape.

The rough cut is already my longest film since TOY back in 2011, and enough raw footage is filmed to push the runtime beyond that. It'll easily be the longest film on my channel, but probably won't pass the 12:20-ish of my first real "film" finished in early 2011. (That is not worthy of public viewing, trust me!)

Wow Pritchard Studios that is really pretty. Feels a lot like stage lighting to me.

When you spend an hour setting up a 2 second shot.

I just started animating, I'm really happy how this shot turned out. It took an hour to set up and 20 minutes to animate.

Re: BiM Summer Contest: Darkness & Light Production Topic

Rocky, that looks sweet. Loving the red lighting.



That's a wrap!
Just finished filming the final scene. http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p84/UberSocks/54.gif
Shouldn't take too awful long to get a rough cut together.

Re: BiM Summer Contest: Darkness & Light Production Topic

Starting to worry about my entry. I've animated less than one quarter of the video. I am hoping I'll be able to animate more.

Wow... I've animated about half of mine, and I'm worrying. mini/tongue

Lol, I'm still in pre-production. And I'm still working out a few last things before I start.

I just finished the (very) rough draft of my story. I should probably be a bit worried, but I'm not. Hmmm... mini/shifty

Re: BiM Summer Contest: Darkness & Light Production Topic

Don't worry guys, remember, a 15 minute film was just made in a week.
If you plan in pre-production well enough, the rest will fall into place rather quickly.
And a month is plenty of time to make (Or finish) a good film.
Ya'll got this.

The first Rough Cut is rendering!
15:02, with no credits, music, or hardly any sounds.

Edit: There's a few little issues, but they are easily fixed, and I'll hopefully be sending it off to the composer soon.

That looks really cool, I like your framing.

For entrants looking for some visual inspiration, here's a neat video I came across.

"Xibalba, composed by Clint Mansell, from The Fountain soundtrack." I'm sold. Black and white film is really underrated. There is just so much you can do with the lighting. I hope some of the entries take good advantage of that.

Re: BiM Summer Contest: Darkness & Light Production Topic

I have one more shot to animate and then I can start editing. The only problem is that this shot was never completed in the storyboard so I have no idea what to do for this shot.

Re: BiM Summer Contest: Darkness & Light Production Topic

Guys! I started animating mine! Gosh. I worrying!?

Less than a month left. Tensions are high.

I've spent the last two days figuring out how to light this shot. I'm pretty happy with the results.

Could you guys give some feedback on the set and lighting for these 2 pics? Thx!
