Setting up for my animation
I met with El again today to discuss the finl points to begin animating my project. He showed us a few things about analysing sound & movment of characters which I found helpfull since I need to match up the actions of my characters with the voice over. He also explained how helpful it can be to have clay models with wire skeletons to improve the movements & to stop them from falling apart when we are filming. Because I wanted to use blue screen instead of actual sets I decided to use the media rooms fabric blue screen but as El pointed out, the fabric has too many lumps & the light makes shadows appear which I really don't want because it can mess up the background! He showed me how to experiment with different coloures to see which is the best colour to use for a background. We finally decided on pure green since the only green on my models id the fichnet on Penny's legs which I can easily change. So now all I have to do before I can animate is fix my 'green screen', fix my Penny model & experiment with the colour scemes so the green screen will work.

Hey Robert, your models are looking great, especially with features like Nick's tatts, Sister Cecilia's rosary beads and Penny's fishnet stockings. Yeah, it will be tricky at the start when you're filming coz you'll need to do some test runs to find out which is the correct colour for the screen. But once you've got that sorted you're off and away. Best wishes and good luck! (-:
