The Start of a New Block

We are well into the second block of MOI project 1! We've been doing lots of planning and test for the production, such as tracing the street pictures, find the right spots to shoot and testing if the effect( on After Effects) work. And thank goodness it works. So all we need to shoot and get that effect , is a Green Screen, as the backgrounds are going to be tracings of streets. And we also final found a talent to Starr in our video, a fun and quirky one :)

Yesterday we shot the our stop motion sequence, and we chose the busiest part of school, the entrance. It was though shooting there, lots of students and lecturers pacing in and out, so some time we got blocked and had to stop and leave our poor talent in an awkward position (because of the stop motion). It was a long afternoon, leaving Wafah, our dear talent and me exhausted, I feel bad for our talent cos she had to do everything frame by frame. However, with all the hard work and time we used, only a bit of the footage. Sometimes the camera moved, it was hard for our talent to walk slow-motion all the time, thus we could not capture the emotion. And that an important aspect of that sequence. This means we either have to re shoot the stop motion, or we do it in video.

The to-do list for next week:

1) Shoot the sequence again (probably in video)
2) Get a Green screen to shoot the other scenes
3) Finish the tracing of the streets
