Photogrammetry of the Trolls and Robot Texturing!

Testing Photogrammetry as a 3D modeling device,

Taking 360 degree photos of our Troll Dolls - using an DSLR camera and a potters wheel !

The photos have been uploaded onto the Autodesk 123D capture server.....time to wait and see if we have a workable .obj file!

Previs

So this week we're checking out some Previs examples, ready to put together our own Previs in the next week or so!

 Our skype call with Axis

Animatic

Today we had a second skype call with Axis and they seemed really positive about our new idea. Based on their feedback we refined our animatic even further, cutting some unnecessary dialogue and characters to make the story tighter, and this is the finished result.

Next steps are to produce some concept work looking at the mood and lighting of the piece and to decide on final character designs. After that we can get started with asset production.

GoingLive.Animation&FVX2016 - Camera movements movie

Working out our camera movements....

Storyboarding and camera set ups

So today we've had another group brainstorming session.
We listened to the rough mash up audio track and created some initial ideas for storyboarding.


Rough sketch concept for the set.

When we got confused during the storyboarding process, about whether or not we were crossing the line, and which camera angles would be good and save unnecessary modelling, we recreated a mock up version of the set layout, grabbing whatever was to hand in the studio...... video cases, gloves, toys, books and folders!

Rough draft storyboards

So the Robot is the lie detector, right? And Sonic is Jeremy Kyle!!!

Gonzo, who is really a Sylvanian Family rabbit...

So, are we crossing the line??

Yes. Back to the drawing board....

Gonzo and his chocolate rabbit siblings...

Nice orange kiddy felt tip sofa. The pen....well that's just a pen.

Storyboarding & Transcript

So our project is really working as a professional project would.
We've taken on board the feedback from Axis this week and have adapted our ideas, developed and simplified the storyline....

Our group is working well as a team and we are communicating as a group, with round table brainstorming sessions, plus utilising our closed Facebook group to post inspiration links, thoughts, images and questions to the group.

This is us at work today, beginning to draft out some storyboard images. We've also done a rough sketch and plan of the 'set', so we can begin to establish our shots...
