Storyboards

Storyboards are avaliable on Jonny's blog, cross-posted here:
All the images are hosted on Jonny's blog so if they go down it's his fault.

Final task and credit list.

This morning I uploaded the final task to YouTube:

Final task complete.

Jonny came round yesterday and went over the changes I made, he didn't like the running scene and I wasn't entirely happy with it myself so we re-shot it again with our protagonist running slower and with different camera angles (that's a temporary whiteboard in my office, ignore the writing on the top left). We saw that we might have broken the 180 degree rule during the conversation between Nick and the cosmonaut, so thought it best to add in a previous shot for no other purpose than to ease the 'flow' of the conversation and stop the audience getting all confused.

Machinima setup

I was looking through my camcorder and found a picture of Jonny recording some machinima in my kitchen:

It shows what our machinima setup looks like. Also some good news is that the final render worked and I'm uploading it to an external server right now. From there Jonny will review the film and make comments. I joined his Xbox LIVE Party last night and he said he'd be free next week, then we'll go through what would be the 'final  edit'. In the meantime I might try a machinima montage in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Matthieu seems incredibly keen on trying it.

Editing update 02

I 'animated' the Gmod models, it took a while and I had to make a few attempts before I got the perspective right.
The timeline now looks like this:

A noise filter has been added to every individual clip, video track 5 contains an overlaid border, I've even started adding some text for the credits. I asked lutragem nicely whether we could use her music and she accepted. And I downloaded some sound effects from freesound (it was me who got them because I have an account there).
