Week 16 Post Production

Sunday: Today was the day of the shoot but I couldn't make it due to track maintenance. I practiced with the old tree while I was waiting for the group to upload the new shots on our Dropbox. I got the shots and we talked though our group chat and we decided to do some re-shoots for some shots on Monday. I told them that Andrews car will be full again and we decided that I can stay behind to practice some animation since I wont be useful there.

Monday: The group excluding myself went to Eds to finish off the final shots. I did some animation on the old tree before I get the new re-textured and re-rigged version of it. 
 
Tuesday: We looked at the footage today and saw that some shots deviated from the storyboard. We showed one of our teachers today and we given his recommendation on what to do next. We were told to keep the story simple and not make it complicated, have one more shot to actually show what our tree can do and to get it together for Thursday. He told us it doesnt need to be done by Thursday but just to show what we have so far so we can fix a few things up and be made sure not to stray from our goal.

Wednesday: We came in today to do the final re shoot of the film and get the final shot but we couldn't arrive to our filming location due to the owner being away until 3:30pm. I worked on the first animation scene of the film so we can implement it the footage and it looked great. It was time for us to leave so we headed off to Eds to film but by the time we got there we could only do one shot before we had to return the equipment and the sun was going down so we had an extremely different lighting compared to the other shots. We plan to come back tomorrow and finish it off so we can get the filming process done.

Thursday: Today we were given feedback on what he currently have in our film. We were told that most of our shots were blurry or too long. We were told to edit down our footage and film once again since we have the exact shots that we needed with the edit. We planned to film on Friday but some of us couldn't make it.

Friday: I was unable to make it Friday due to family issues but I kept in contact with the team. They were doing the edit so we know exactly what shots to take and what we need to do.

Saturday: We all turned up to Ed's house. Since we were all there already I decided to finish off the animation at Ed's while the rest of them filmed, I occasionally gave input to some shots. We were able to finish off both animation and shots today but we could only review a few shots due to Ed having to go to work but we had all the stuff we needed to finish off the film.
