Finally, I have completed all of the filming for the first scene. It feels good to have something actually "done." I got my iStopMotion demo renewed and got the overhead helicopter scenes filmed. I also went through iMovie and rearranged all the clips and audio that I sort of had just strewn around and now all of the clips are in order. I'm still waiting for Lechnology to get back with me on the one shot he was going to darken in After Effects for me, but besides that I think my filming for the first scene is complete.
However, there is one scene I have listed in the script that I haven't filmed yet for this scene, but I'm considering leaving it out. It entails having some sort of overhead tracking shot of the helicopter (which technically only has an inside) and the police car below on the road and the helicopter flying off to the side. Of course this would look really cool if I could pull it off, but I'm not sure I could with my current software capabilities. I'd most likely have to hook up the helicopter with some sort of wire and try to mask it out, but alas I don't have any programs that can do that. It would also require a rather large set, and I am pretty limited on pieces, so again it may prove difficult to accomplish. Plus, it's not a completely necessary shot to understand the film, so I might just leave it out.
Tomorrow I'll start working on the set for Scene 3 (I counted Scene 2 as the opening titles), which is the smoker jail. I'll finally get to animate someone's lines besides my own voice. Lord_Of_The_LEGO is playing the part of the Jail Guard, so I'll be able to animate his character. I still have to order some stuff off of Bricklink, such as the Jail Guard's security guard torso and a few other minifig-related items if I can find them.
Oh yeah, I'm way behind schedule because of all of my incidents with the iStopMotion demo stuff; I'm already supposed to be filming Scene 3. Oh well. I might be able to catch up.
