Sorry I haven't updated the blog in a few days, but here is a roundup of the last few days' activity:
I continued on Scene 3 on Tuesday with another small shot where That Darn Smoker breaks the gas line in his jail cell. I filmed it out of sequence because it's the same set as the one I did on Monday. I was having a little bit of trouble with the noise that seems to show up in black areas with the Quickcam. I've tried experimenting as much as possible with the various brightness and contrast settings, but the blue noise still shows up slightly. But when I export it into my actual That Darn Smoker iMovie project, the noise seems to lessen.
Tonight I filmed the shot before the aforementioned one where the Jail Guard (played by Lord_Of_The_LEGO) walks in and says, "Roll call!" So yeah. Now I have 2:20 of footage done for the entire thing, with another 20 minutes to go. Progress is slow but steady. The noise wasn't a problem on this one. I got some cool fluorescent/incandescent mixed lighting effects going on. I was also able to fashion a semi-realistic LEGO candle out of half of a standard white pole cut in half with an Exacto knife*. I'm going to have Lechnology do the special effects along with the big explosion that comes a little later in the scene. Tomorrow I'll probably get around to doing a couple more shots, hopefully having Scene 3 complete by the end of this weekend or some time next week at the latest.
(*I'm not one of those LEGO "purists" who doesn't do anything like cutting bricks in half and stuff. Sorry.)
