Palpable relief

I finally finished the dialogue scene. Four minutes at 15fps works out at 3600 frames. That's 3600 frames of two characters, both wearing helmets with the visors up. In the five days it took me to film all this nonsense, I only knocked one visor once. It took about ten minutes to get it back in the exact same position as before, but I only did it once.

Having done all that, I've decided I'm not happy with the last line in the scene, so I might change it and redo the final shot. Apart from that, there's a little over a minute left to shoot now. Unfortunately for me, about half of that is a complicated news report that's going to be quite tricky to pull off. Might have to wait until next weekend for that.

Humdrum progress report

Nothing much to report, really. Updates on this film aren't going to be as interesting as the last one. This is mainly because I've got four minutes of dialogue to shoot, and it all takes place in one room. This may not make for the most exciting film.

Anyway, I've spent the afternoon calculating frame counts and then shooting some more animation for the four minute dialogue scene. A bit of moving characters from A to B and some reaction shots. Tonight I'll either be attempting to compose a theme tune on my DS-10 or doing a quick Blender refresher so I can do a CGI establishing shot later.
