Spring Quarter Week 2

This is our first week working on the Blender film assignment for class. We brainstormed a lot of great concepts on Friday, but this week, had to narrow down our ideas based on feasibility with the time constraints and limitations of our group. Not all team members are in a position to be able to meet up for large-scale shoots due to health concerns amidst COVID, and many of us have still not been vaccinated. So, we went with an idea that utilizes a green screen, and lots of separated shots so that we can all shoot at least something to contribute to the final product without needing to all be together.

After nailing down our concept and writing our treatment all together, I put together the script and another teammate worked on the storyboard. We all plan to review our progress in class and take note of all the B-roll, sound effects, graphics, props, etc. that we will need for the film, as well as divide up the shots.

Moving forward I think the plan is to all shoot our scenes this week and edit them, so we’ll have all the individual “chunks” of the movie ready to be pieced together, so that we can dedicate the final week to keying out the greenscreen and adding our graphics and effects in After Effects.
