Hi, Its been a few days and I’m back at work with Edit 4 SEQ 5 (aka Scene 5). This is a long one to work out all the visual effects and etc. Today I am focusing on getting as much of this edit and the whole edit done as quickly and as well as possible as my deadline is Friday 30 October 2015 along with trailer release. This is a really tight deadline and looks impossible, but Im a filmmaker with a lot of belief in Law of Attraction, so it can be done.
Firstly I am focusing on Shot 12 (before i referred to shot no as mini seq …). Here I am adding in an effect to the character’s eye’s – the villain’s eyes. This means a lot of key framing and visual effects fun. Well for me I just stick TV on with most haunted on the free view box and semi watch it while i work; it actually makes me work seemingly faster and keeps me sane. I Had a few problems with the key framing and movement of this add on effect but on second attempt it work better than planned.
Next I moved onto shots 13, 14,15 16 and finally 17. These (barre 14) were all just light add ons and ufo lights. Shot 14 was another eye effect key framing sequence. All the shots were tiny so they took way less time than i expected so I sped through them all.
Finally for this scene / sequence, I got it all to the render Que. and wait for render. I did scroll through to look over quickly. I reviewed footage and realised a shot where I missed an eye effect and key frame session in an earlier edit of this scene as I hadn’t completely decided to go ahead with it 100%.
I altered what I needed to and re-rendered it.
Thanks, come back tomorrow for more Behind the scenes talk etc.
