Simon has now taken over from Grigsbys role lighting the BASE_SHOT, a shot which is seen in more than a third of the film and so is of great importance. He has made a blinding start and with a little supervision from Grigs and countless changes requested my myself has managed to almost get it looking perfect. Below is the latest development...
It's 85% there now. Ed's skin still needs a little work because at the moment he seems to be glowing, this can be achieved by playing around with the inner colour of the ramp. The pillow needs adjusting so it has a few more creases, a lighter shadow at the base and less intensity on the right hand side. Any other changes can be made in post, meaning Simon can then finally start importing animation and rendering it!
Our second year Tom has delivered the goods again this week with shot 21 - the pump breakdown. This was an especially easy shot in which Ed simply had to move his head ever so slightly whilst looking up at the pump. The reason for this being that the depth of field focus changes so the audience won't be paying any attention to the little fellow. Well played Ritchie...
Hopefully Tom can animate a further 3 or 4 shots for us before the end of the term meaning an extra bit of weight off me and Alecs shoulders.
Alec finished the long awaited shot 22 on friday with great pleasure, although you wouldnt think it with the amount of rage that occured soon after. He has since been working on the 'Ding' shot and today completed the POV shot (excluding Jed). I believe he still needs to complete a further two shots this, as do I.
I have been working on the mirror shot since Friday, a scene in which Jed walks past a reflection of Ed screaming, stops, returns to examine it, but simply adjusts his name badge instead - hahaha the crowd go wild. It used to be funny, I'm sick of it now. Anywho its been a nightmare trying to position the two cameras correctly for this shot as we intend to composite 4 layers - the mirror/room, Jed, Jeds reflection, and Ed's reflection. I have almost finished both views, tommorow lunch time is my deadline...
How the scene should look mirrored.
I also completed shot 37 this weekend/this morning, a close up of Jeds bum making contact with the end of the bed...
One last thing - the pump shot and isolation shot are rendering at the moment, so fingers crossed me and Simon can get the trailer together by thursday for Rave Live.
