Film Poster- 2nd Draft

Looking towards something like this.

couple of updated screen shots

Grain and old film footage. Completed shots rendered like this.

Still shots

Some of these are missing the grain and 'old film scratch" overlay, moreso just to see when rendered what looks ok and what doesn't.

...ok, I'm cool

Ok, I'm alright now. The project isn't due tomorrow, just 70%. I think I've done that so I've had my panic attack and moved on. Thank Joe Quesada, John Romita Jr and the rest of The Marvel crew for distracting me long enough to calm down. This isn't to say I'm not still pissed and that the group still needs to keep soldiering on, but at least we're getting somewhere.

I got taxes to do, and editing/compositing/rendering to do tonite and there's no gurantees it's all going to be there but we'll see.

Lost

Well, I thought I'd better update the blog. Basically my shots are done, I'm just tidying up what's missing from some, like grass etc. But truthfully, Im at a loss as to whether the film will be done because I have only a handful of usuable shots from the group and have no idea what to expect before final film review thursday. Utimatley, I get the blame on assessment day despite the stupid amount of work I've done to get this far.
Basically, Im also at a loss as to what to do now. Ideally, I would have liked the shots a week or 2 ago to start adding backgrounds, animating clouds/compositing all then edit and add the music track. Then I allowed to get the shots as late as yesterday, giving me 1-2 days to then composite/assemble bgs and edit. But since that didn't happen. Im left to render my shots out, not knowing exactly what to do with them. I can't tell a story with them alone, and even though I insisted on knowing beforehand of what realistically can and can't be achieved by the date so I had time to readjust, create extra drawings for stills if needed etc. I now have no time to do that, and really don't know what to ssay or hand in on thursday. I dont even think the half a day Im going to have tomorrow with the shots from the others will be enough time to do anything with them plus my own rendering/editing.

So that's it. I have outside work due today which I'm behind on, and despite the idea of extention, I have work coming up for the next 4 days after thursday so I dont know what to do. I kind of wish I had planned for a smaller film and gone solo or had jumped onboard and gone with someone else's idea and would have saved time, sleep and stress, plus all the sacrifies I took this year. Ultimatley, I dedicated this film to my pop, and I'm embarrassed it won't be what I initially intended it to be. maybe I'll just sling a trailer together, and complete the film in my own time. Anyways, gotta go.

Grain test 2

Ok, you can't tell that this is in 1920 x 1080 res, cause this is Youtube but, I added the extra missing elements in the bg and the black border, which luckily came with the old grain overlay. Anyways...

Update Colour code

#717171 is the grey colour for Norton's Jow/crest.
I realised the colour I listed below was the older colour.

Also, I couldn't save the action to email in regard to the linework, all I basically do is make sure that the levels make the lines black and the whites white to rip the white out of the picture. Another way is that I just crank the brightness/contrast up to 100%. Play it by ear. Basically, I'm trying to keep the linework black and roughish.

Gotta run.
