Since challengeuploader.jar is not available for download yet, I have decided to submit animatic in different way.
Below you can find a link to download video

Animatic v1

If you have problems downlading or the link doesn’t work, please let me know.
Thanks

I love the briefcase gun! And the shot where the grappling hook is fired into the building is gonna be pretty cool when finished. :smiley:

I feel the need to stress Destruct007’s point about the distance from the actor(s) to the green screen. The spill can be a killer. Two work lights on the screen do a nice job. Keylight in After Effects can pull a good key even out of marginal footage. Set the view to Screen Matte and play with the “Clip Black” and “Clip White” Settings. You’ll be amazed. If you don’t use AE, sorry to have bothered you. Not that it’s much but you can see the evolution of my no-budget green screen experience here…

Thanks lunar1369. I appreciaty your comment. I have purchased additional light to lit green screen. Also I have borrowed light reflecto from my brother, so I will have a bit of flexibility to play around with lights.
I want to have animatic 100% finished before I start shooting.
I was thinking of cuting few animatic shots shorter to give it more pace.
Also I will talk to my friend who is good with cinematography, perhaps he can give me some tips. I am hoping to borrow camera form him.
Meanwile I have started modeling London :slight_smile: and Chicago for aerial shots.
Exciting stuff, althought I need to get used to going to bed at 3 am and waking up at 7-8.

Thanks melkao. I am still working on animatic. If you have any tips or comments, I would appreciate that a lot.
Which shots are little confusing? Perhaps I could change camera angle or change those shots to make it more appealing to the audience.

the challenge up loader is fixed/back. I did what you did, a link outside, anyhoo, just fyi.

#27

Thanks man. I will upload something soon :slight_smile:

#28

Well…maybe couse the animatic is still very basic, and the animation is still raw…mybe is that…but for example when the character is at the edge of a bridge at 1:27 the is lookin an explosion…is not clrea that transition…but all that is maybe for being basic. And perhaps tos smooth the camera movements…

#29

Thanks melkao.
I agree that it is not very clear. On that one character is actualy at the edge of the building. That part of animatic is a sequence of random shots that doesnt have too much in common :slight_smile:
Its just different action shots not realy telling any story.
I think that bridge shot is too confusing, I might add something to support it

#30

Hey.

I was just working on the shot of London.
Above you can see the test frame.
I think I might add a bit of fog as it sometimes gets foggy in London.
Soon I should have that shot animated.

#31

Another update. This is the lamp that you can find at Westminster bridge in London.
I tried to make it as close to the real one as I could without going into extreme details.

#32

Today I have modeled pistol.
I will have closeup shot of it in the trailer, although it is not in animatic.

Enjoy.

#33

Software: 3ds max,After Effects,Photoshop

This is the WIP of two shots I am working on.

Both shots are combination of 3d and camera projection.

For Chicago shot I will add lake Michigan in the background.
For London I will add car or cars on the bridge.

Perhaps a bit of fog… but I am not sure about it.

Please let me know what you think.

Looking really nice! I love the first shot. :smiley:

#35

Yeh! This is looks really great!:thumbsup:

#36

Well Well…that’s getting somewhere! Nice job there.
Besides, maybe you would like to tweak the camera movement in the 2nd shot. It feels too CG.

Keep them coming :thumbsup:

#37

Thanks guys.
Its motivating to hear a good words.
I am getting on with modeling etc.
Still plenty to do… but geting there :slight_smile:

#38

High quality work. I would add some fog in the London shot. That and more natural camera movement would make it feel more real. This is one I am keeping an eye on.

Cheers and God bless.

#39

That’s really cool. Nice work on these first shots. Maybe tone down the glow a touch, It’s blowing it out in spots. Keep up the good work though, It’s looking great.
