Feedback from Monday 2/15
Danielle Fillmore
Thanks again for all your help. I just noticed new uploads - thank you
Nathan. We'll have a peak at those soon. So here is the feedback we
pulled together for your portion of the project. I will put a After
Effects file and Quicktime video in your box Thursday evening, with
the measured out dimensions of the effects and the time frames of how
long they should last and end. This will be very similar to the block
shots, but more defined.
Tree/Bush Overall:
We really enjoyed the trees you sent to us, we like them so much that
we want more! :oD Just kidding... not really. We planted (no pun
intended) the trees in our After Effects file and goofed around with
setting their timing differently. We then decided that we really liked
the variety. So now we would love to utilize the usage of several. As
we all know how busy school is, we don't want to bog you down too
much. So what we were hoping is that we could use a few of the same
ones you provided us with, yet make slight modifications to each -
have them grow out differently; customize the way they sprout/grow.
Some could twist out, some could flicker only a little. Some are
elegant, some are raw, some are straight up and down, some are angled.
Also, keeping in mind that the leaves are to be money - too bad money
doesn't really grow on trees :o)
1: Bush (2-3)
• Small, low to the ground bush.
2: Small Tree/Bush
• Similar to the bush above, but more of a small tree. Thin and a foot
or 2 from the ground.
3: Large Tree (1-2)
• Large, big trunk, thick branches, and bigger money hanging/
sprouting from the branches.
4: Dirt/Sprouting Particles (for when the trees/bushes) sprout from
the ground. (maybe an animated cracked
ground for us to optionally use as well as the particles shooting
out).
• We hope to make the sprouting bushes and trees look less like they
are popping out of no where. Since these things will be popping out
pretty quick, debris is bound to fling out. We don’t need a lot of
particles, maybe have a few different options of exploding particles
for us to choose from. Think particles flying up in the air a bit,
then falling back down and chilling on the ground.
5: Portal
• Similar to the one you supplied, but smoother and more glass-like
and not as much agitation after the he enters through the wall - that
will be more well defined in the second block out. We would also like
the effect to carry out to his feet at he enters through the wall. We
also want to keep the portal white. We will be building the set in
After Effects, so all we need it just the rippling wall.
6: Thought Bubble
• The shape of this can look just like the one supplied to us. The
difference that we’re looking for is that each bubble in the thought
bubble to animate individually. Each little bubble that pops should
have a bounce/elastic effect as it animated in (from a center
registration point). Think size goes: 0 - %110, 110-100, 100-105,
105-100. We hope to have an easy to the animations to make them
smooth. Looking for that boingy bubble feel.
*Please let me know if you need anymore clarification on the project.
I'll be at school on Thursday if you want to meet up, if not just let
us know what your progresses is after Friday.
THANKS EVERYONE!
Nathan
them up at 9:00 AM so that you could get them before class. i think
that a meeting on thursday sounds good so that we can get on the same
page with the effects. So far we have the effects delt out as follows:
Chris- going to make the wall ripples.
Ruth- doing a great job with the trees
Nathan- I am working on the trees breaking through the ground.
As for the other three people, still no word. I'm going to call them
today because this is starting to get ridicules.
Have a good week guys.

I don't think I am going to be able to make it to school until 5:00
today - I will pop in room 111, hope to see you there :o) If not are
you around tomorrow?
