Resumes, Reels, and Rhetoric

Added a shot to my launch sequence and added some stuff to sharpen the look of my egg.

Thar be my resumé

This is a compilation reel from a production outfit and contains footage from multiple cinematographers. This reel even has its own director credited. All of the images are very pretty, they must have top of the line camera. However, most of their footage is exterior shots set on timelapse arms or actuators or shots from helicopters. These are people you hire to make video. They aren't creating their own narratives. They are cinematographers.




This is a reel for Camille Marotte, "director.motion designer" This is a cool reel which included footage, effects, and footage with effects. However It was still very image based. I don't think she can call it a "director's reel" if we don't see or experience any of the performances she has directed. But the reel looks very nice.




This is a very nice reel from an effects company. So pretty innovative stuff shown in here. Still hunting for a "director reel" though




This is a really cool animation reel. Really makes me want to rethink and find out where my "money" shots will be. There needs to be a fantastic aspect about them (amount, speed, color, music, etc...)




Here is a great directors reel. And all it took was to hear his actors talking. How he got them to share their words is how the direct sought to gain an emotional response. It works. I like it.

Comps for the 4/4

 A few shot ideas have come up as I've been working on these, and a few of them are of course going to be reused as more cutting occurs. I have a new Earth to place in existing shots. There are some color choices to experiment with. I think with the nature of the project I've embarked on there are quite a few more shots that will have to be created as I go. The practical elements I've used for piece have worked out so far and things seems to be aesthetically working together. That Lunar rocket may need to be redone with smaller strokes after I see it juxtaposed next to the existing lunar lander. I think I'm going to create a shot of the blast off in the sky as well, its a pretty cool effect that I think I could get some more use out of. People love fire and propulsion. I was almost reconsidering the paint splatter stuff for the dark side of the moon but as I was placing it I started to like it again. Im wondering if my footage of "the earth that could be" should be animation type stuff or if I should get some actual footage of our real world since we are in the future compared to when this takes place...

Fodder for the Elements

 

Third Water Ball from the Sun

 Scanned a new space background. Now it can be its own layer

 

Inside of the Lunar Lander

 

Whats a big blue planet without land to own?

 

Took a still of the galaxy, now I'll trim at and spin it in the egg.

 

This gold texture was just something I shot, but I think I can use it for the texture of the glass egg, and I can use the gold texture for something else.

 

Here is the Moon Rocket/Module that'll be in the Space Shuttle

 

Here's my hen with some finer line work.

 

Made some puff clouds as well. 

 

Aaand I have my torch effect ready for blastoff.

Launches, Eggs, and Hens

First is my launch site. I'm liking the textures but may play more with color/color replacement to make it look not so Crayola-y

Here is my hen. She probably won't move except for a tilt of the head or maybe she shifts her weight to better settle into the nest. Im considering putting the ducks in full color.

Here is an initial go at my space egg. I want to add more lighting and shading to create more of a 3-dimensional illusion on the inside of it. And I need to figure out how to mask my particle party.

"Astronaut and Duck"

This story is about an Astronaut.

The Astronaut wants to investigate and discover the source of a signal from the moon.

Improper funding and technological hinderances prevent the Astronauts task from beings easily executed.

The Astronaut not only needs to find the source of the signal but he needs a win for himself. This discovery will also reestablish the necessity for future funding of the NASA program.

Inferior equipment prevents him from swiftly completing his task, then it causes him to tumble into his lunar lander and it starts to roll away from him. Then a duck appears which briefly halts his progress. When the duck helps him to return to his drill he sees that its results were inconclusive. The duck then appears to want to communicate with him, this is a trying task. Then he has to leave the moon and the duck, this proves emotionally difficult.

Our Astronauts faulty equipment and an inherent inelegance are the Astronauts first interruptions from his mission.

Our first turning point is during a big tumble when the Astronaut happens upon a duck on the moon.

The two then have to get the lunar lander and themselves back from the dark side of the moon.

Once back from the dark side the Astronaut then has to figure out what the duck is trying to tell him pertaining to his drill/mission.

Having found the goal of the mission, the Astronaut is hesitant to leave the duck out on the moon.
