24/05/2010: intro is finally ready!

Joy! Shots 7 and 8 are ready, so the intro is ready!




A lot of stuff was done during the last 10 days:
  • 9 background drawings (1 background is eventually not used) 
  • 4 car drawings
    • And some custom drawing for scene 6 where the car door opens and one can see inside the car.
  • Redrawing and rigging Simon in Anime Studio (the Illustrator import is not working great, so I had to redraw) in a 1/4th and 3/4th look
  • Voices and sound recordings (eg. door that opens, knock on door, footsteps on wood, footsteps on concrete).
    • Most own sound recordings were processed in Soundbooth, like changing the pitch or removing high frequency sounds due to the soundcard/microphone.
    • Some sounds were found on the web: old car driving, old car stationary, car door that slams, sounds of night animals, ... 
  • Video recordings: candle, getting out of a car, knocking on a door, picking up a letter ,... Those video recordings were sometimes helpful to create animations :)
  • Animation of 8 shots: the animations consist mainly of camera manipulations and moving/scaling/skewing/... objects. Figures also have a skeleton that is animated by means of bone transformations.
    • In some shots I did also animate the blur and shadows. The blur animation gives the illusion that the camera has to focus, the shadow animations give the illusion that an object passes a light.
  • Compositing 8 shots: all compositing was done in After Effects.
    • In most shots I did mainly music and sound compositing, playing with the volume levels and so on.
    • In shot 3 some basic text animation was done. I know it could be a little bit more cool, but there is no time left to do cool stuff :)
    • In shot 5 some lens flare effect had to be used
    • In shot 8 I used a video of a candle and keyed out the background (by means of the keylight 1.2 plugin).
Okay, now I have three to four weeks left for finishing the game (still a lot of work to do), creating an outro and wrapping it all up in one nice DVD.
