Production:

This week work continued on The Race.  Rachel returned from conference and has been working hard to complete the character animation for the remaining scenes. The motion graphics have been designed and are in the process of being integrated with the scenes. The environment and effects are coming along nicely as well. We have also been meeting with two students who will be developing our music and sound effects for the piece.

And… We have names for the characters!

Pre-Production

On Sunday our team worked with students from the school of drama to film a live action run through of the storyboard. This was useful to see the actors expressions and gestures in the story, and to help explore camera angles. Based off this footage, we will be refining the camera blocking on the storyboards. Then we will re-shoot again to get a more complete version of the animatic. Below are some stills from the actors reference footage.
