You're back.
How nice to see you!
How was your holiday?
W-what's that? You didn't have one?
Oh you DID have a holiday but it didn't feel like it at all due to the copious amount of work?
Dang!
I wonder what that's like..............
So this week, we showed our animatics to some of our classmates, Zhi Fang and Bervyn, and they said that they did not understand what the message was. Zhi Fang knew what our story was about before they saw the animatic so she said that at the start of the animatic, what we were trying to show was clear but the second part of the animatic did not continue with the same message. So there was no focus. Bervyn did not know anything about our story prior to this and he said the same thing. All of us also agreed that we should try to focus more on one theme, which is either the discrimination in the society or the love story between Stanley and Ting Ting. So we stuck to the same characters and environments but we played around with the character developments and background and the flow of the story. In the end we got like a new and improved version of UNDERNEATH and I sent a long email to Karen explaining all the changes and the reason behind it.
But after all that we went back to the old story as Jim commented that our new story wasn't really a story but just a series of events and it took out all of the excitement that the old version had. So we filmed the live action reference video like the old animatic which was fun.
Some other things i modelled, rendered and textured:
School starts next week and I am not ready....
