The title sequence is in its final stage of production (YAY). After several reshoots the piece has the Motion artwork overlaid onto the video. This has been fun to do but also tiring, every aspect of this brief has been new to me and this includes creating the original video and Motion work. Prior to this brief I had never worked with video before and it took some getting use to as I always seem to think in "stills" rather than motion. The editing between some scenes has resulted in using the action to move to the next title rather than using a cut or fade. I never thought of using transitions like that and so the final piece will have been modified from the original storyboard, but I think it looks better for it.
The use of a soundboard is a fantastic idea, really forces you to think of what is happening in the scene as I am not using any music. This weekend I have collected together the sounds and this included terrorising the cat (in a nice way) to make him hiss and growl, which he did on queue and without much provication. He did get some special cat food afterwards as a reward for being so obliguing.
I do believe this is the longest I have ever worked on one project. Gone are the days at EY of getting it done as soon as possible as it was required "yesterday".
Contextual studies is coming along and I think I have tracked down some reasonable images/websites for the VRF and will have the Issues and Headstart completed on time.
