BSA227 and BSA203: Southsure Emerging Artist Awards entries, 2 November, 2016

Parth and I are entering "With Her" into the Flix and that means another pass at making things look good.  We did what we could for our assessment today and Rachel had very good feedback.

Here's what I'd like to fix:
Rotoscoping
hand emerging: match each frame up to cover the hands
bride emerging: same thing.  big problems with the head and veil.  dress also has problems
close up 1:  get rid of waggling side hairs
Come, David:  keep cutting frames apart and redo "sneaky peach face" frame completely.
heart clutching:  Fix that sequence by putting one black layer behind it all to show where white bits around head are
Erika hands David the pen:  Her dress is too white.  bring down the overexposure to darken it up.
I need Parth to colour correct footage and export it in chunks so I can match frames up in After Effects.
For Flicks, I'd like a more simplified credit sequence at the end.  Our names and what we did on one frame each, not multiples, and "Special Thanks to" in same place each screen so it flows.

I'm fixing up the project I did for BSA203, like I always intended to, with stop motion bookends.
Ashes to Gold
stop-motion sequences to be shot:


 establishing the doll: minimum of 50 frames

 close up of the book: 50 frames

 close up of doll's face with chin tilting down: 62 frames

 book open and reading: 45 frames

book opening #1: 75 frames
 to this entry
 scanning the book : 50 frames that can create a loop

flipping page #2:75 frames to 
this entry:




flipping page #3: 45 frames from  Phantom Limbs


flipping page #4: 75 frames from Medusa entry to shut book

roughly 550 frames to shoot.  in garage with darkness, lights and tables?  Or at home where I can eat brownies when I want and natural light?  Remember?  slow, slow, movements, keep it steady and unrushed when changing poses.  

Use doll, and both sizes of book because the bigger book's pages might turn better.  Look downstairs to see if by some amazing coincidence, anything was saved from stop motion project last year.  Maybe use porcelain doll's fixed up hand?  At least get armature and recover with clay.  The bed?  Surely that's long gone.
