503 - Tutor Feedback

 Tutor Treatment Feedback:

• Sound design needs to be very strong

• Need to decide a director - should be one person

• There’s going to be a lot of creative compromise. Sometimes you’ll need to step back and allow the director to make the final decision.

• Make some moodboards ASAP

• Include subtle elements in BG to foreshadow the twist so that the audience understands it

• The more the short goes on, the more distorted the perspective gets maybe? (on 3D, change focal length of camera to get that effect)

• Pay attention to how we can achieve that flip from normal girl to psychotic 

• Think about workflow as we’ll be on different animating programs

• Do an animation test

• Keeping consistency is important in group work, different style will make it look out of place

• Do character sheets

• Make sure everyone can draw the characters

• Brush size needs to be the same

• Colour needs to be consistent - hex numbers

This is the feedback we got from discussing our idea with Mike.

He found our idea very clear and straightforward, which is good as it settles our fears of making it too convoluted. The main takeaways from it were:

• Make sure we show the flip from normal girl to psychotic girl effectively
• Choose a director to help with coordination and have a more cohesive film
• Figure out how exactly we're going to work as a team, making sure our animation is consistent above all

My next steps are to:

• Discuss this with the Kahenya in a group call
• Decide on a director
• Go through the idea and finalise all the points such as locations, who the girl is killing and what the girl is doing throughout the film
• Create a next steps section and go through it with the group
• Delegate the tasks to sort out who's doing what and when
• Make a production schedule
