At last, the final sequence is meeting my quality standards. I'm very happy to achieved it the first time.
- 77 pictures
- 3 seconds of video on 1's (24 frames per seconds)
- 2 sessions of shooting on two different days
- 6 hours of work animating that
Everything goes as expected (hopefully). As i thought, animating a big puppet is way easier than animating a small one.
In order to simulate the lightning coming from the machine gun, i worked with three different lightning setups.
2 lights
1 light
No light
Repeating these 3 lightning setups did a good job.
Here's my lighning setup. The light no.1 is a LED desk lamp with foil on it to reduce the light that come out of it. The light no.2 is a little and single LED light.
As an awared animator, i taped down the camera's tripod and the electric cables that were on my way.
Here are some pictures that shows how small is my shooting room.
The tied-downs also worked perfectly.
Oh i almost forgot, the sequence...
