project update - 2nd week of June
Heh, I purchased a paid lj account again because I got fed up with not being able to edit comments. :P Oh well, it has some other benefits besides that silly little thing, expect some neat new user pics as soon as I think up some... I now have 35 slots instead of 6 after all. :)

I had a very fruitful progress meeting on Wednesday. We hope to finalize the dialogue in next week's session, record a temp track to roughly time the storyboard the week after and in 4-5 weeks time record it with the real voice cast. I've got till then to finish the moving storyboard, and make character sheets for Lizemijn to get into drawing and modelling the characters in a uniform way throughout the production. All and all a fruitful meeting and I feel like going forward again.
It was also nice that [info]zolphia could finally join us in the discussion since she's more or less involved since the beginning in building the story but she had never met Alex and Lizemijn up till last Wednesday. Hurray for shorter communication lines.

In other news, my new graphics card arrived in the mail yesterday and Alex is coming over in the afternoon to install it. Let's hope the problem is fixed this way instead of making it worse. (like a completely dead computer. ;)) I'm still planning to buy a new system somewhere next month, but I rather do that with a good running system in the mean time.

And to conclude this post a little appetizer. Here are some newly coloured (or rather, grey scaled ;)) storyboard images I've done the past couple of days, respectively out of scene 3 and 10.

I'm definitely becoming more and more curious about this project. Especially compared to other projects focused on the easter island thing. *nods* I like the 'interaction' I can feel between the little girl and the statues.

Not only that, I now also know a bit about Alexander's and Lizemijn's character and what they are like. And that helps in discussions as well.

About the pictures: my favourite one is actually the one with the hat, even though it shows very little. But somehow, the emotion that goes in that moment with putting-on-the-hat is there. I mean, it has the feeling I wanted it to have.
I'm less happy about the Chief standing in front of the people, he looks so calm. He should be bursting with energy.
I also disagree with the last picture. The Shaman looks scared, helpless. But he shouldn't see the Chief as a real threat, but more as an annoying nuisance, something he'll have to spend time dealing with, but nothing that could possibly hurt him. The Shaman should be overly confident. So it's more a "verbeten, geirreteerde" feeling that I would expect, though naturally he wouldn't show too much of that in public.

hmm... I can see where you coming from but you should see these drawings in context, that makes quite a difference.

Hey, my comments are by no means the Word of God.
It's just a feeling I had, and I wasn't very anti nor angry about it.
I mean, I don't want to give you the impression that it's bad, far from it. I do like it, but what I have a tendency to nitpick.

*sigh*
I'm wondering if I should spend some more time on the script tomorrow. I wonder if it will be useful or not.

No, I wasn't feeling bad or insulted or anything of the sort. I was just thinking that your reaction might differ if you saw these in context. Text based communication remains tricky.

Could you look at the new dialog bits I'm writing at the moment for scene 10, that would be useful, since I have no idea what I'm doing there expect that I just have to write something to give the idea. I hope to finish it before lunch, just see if you have a moment to suggest some improvements. :)

Which is why I was extra-careful in my previous comment.

I actually have a whole afternoon of free time today (woohoo!), so just throw what you got my way.
