Story Re-worked by Jono and Rob

This week i was very grateful to learn that Rob and Jono spent some time with Gareth Munden on the animatic, and from his advice they started to think about shot composition and how the camera could tell the story rather then the character alone.

So after a long session with Gareth the two guys spent time thinking about what was essentil to not only the story, but what we personally wanted to take away from the film. The desire for a good visual piece made us change the "gag reel" style piece we had originally intended to produce. The guys realised that the new storyline and new shots needed to be supported with some "revised" environments that meant that the character and camera could be animated effectively and smoothly. So they spent some time editing the map layouts, specifically the interior of the temple etc.

The filmic language will play a massive part in the overall style of the film and so developing further and finalising camera shots will help me when it comes to animating as i know when and where the character will be in shot.... While animating the film i will look at the camera shots again and if need be rework them to their fullest potential (i.e incase the character is not fully in shot)
