I am in the stage of testing the cameras of where I have placed them. I haven’t used camera sequence before but Luke had given me a little refresher and Mariana also broke it down for me and shared her screen to show me how it worked. This was really nice that she could share skills on what she knew when I could do other things like the branding. Once I understood how to make the first shot. The others were much more easier as I had wrapped my head around it.
Having worked on the scene now I have rearranged the shots I had previously decided on my plan. This was because I think it just worked out better in practice. I have listed the different shots to show my camera sequence.
Shot 1 – Frame 0 – 120
This is the entrance shot. I had animated walking onto the stage all the way to the decks. However due to his little legs, it takes a very long time which is tedious and not as important. So I have included just the beginning of the walk cycle just to inform viewers that stitch as now entered the stage.
Shot 2 – Frame 120 – 150
This is to set the scene of the viewers who are watching the set from the front of the stage. I have made this shot stationary.
Shot 3 – Frame 151 – 250
This shot pans across the booth on a circle motion path as Stitch speaks. I looked online for recordings of Stitch speaking as I think it was a nice way for his set to begin as there isn’t much dancing through out.
Shot 4 – Frame 251 – 300
Shot from the back of the crowd
Shot 5 – Frame 301 – 482.
Pan of Stitch starting to play music and bopping his head. Similar to shot 3.
Shot 7 – Frame 482 – 640
Crane pan of the crowd from the back to the left front of the stage.
Shot 8 – Frame 641 – 1006
Zoom of shot 5 towards the DJ
Shot 9 – Frame 1007 – 1263
Crane birds eye-view from back of crowd to the looking down on top of stitch
Shot 10 – Frame 1264 – 1530
Stationary close up to stitches face. It was initially from frame 1264 – 2300 but the shot was too long and felt a bit boring. Also this would have been longer than any other shot I had done through out so seemed disjointed.
Shot 11 – 1531 – 1800
Same as shot 4. This was to break up the shot before which worked well.
Shot 12 – Frame 1801 – 2139
Back to the stationary close up from shot 11.
Shot 13 – Frame 2140 – 2300
Close up of the decks and stitches hand movements. (inspired from DJ Honey Dijon
Shot 14 – Frame 2301 – 2550
Crowd shot, same as shot 2.
Shot 15 – Frame 2551 – 2810
New shot from behind stitches head looking out to the crowd while he fist punches sky.
