I wasn’t happy with what I had before. Initially I had something much more grand that my previous interior shots so I did it up in this version: I’m not sure about timing; I’m thinking that I’ll start to play around with timing of these shots in Adobe After FX considering it’s a little faster than editing keys in Maya. I find the timing of camera moves, and the way the ease in and out is a delicate matter.
I also try my best to guid the viewers eye from one element to another in a moving shot. I’ve done a few where there’s “white space” or just nothing really to rest your eyes on, and the shot failed miserably. Now I think in terms of hotspots for the eye, and I place elements of interest strategically throughout.
3D really gives you an advantage in that regard. There’s no cost to “dress” the scene… just the time you are willing to put in. So I really take advantage of that and place elements that we’ll know have to be there months before we start principle photography.
On another note, I also did the website for Tapt: http://tapt-online.com. This is a comic strip that follows the mis-adventures of our small film crew. It’s not an attemtp at a realistic depiction but more of a crazed alternate-reality version.
And by alternate-reality, I mean it’s ALL true. =P
