Finalizing the plan

This week was about getting organized for the team.  We are have been finalizing all of the storyboards from a general concept storyboard to the actual shots we want to get in the final film.  We have also gotten our final list of equipment approved and hope to get everything in the coming weeks.  Locations wise we are still using Pat’s mom’s office but are scouting some other backup locations as well.  We are looking at office buildings around the ETC and also some space at the main CMU campus.

On the tech side of things we have been playing with Facebook some more.  We have been testing out the photo manipulations on compositing facebook photos into a film shot.  We have also been playing with compositing and Alex was able to successfully edit different shots together to make one.  So for example, a shot starts with Frank entering a door and shouting Hey!  The camera then pans over to Frank sitting in his chair asking, “What?”  It looks really awesome.   This shows that we can use one actor to play the various suits.

We will be preparing for our quarters presentation to the faculty to show them what we have planned for the rest of the semester.  They will also give us valuable insight and feedback on how to refine our ideas.  We will be creating a short film to show how we can use Facebook in videos to show the faculty during quarters and will also make this available to Anti-Flag.
