Scene 3 playblast

(see submission folder for playblast)

Now scene 3 was quite tricky to figure out despite having reference material. Due to the fact I was being cautious of camera angles I had to confine the movements for each character to keep them in frame and because my storyboard was just one frame with an explanation that the shots alternated between each characters over the shoulder I had to play the angles by ear. I also chose not to include the door actually opening in shot to be a bit more efficient and add the audio in post to give the effect. and to hold on to that intention of efficiency without detracting from the aesthetic or effect.

 My gripe with this scene is the way Jon reaches out after Sandra. He looks like he is waving goodbye rather than gesturing her not to go. I would definitely direct this scene differently to add slightly different movements to make it a bit less dull as opposed to just two characters waving their arms around as they speak. I could have had them acting out some survival activities such as trying to light a fire for example. but these are all lessons that I will take with me on my road to animator success.
