Minutes of today's grp meeting for episode 5
main purpose: come out with a concept for episode 5 since the previous one was rejected
main idea: follow the damn script, every single word
- shot of cartoon earth spinning happily - this is the 1970's, rays coming from sun and bouncing off ozone layers, some penetrating through earth
- show ozone hole on south pole, and text "1970" on top left or right hand corner, whatever that suits the compositor's mood during time of compositing
- "gas top-up style" - 1970 changes to 1990, the typical fuel meter type. get what I mean? no? too bad. =)
meanwhile, show time lapse - earth spinning fast like nobody's business - blur it so it doesn't look so cool and 3D *ahem*
- a clock to replace the earth - but the clock's numbers changed to years.. so the clock ticks from 1970 to 1990... again, get what I mean? no? too bad then
- while the time lapse is happening, the ozone layer gets twice as big until at the end of time lapse, the Europe region on the earth flashes - as if fuel tank is full
(get the idea of the entire fuel refilling process thingie? no? too bad)
- and basically we cut there
Again, the main idea is to just follow the script - like what Alan said - as long as the message is clear, our job is done - regardless of how complex the animation is. So let's get it done and over with guys.
Uhh just to sidetrack a little bit because it's been on my mind for quite some time..
umm... can we all please try to be on time? I know we have a lot of other committments to make and all of us have a life and we're so damn busy outside and yadi yadi ya. But can we please be fair to those who come on time? It's not fair for them to be there on time and then waiting at least 2 hours before the whole group turns up. Get what I mean? Aiyah, sian la, but come on leh. Lets just corporate and respect and appreciate each other's punctuality alright?
Again, get what I mean? No? Too bad then.
Out.
