Dynamic Jello Tutorial

Could this tutorial be used for Ms Goo?

We'd still have to fiddle with the numbers a little. For one thing, we might want to turn the resolution down. But as well, taking size into account, how stiff we'd want it to be and stuff... I'm assuming Ms. Goo wouldn't be quite as rigid as jello? As in, she wouldn't quite hold her shape in the same way....

Also, as of yet, I haven't a clue how to go about rigging this. To make her an actual character.....not just a piece of jello that falls on the floor and wibbles a little bit. Still looking into it.

CCTV Effect Overview and Resources

Artificial de-rezzing tutorial: (our effect wouldn't be as strong as this one but it's a good tutorial on how to actually make it)

CCTV footage tutorial:

There's a lot about the CCTV effect we'll want to adjust and decide already in preprod, such as frame rate (CCTV cameras have that signature blocky movement; but I don't think it's as strong on buses and it also wouldn't look very nice if it was), whether we have faint lines overlaid on top of the picture all the time or just when the footage goes wibbly, how often the footage goes wibbly (only when cutting or some general wibbliness here and there), graininess, and colour correcting.

The timestamp:
In London buses it seems to be on the bottom, with no black background:

Update on shoot details:
On Monday the 28th, Janine and Siobhan will take the car & Horny's costume to Manchester. The Underground team will take the train to Manchester, stopping at London to shoot the underground footage (probably on the Northern Line between Waterloo & Euston, stopping at Tottenham Court for the platform shoot).
We sleep at Janine's place.
Next morning we shoot at the bus depot from 9/10 till 2:30, take the train to London, wait till sundown to set out on the night shoot (at this point I'd say it's a two-stop tour, centered around Portland Street & Borough and maybe grabbing something near Waterloo since we'll be there anyways) and return to Bournemouth.

Platform choices

For the application form for the Underground we have to state which stations and lines we will be filming on.

I've do a quick search on the platforms and saved a few of my favourite so if you could have a look and say which you prefer, or if you know of any better suited stations.

Milena still needs to write the script but the scenes in which we actually require to film on the platform will be of people entering/leaving the tube and at least one of the creatures lurking.

 Baker Street

 Mornington Cresent

 Notting Hill Gate

 Temple

 Tottenham Court












I circled them on the map to see where they are in relation to the stations in which we will be entering and leaving London (Waterloo and Euston.)

Bus Filming

So we have a permanent record:
 
The bus company have confirmed Tuesday the 29th of October for us to film there.

It'll be a double decker bus, company Stagecoach.
We are only allowed to film inside the bus, which will be cordoned off outside in the rear yard at the Hyde Road Depot.

I need to double check the timings as he said something contradicting himself so I'll get back to you on that but it would approximately be 9/10-2:30. But they may be lenient with this with it being in the holidays.

But this means Milena can now confirm the London Underground shoot around this and then we'll be able to arrange transport.

Horny Maquette

A maquette of Horny's head. Only one of the horns is depicted; also they'll be slightly larger, it's just that the plasticine was too heavy.

I think me and Janine will be doing maquettes for most of the characters to help with the 3d visualisation.

London Location Scout

So me and Milena went on a Location Scout in London and took a few snaps of some streets that interested us. We tried to find a mixture of locations: some busy roads, others quiet. I'm going to draw up a map and maybe do a bit of 'Google mapping' to find other locations, we wanted to keep it fairly contained so travelling with the equipment is kept to a minimum.
