sound effects

sound effect sourcing is going really well and ben has shown me a website called media converter and with this site you can use youtube videos and convert them into a wav, audio file. so in other words you can rip the sound straight from videos, this is highly useful if you can find youtube videos with good sound looooool.
so here is the shot of the plane low flying and gunning heavy on the after effects, only issue is that the dirt pops are a little bit odd but at the same time they pop so quick that the smokiness is not so much of an issue.







some flight reference looking at the movement and stability. the drift and banking is very important

so here we see some basic shots in the beginning stages youtube has made the video really scratchy and hard to see the actual effects but it serves a purpose along side the story board. so the initial plane establishing shots are in effect too disjointed and the planes are so diffused by motion blur that they are hardly registerable. so the first three shots are to be re-rendered as one continuous shot and edited into the final clip. the later shots need more work as far as the planes comming over the hill need to be more prominent and more visible and the shadow shot needs the planes to move faster and keep in time with the rest of the footage, as errors like these can cause havoc to the continuity of the piece.

rough storyboard


so here is the rough story board of my new intention, the reason why it is in rough is due to my rather late changes it is impracticle to make a flashy storyboard, but as this serves its purpose for me and me only then i am happy to keep myself attuned to this rough version. some shots may change though as it all comes down to the edit at the end

schedule


so the schedule is up and running and up to date, and i will be keeping a close eye on it.
although whilst using the software, microsoft project i have encountered irregularities and strange goings on, as i have set tasks and subtasks and also dependencies and due to this the program will not allow me to alter the projects allotted time frame as such in the middle of the project there is ahuge void with several aspects such as animating stuck on a longjevity of 1 day this ofcourse is un obtainable and stupid and the only way i can see of rectifying this problem is to starto from scratcho.
