Re: Holiday Montage Collaboration - No deadline, we'll play it by ear

Moyrust: It is preferable to have the sock piece in the shot, but it is not mandatory.  So no, you don't need to have the piece in the shot.  With enough other people including it in their shots, we get the idea of it being a sock from the video as a whole.  Refer back to the Gifts for Greta video that Jay sent me.  Any of those reactions (aside from the last one) is an example of what I want to see in terms of character reaction and dialog.  The last shot (0:59) from the CN's point of view (with the gift wrappings being torn open) is the shot I want everyone to try to do.  I'll cover the gift wrap tearing for anyone who couldn't to it on set.  And of course, depending on how it is edited, some of you don't need to have giftwrapping tearing in your shots.

T.G-Tom: Welcome aboard.

BG: I want final shots done by December 4.  If you're one of those that needs to show me you meet the minimum animation standards, I need that ASAP or your footage (if it doesn't meet the standard) might get rejected.

Yes, I'll be editing.

Re: Holiday Montage Collaboration - No deadline, we'll play it by ear

Update on the music: Looks like Kevin MacLeod has a busy schedule so I'm narrowing down to the 3 I came across.  Again, if you guys got a song/music suggestion or can compose, let me know before I settle on the pre-made tracks.

Re: Holiday Montage Collaboration - No deadline, we'll play it by ear

Just noticed your edit.

Okay, so I'm going with Enter the Party.  It'll be trimmed down to around 2min 30 secs but that's the track if you guys want to use it as a reference in the animation.

Again, I need to know what you guys have planned and if you haven't decided yet, choose one of the major gift giving events.

Also, if you submit your clip to me, also include your company logo.

Re: Holiday Montage Collaboration - No deadline, we'll play it by ear

If I need to give a logo also it might take an extra few days (I'll be able to make the December 4th deadline though), because I think it's going to spend a long time on my logo.

Re: Holiday Montage Collaboration - No deadline, we'll play it by ear

That's fine.  Animation is the priority.

Re: Holiday Montage Collaboration - No deadline, we'll play it by ear

Could you pick me a theme, maybe one with a bit of a challenge?

Re: Holiday Montage Collaboration - No deadline, we'll play it by ear

If you want a challenge, get enough women to voice a babyshower scene.  Otherwise, do an office scene.

If you can avoid any noticeable flickering, you can join.  Refer to the first post for any scene suggestions if necessary.

Re: Holiday Montage Collaboration - No deadline, we'll play it by ear

I'd like to do a Valentine's Day scene, in which the gift sparks a break-up. It's not too long after Christmas, see?

Also, I purchased the sock piece and it arrived today. There's no going back now.

Re: Holiday Montage Collaboration - No deadline, we'll play it by ear

Indeed.  And feel free to do more than one scene.  Not saying that some of you will pull out at the last minute, but life intervenes sometimes and having back up footage from those who escape real world priorities would be great.  I'll be attempting to do filler scenes as well.

Valentines has been added to the scene list.

Re: Holiday Montage Collaboration - No deadline, we'll play it by ear

I think I'll do Easter, as long as it doesn't seem too odd to get a sock in your Easter egg basket.

Re: Holiday Montage Collaboration - No deadline, we'll play it by ear

Double post! Do we have to do the sequences in the exact order that you said for the one scene, or can we do what we want for what takes place in the scene or the camera angles and such?

Re: Holiday Montage Collaboration - No deadline, we'll play it by ear

The opening and closing sequence should be in that order.  Everyone else is independent and up to you.  I'll be the one organizing them for the year-round order.

For whoever volunteers to do the opening and closing sequence, the order matters.

Re: Holiday Montage Collaboration - No deadline, we'll play it by ear

I'd like to do the Sorry Scene. I would have done the baby shower, but my mum feels a bit embarrassed.
Also If I can do the scene, must it contain dialogue?

Re: Holiday Montage Collaboration - No deadline, we'll play it by ear

Man receives gifts and has an attitude about the giver's stinginess
I got a pretty good idea for this one, for the perspectives and all.
I'll finish this on time.

I just PMed Lech about a new scene I want to do.

Re: Holiday Montage Collaboration - No deadline, we'll play it by ear

Thanks guys. I'll update the list.

Re: Holiday Montage Collaboration - No deadline, we'll play it by ear

Two weeks to go, hope to see something from you guys.

Also, do not compress your videos.  Send me the uncompressed video.  You can compress the file into a .Rar and use HJsplit if you need to split it up.
