Topic: TOY: The Kennedy Conspiracy (Update Thread)

Description
For ToY I decided to make a video about the assassination of John F. Kennedy.  I chose this idea because nobody really knows what happened and that means I can pick and choose what I want in my movie. I have spent a lot of time researching the facts and the fiction of the story so my script is not only accurate but also very interesting.  In this movie I will be focusing on the storyline instead of the quality yet I have been practicing my animation and hope to make this my best video yet. The video will be from the point of view of the assassin and his bosses.

I like everything except the police station. I dunno, the stripes aren't giving the "police vibe" to me. But that could just be me.
I especially like the hallway's lighting. It should be a pain to animate in though...

Yes but i made the roof so it can slide off and slide on and always end up in the same place.


Edit:The Police Station Will have A big "Police" sign on the bigger wall.

Sounds Cool. I'd be interested in Voice Acting if you post a Casting Call

Same, I'm also interested in voicing a part.

Woah, the hallway shots are really cool. Maybe turn down the white balance or toy around with the color correction to make it look a bit more cold feeling or more natural though.

I think you should add some windows to your buildings. They look really plain to me with just a door and nothing else. The "inside sets" are great.

The theater is going to have other brick-film posters hung up on the front wall and the police station will have a big police sign.

Wow, I really do like the hallway set. The police station is fine with me. I only have a problem with the meeting room. It looks a lot more like a place that 3 jedi would sit and talk about battle strategy than just some assassins and thugs. I dunno, it kinda gives me a Star Wars feeling. But that might just be me.

Yeah, it looks a bit cramped, maybe if you made more room.
Also, I love what you did with the roof for the hallway. Mind if I use that sometime? mini/smile

Well, I made a Limo for practice some time ago and you can see it here:

My tips? make it sleeker, and no exposed engine, that is only good for kooky sports cars.

Don't be afraid to use reference pictures. The police station could use some work, something like this would look a lot better.

Very nice. It is a major improvement over the first design. You're still going to add a police sign, right? That would sell with that sign.

Yes but where should I add it?

Either the roof or the right-side wall on the first picture (the wall opposite of the wanted poster).

Ok I'll probably put it on the right wall! Should I use Decals or Paper?
