Speaking with Jem

While speaking with Jem on friday it came clear to me that being a visual effects student, were not asked to make a convincing screen play for these films. They can simply be focused on what input your putting in too a piece of work.

When i brought up the situation with Ken from the previous day Jem advised me that if i had 5-6 zombies in full prosthetic and up the standards he think i can pull off showing the videos ive shown him on tutorials im learning from he told me i could pull off a first for this module.

Benefit of doing 5-6 zombies is that i can green screen them in different sceneries aslong as i mark off the height on a stationary tripod. Measuring the distance from the floor to the camera and from the camera to the main focal feature in a scene.

I didnt even think of doing it this way i was going to ask the models to come 3 hours early to shoot so i can apply prosthetics directly to skin, blend, colour and give them a basics overview of what id like them to portray and how i want them to move and moan.

One thing i wanted to do was get a girl with long hair, kind of an indie look purchase contact lenses for her and have her look at the camera dead on as if its glass or a camera grab the camera and drop it on the floor (SAFELY NOT DAMAGING THE CAMERA) and focus on a pool of blood dribbling out of her mouth from the fall... while the camera adjusts focus from the 'indie girl' in foreground to the other zombies in background.
