well... the spider mouse has already been done... so have transforming cars, bikes, trucks.. general vehicles.. so we're thinking of doing an inanimate object.. a webcam, a fork, a wooden spoon... Jordan has experience modeling mechanical objects/characters.
Whatever we do, i've decided i HAVE to have crab style legs on my character whatever it is. It's something i've never had the chance to make in previous projects :)
We learnt about compositing in After Effects and looked at some more possible shots we could do. Andy showed us about tracking using After Effects using a random piece of footage and a monkey face.. this was interesting but with the type of shot we're going for it wasn't going to work. We have to find another way...
The presentation for the idea is two weeks away, so we have to have our idea finalised. Both me and Jordan want to go for the element of surprise where we're not quite sure what it is that is supposed to be transforming, or we're not instantly aware of what it is that is supposed to be happening at all.. so with these elements in place, we see an idea forming... element of surprise, inanimate object.. we also wanted the typical opening shot we see in transformer clips of the sporty looking shiny car in the centre of the shot in an urban environment...
so we're upstairs in the common room.. Jordan throws out the idea, "we should do a transforming bin!" i think he was joking... but i thought it would be fun to do...
AND I CAN HAVE CRAB LEGS!!
