In this shot from COVID Dystopia, The hands animate as they flail and then sink below the surface. I like how this shot lines up with the sound effect in the music.
The woman just stays still but bobs up and down a bit on the water’s surface. It would be nice to fully animate the waves, but I don’t think I will go that far.
I am pleased with how the hand drawn splash animation turned out.
Since I went back through the whole film and took out the fast zoom transitions, there are a few glitches that I need to repair. I tried opening the Premiere Pro file this morning and got the threatening warning the the file is broken and can not be opened. I did manage to open it by going through the history of recent files however. I don’t know what that would work if the file is broken. I need to figure this out beg=fore I push forward. I have had too many instances where Adobe products cause permanent damage to a scene.
Today is actually the first day of the Cleveland International Film Festival. I am not flying up there until the end of the festival when my film COVID Dystopia will be shown during a late night screening. Ironically the festival chose to use the scene I am working on right now for the header to promote the film. I am hoping to finish refining that shot today.
