And another one in the can. :) I am on a roll. This one worked out ok. I am unhappy with the floor movement, but I like how the rest of it turned out. I photoshopped the rock. I held it with tweezers then cut them out in post. Not great work, but not bad. And evidence that it happened:
I spent 4 hours on that little bench. It was supposed to be a period looking chair. As a side note, that kind of chair isn't good to try to build with balsa wood. If I had the right tools I would have made it out of craft sticks. The legs kept breaking. Even after I started shooting. Most of the bench movement is actually the thing falling off it's broken leg. But it worked, and it matches the audio, kind of. I am going to have to break the audio up into sections and put them in to get the timing right. I used to do that with Final Cut when I had a Mac. AE doesn't do it, and neither does Windows Movie Maker. They both allow audio to be added, but only in one chunk and you can't put it into several tracks and move it around till it is exactly where you want it. I am currently researching options for that.
I also made a decision about the babel fish. there is no water in the bowl. It looks kind of cheesy that way, but it won't mush before I am done with it. And I won't knock it over and spill it on the paper floor.....again. Yeah...the big bulge in the middle is the result of me knocking over the fish bowl and spilling water all over it. I don't remember where I got the rock floor from, and I can't find it. I thought it was printable tiles for D&D, but I can't find the site.
Ah well. I have yet to decide if I want to work on this some more or call it a day. I feel accomplished. I have been working on this since 7am....again. I used to work 5:30am or 6am, so it will probably take me a while to be able to sleep in again. I have to make some final decisions about this last scene then I have some props to make still. Maybe I will do that tonight.
