Plan for the last week and a half.

There is just about a week and a half left of this project before the deadline so I've had to extra organise my time as I have gotten a bit behind with the animating. I think I can get it done in time though if I stick to my schedule. I have the lights and equipment until next monday so I have planned to have the last few scenes done by then, and I'll add the sound in the evenings. This should hopefully give me a chance to clean up a couple of bits in the last two days or give me two days to finish things off if something goes wrong and things dont work to plan. 

Plan for last few scenes.

Friday 29th and Saturday 30th (doing this last as it should be pretty quick and isnt the most important scene)

0:00- 0:07 camera slowly moving through the forest

0:08- 0:10 (camera behind characters) camera catches up to Miller and his daughter as they walk through the gate. Miller walks holding his sore back, daughter walks slowly and sadly just behind him.

0:10- 0:15 Camera just behind the king, to the side. miller bows before the king, looks up and presents his daughter. (king takes girls arm and turns towards the castle?)

(scene done in one day easily)

0:15- 1:19 done.

Wednesday 27th (After PPP) and Thursday (after crit) if needed.

1:19- 1:23 girl with crown on her head, sweeping hair behind ear while looking down. 

1:23- 1:27 girl holding baby.. pacing back and forth? (tie down holes) rocking baby? 

1:27- 1:31 cut to shot of Rumpelstiltskin walking up through the gate, he bows and then holds out hands for the child. 

1:32- 1:34 shot of both. Girl pulls back, holding baby protectively as Rumpelstiltskin holds out hands for the child. zooming in on girl towards the end

1:35- 1:40 girl turns and collapses on her knees, holding the child close and crying.

1:40- 1:43 shot of both of them, girl is crying on the floor, rumpelstiltskin looks thoughtful.strokes chin? has an idea!

1:43- 1:47 Rumpelstiltskin holds up three fingers, girl wipes her tears away and looks hopeful. Rumpelstitlskin turns to leave. camera moves to focus on him.

1:48-1:50 Rumpelstiltskin leaves. Shot of his back walking through the gate.

1:50-1:54 Girl pacing back and forth in front of castle (use same tie down holes as before) 

(whole scene in one day? Day and a half?)

1:54-1:55 fade to black.

1:55- 2:08 done.

Thursday 28th (after Crit) and Friday 29th all day.

2:08- 2:12 Rumpelstiltskin walks two steps up to the girl and bows, with his head low. Last second he looks up with a cheeky grin.

2:12- 2:18 cut to shot of girls upper body. eyes half open, half smile on her face, one hand thoughtfully in the air as if she’s thinking.

2:19-2:22 cut to shot of both of them, girl leans forward, eyes closed , smile on her face. See Rumpelstiltskin from the back still crouched down with this head tilted up looking at her.

2:23- 2:29 cut to shot of rumpelsiltskins face change from grin to shocked as he gasps and falls backwards.  (all in 3 hours)

2:30- 2:32 cut to shot of back of girl with rumpelstiltskin in the background. Girl turns away and heads back into the castle. we can see rumpelstiltskin in the background not fully in focus as he gets to his feet and begins stomping around in anger.

2:33- 2:39 cut to a shot of rumpelstiltskin stomping around angrily. one foot gets stuck in the ground. 

2:39-2:42  slightly closer shot as he starts pulling at the leg stuck in the ground. 

2:43- 2:46 (swapped puppet out for a plasticine one?) close up of the legs, he pulls at the leg more and then it flies free straight up, ripping noise.(whole scene in one day?)

Friday 29th

2:47- 2:48 shot of Rumpelstiltskins head, (or whole puppet in two halves?) eyes closed, lying on the floor. fade to black. (10 minutes tops, its just one shot, nothing moves.)

It is quite ambitious to aim to get 30-40 seconds done in a day but they're mostly not too elaborate so it could be possible. If not, I have a few days spare to sort it out and finish it up. I will then hopefully have time to do some editing like adding in lights in after effects and cleaning up the rigging, hopefully before the deadline but if not definitely before the exhibition.
