The Storyboard as of 03/30/15

Green Screen Work

The Retro-Reflective fabric is not good when the subject is close to the camera.

Shooting and mixing. I added a mouth and an eyelid. I am experimenting with layers to cut down on render time, and re rendering. I have also been working with use background textures, lighting, and Mental Ray's rendering settings.

The sequence images of the hall did not match the speed well, so I am using a still image for now.

Mixing shots

I am unable to match the model in the position I want with the footage I have. I think I had the camera too high and pointed down. I am either going to reshoot, or try it with a high resolution still approaching the camera.
More footage will follow as I am composing the scene.

"The Hard Shot" Facebook brainstorming session.

Suggestions on "the hard shot" (getting the goose into the chair) from social media.

  Hondo Gonzalez Have him peck a button on the chair and a mechanical arm (with a big Mickey Mouse glove) comes out the back of the chair picks up the turkey and puts it in the chair.

  Jonathan Welch The cut away/cut back had occured to me, but it doesn't fit the script, if I just crammed it in to hide a difficult animation, it would make a pretty bad jump cut, which I might go with, there is some deliberately awkward editing in there already. Flying would be even harder to animate with the tuba. The mickey mouse hand had not occurred to me... Huh... Maybe

  Sheri Larrimer If you're ok with making it kinda funny, I'd suggest cutting away to something else, but with comical tuba/clambering sound effects, then cutting back.

  Do you ever get that feeling that you're being watched? Haha, eyes are terrifying. This collection of clips will stare...

  Jonathan Welch If you can't hide an awkward transition, flaunt it.

This is the hard shot.

Somehow that goose needs to get into that chair. I have made a mock up of the lab, and downloaded a chair from TurboSquid, I just need to figure out how to get him up there...
