Shot 06, was rendered out in four different computers, however there were a couple of barriers we encountered, one being one of our laptops failing to work. The other being setting changes in some shots. However the overall quality of the correct frames is what we are aiming towards. As well as the sound.
Lukas Kontilis:
Since the last review I have refined the animation of the snake for nearly all of the shots. This is different from our animatic because it has more precise movements and conveys exactly what we want in our final animation. As per the professor's request, I have constructed a rough soundtrack to our animation, located some ambiance reference, and found the clip of the kung fu movie that will be playing in the background of our animation. The soundtrack has been pieced together from some work by Hans Zimmer and has already been featured in the Dreamworks movie, Kung Fu Panda. We thought that this soundtrack matched the Asian influenced, yet cartoony feel that we wanted our animation to have.

Aside from contributing as a group toward our animatic, I've just been tweaking out scenes that needed improvement regarding the set and character lighting. As an example, the shot below has been taken from Shot 10 depicting the Mouse coiled by the snake. Beforehand, our shot was a bit to washed out by our heatlamp light and the mouse was getting lost in the frame because the lighting wasn't focusing on it. In this render shown below, I chose to add spot lights rather than directional lights which really helped it out. I chose spotlights because it gives a better image of the characters/set objects and doesn't wash any subject out like directional. Another reason why I edited the lighting in this shot was to bring back the external lighting from the TV which had gotten lost. In this shot, we had unanimously agreed in having a strong blue tint in the shot to depict the kung fu movie on the TV that is playing during all of the action in the tank. Moving forward, rendering and credits are my priorities.
