Week Nine: The Penultimate Chapter

Hello readers. Of course, by "chapter" in the title I mean "week".

Just one week left now, the time on this project seems to have gone all to quickly. And the week just passed has been rather good, all in all. Some of the shots I've worked on have been the best I've done so far.

It's not all been clear sailing. I was hoping to have finished the scene I'm working on by the end of the week, but a fiddly walk sequence threw me off my stride. Due to Jack's waddling as he walks from the middle-left of the background to the right of the foreground, it took a few false starts to get the placement of where his feet should fall, as well as the angles that his roughly cubular body should be taking.

(I know cubular isn't actually a word, but I think it would be a rather good word to describe something cube shaped. Although, now I think about it, it's not really something that could be used to describe Jack's body anyway, as it's more rectangular. Boxy would be a better word perhaps, or brick-esque. And thats quite enough topic derailment for now)

But I rose to the challenge, and eventually conquered the shot, it just took a little while longer than would have been ideal.

I'm highly confident of finishing the scene early next week, only have one relatively simple shot to produce, and then after that there's some minor tweaking to be done to old shots as Sam (director) wants Sam's (character) lips removed. So all fairly simple, and I'm looking forward to the last week, though it is tinged with some dissapointment as my time on this project will all too soon be over, and it is quite an enjoyable project indeed.
