New end imgination sequence

The dreaded end imagination sequence, cue evil theme tune...

I have been experimenting with several ways to attack this, and much to my annoyance have been animating and scrapping work for the past few days but as it stands what i am working with at the moment is visible on the link below. Once again blogger wont let me embed so you will have to watch via the link. The animation parts still need work but before i go any further with it and waste even more time i thought I'd post the progress.
There is one point i need to add about this, that i have only noticed since uploading it onto YouTube, and that is the two outside plane shots at the end of the sequence see the planes flying to the left of the screen and then Burt running to the right, so i will need to change the direction of the planes in order to make more visual sense out of this.

There will be smoke added (please see previous blog entry) over the final scene to blend out of this and into Burt on the RAF background in a way that allows you to see he's come out of his imagination.

  1. Hi Heather,

    I think this is already working more effectively; but - I think for the comedy to work, the camera on the window should stay still, while Bert does the moving about - it's a sort of 'dead pan' shot. And I also think that Bert should travel right across the view and then right back again - mirroring the plane direction - so first the plane goes from right to left, and then we see Bert go all the way across from right to left, and then the plane comes back left to right, and then Bert runs back the other way; as he runs, he's waving the newspaper, but keep him in transit. I know you're tired and you've lost your nerve a little, but you're absolutely sooooo nearly there and you're already rendering I see - and that's brilliant; bank what you can, and tweak what is necessary!

    I couldn't see the smoke, because Youtube said it couldn't find the video?
