LAUAN 603 - Extended Practice Post 9

This week I finished Devon's set. I'm slightly less pleased with the outcome compared to the exterior set. I encountered more hiccups with colour choices, layout and consistency and I think it shows. This is not to say I'm not proud- I also learned from COP that things really come alive under lights and in front of the camera. The only next step for this project is the shoot.

I also got roped into helping with Petra's film again this week, making first draught paper versions of Rhys' character designs. After Terry Wragg's talk, I was inspired by her paper puppet rigging with thread and so tested this. As a mock up I think it works really well despite being quite delicate. I would use thicker paper and stronger tape in future.

Finally, I began painting Tamara's backgrounds. This involved sourcing, creating and scanning textures. I tested some out approaches which Tamara was happy with. They're quite quick to make so I'm aiming to have them finished by Sunday.
