Scene 006 Draft 1

So minus the shot which does not exist yet [and shall not be named] this is the final shot to be composited. I've shown two versions for development in the next day or two, one with a zoom and one without. This occurs just after John bumps into the clown. It needs work but It'll get there...maybe...

My Least Favourite Scene

Ironically this was one of the first scenes we attempted to animate for a sweet Disposition back in October. I've never liked it simply because I've never had a proper layout or much to work with in regards to John. Eleanor has redrawn this from about three different angles and one permutation which is now not being used was even in-betweened by a second year and then coloured. All in all very unsatisfactory. I've put off doing it but alas poor Yorick I have no choice. So this is Scene 008 version 15, in order to stay on schedule I need to nail this scene before close of play tomorrow so anything I can do to amke it better would be appreciated...

Scenes 03 and 04

Another two scenes blocked out. Three to go, 20 + credits + Making of to worry about 12 days to go....

Autumnal.

A sweet Disposition Scene 02. I think the leaves are a tad unnecessary...

The Background. The Bucket. The Ugly

More bad news on A Sweet Disposition. Not only did I discover that the bucket has not been updated with shadow when I sat down to composite it but also that the timing for this scene is all wrong and the children's run cycles had to be completely touched up. A most unsatisfactory night with even less sleep or  satisfactory results. Somehow I'm going to have to fix this as its the all important title scene. I knew it was going to be a tough scene to fix but I was not expecting it to be quite this bad. Help. Just Help.

Scenes 09-20 Take Two

There are still more updates to be sine based on in-studio discussions had this afternoon and so opinions are still asked for and welcome!

Scene 012

I've never been happy with the 3D in this scene but here's a compromise based on the time available for now. It does mean that although they all need tweaked all the Bob scenes are loosely composited...

Scenes 09-20 Rough Test

Sweet Sixteen

Scene 016 for  A Sweet Disposition. I can't tell you how long the smoke took to fix and despite this and the sheer amount of smoke ink bleeds and its still jittery and may have been the cause for my weekly Friday meltdown. Still this is its present incarnation which while being not amazing will just have to do....

John Meets Smokey Bob

Love at first fright...

Spot The Smoke Monster

This is Scene 018 where John and Bob ring the unsuspecting neighbours doorbell. There is a wonderfully cheesy dialogue coming from the tv and an awful sounding doorbell...

Trick Or Treat

Scenes 019 and 020 for A Sweet Disposition. These are the last two scenes of the film before it cuts to credits. Also it means I'm 50% there in compositing the film and there's only two more Bob scenes to go....Is it working?  

Ding Dong

Door Test For A Sweet Disposition Scene 019.

Scene 017

Promise not to eat me. Due to major story-boarding upheaval in January this became the only scene where John and Bob interact. It's been tricky to composite but heres Scene 017 Take One....

The Many Layers of Bob

To celebrate the end of compiling Bob for compositing I made a quick Screen Capture Test showing how Bob in scene 12 is layered up. May give some understanding as to why he's taking so long...

Nom Nom Nom...

Scene 014...

Alas Poor Smokey Bob...

Scene 7.5 Take One. I've been a busy bee today but sadly most of what I have been doing is for Mawkin's Backfire and is certain scenes which Brian wants to keep under wraps until the film shows at the degree show which is a shame as I'd love to show you all the madness of the animation. Instead pacify yourself with smokey Bob in Scene 7.5 where we meet Bob for the first time and he is talking to himself. The final recording for this scene will be done tomorrow and I have to say I will be sorry to let Kenneth Branagh go! Also updated Scene 09 and 05. 

300th Post. More Bob Action

A Sweet Disposition Scene 09. This is actually the third version and far from the final as I'm away the updated 2D frames which I had left on Eleanor's computer, so if you combine the video below with the 2D run cycle from the previous version then we shall have a full scene. I think I may tone down the mist on this one...

Scene 05 Take 1

Now this is rather scary. I may have gone overboard on the colours as I was in a rather angry mood so its rough but I think its working, if nothing else its making Smokey Bob look like a camp kitten...

A Sweet Disposition Scene 13 Parts 1 and 2

Finally an idea of what the final film will look like. It might have taken me so much longer to composite and colour than i would of liked but here's Sc. 13, one of the longest and most complicated. It's in two parts and requires tweaking but hooray for progress...
