ALAS.
FINALLY Zara and Hazel were able to get in contact with Alex and found out it was due to the recent Ash clour that he was stuck in Germany. After the confruntation all three members went back to the meteor idea and began to shoot.
Using green screen for the person in the movie, 3D for the crater and meteor whilst using guides from video co pilot our group together worked from the video.

Mission impossible
18/04/2010
During the easter break everyone lost contact and were not able to meet nor discuss our ideas. Zara due to desperation started on a project herself, began to play around with visual effacts and created a city scene with smoke trails and missiles.
It was till the last day of easter break where Zara and Hazel got in contact again where they decided to just work together on a smaller project and split up the work equally.
The idea was to create a kind of horror trailer with Zara filming, Hazel doing 3D and both working together on the VFX.
The plot
The idea zara came up with was to use a video camera to film the main character who will be doing odd strange things like flinching and spazzing out while having being dubbed with '' recordings'' of different phone conversations of people who we assume to be his friends saying things like '' oh jeff's been acting a bit wierd recently'' '' yeah he has been totally strange doing odd things'' '' last week i saw him walking up and down a short road with no emotion'' '' its not jeff im telling you''
Then theres a shot where we would use techniques from video co pilot
http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/submerged/
to move the camera from the outside clip of jeff standing looking demonic through the ground made with real textures to a shot in a basement looking area where the REAL jeff is sweating and topless tied to some radiators with flickering light. A 3d modelled phone would be in the shot ringing, reaches voicemail and suddenly a voice says goodbye. and the building started to break and crumble over him with parts made with 3dsmax.

Meeting: Fail + Another Idea
17/03/2010
the meting we had planned was canceled . Only Zara and Hazel turned up. Alex was ill and on numerous occatiions we attempted to get in contact with Deng via Email, phone also he hasn't turned up in class so there was no way we were able to contact him.
Zara and Hazel then went back to consider new possible ideas for another animation. and later developed new possible ideas.

Back to the drawing board
03/03 2010
With deng missing, we discussed further about our animation, we decied to scrap our previous idea on the count that it was far to complicated to our target date. one of the ideas was a meteor crashing down to earth creating a huge crator where one of us would examin what it was that created it.
with this idea in mind we dismissed and thought on the idea and how we can improve and add to it.

Rethink our whole plan.
Second Meeting
24/Feb/2010
With Deng missing, we discussed about the fight scene idea and how we could improve and upgrade it.
We came to the conclusion it would be easier for us to use our 3d characters we were modelling/ rigging and skinning for a simultaneous project. So we formed an idea with Alex's charcter a zombie, landing on hatfield campus to take over but zara's and hazels characters are glactical warriors who have to fight and stop him.
Here are some screen shots from the animatic.

The first encounter
Formed together to do the Viral video, we had a meeting in class with the group who consisted of ''Zara, Alexei, Deng and Hazel''. We had lots of different ideas, some were very comical, some where serious and there were also some which were BORING.
Ideas
Lemons attacking people.
Getting loads of games art (old school games) making a transformation pixel image.
Dressing like our favourite characters from games and film and having a comical fight scene.
Making a music video.
Making a trailer for a film.
Using after effects to make random scenes of buildings with flashing lights and smoke trails.
Final desicion
We eventually used the fight scene idea and chose to meet again to discuss it.
