My partner spends a lot of time on Facebook so it's not hard to see where the inspiration for Engima Sunshine being a Facebook 'socialite' comes from.
I'm not a big fan of online social networks myself. I'd call myself a 'reluctant' participant. Particularly when it comes to real time chat. I prefer the old style message board forums to live chat (or even Twitter for that matter). I found coming up with a script for the first episode of Enigma Sunshine fairly difficult as result.
In fact, to try and find some inspiration, I created the entire opening sequence before the title, long before I had a script. What I finally came up with is nothing particularly new but it gets the series going and I hope you find it kind of fun all the same.

Really nice. Those sets are great. They work well to create different camera angles without actually having the character's facing change...
ReplyDeleteCool blog- S31
ReplyDeleteThis is excellent. I did notice all the background sounds, even the door closing in the bathroom. But I'm still confused how you got the different angles. I'll go back and read it again.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to think about some ideas for your series. One sort of sticks out now --- I have been getting slews of friend invites from old
boyfriends--I'll call them a BLAST FROM THE PAST.
Anyway, I'm sure all the gals on facebook are experiencing the same thing. As a gal, I found it, initially exciting making the re-connect. But it soon got ridiculous because as you move foward in your correspondences --- they burn out quickly from excitement to OH! Crap...what did I start?
Just an idea that could, with your brilliance, be a funny thing to explore.
I like these posts, they actually shine some light in the creation process. Creating an animation that doesn't look difficult to do, while in truth it is quite complex, is probably what I would like to be able to do. As you've shown in here, the custom work doesn't have to be "stunning", but "effective". I think the arms typing was a fantastic idea, as it was the mobile phone. You are rigt, these details might not show up, but they add to make us viewers, get into the animation.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing TET, it's always a pleasure to come by here.
