Behind the Scenes: Ami Split-Screen Previz
Added 2017-11-09 17:45:38 +0000 UTCMost of my ideas start out grander and more complicated than what ends up in the video. Technical limitations and schedule usually require trimming the concept down to something more approachable.
In the case of the motion control split-screen scene with Ami Yamato, I originally aimed for an elaborate sketch with a BTTF-style time travel premise. Since Ami was coming all the way from London, I threw together this rough animated storyboard (using my own voice and primitive mannequins) to make sure we both had the exact same vision of how the scene would play out.
The length and complexity of it proved way too much for Ami and I to choreograph and shoot in the limited time available, so we opted to go with something a lot simpler ( https://youtu.be/pKQn2VvZbxg )
But this animatic is still fun to look at :)

Woah... Wait... Ami actually flew down from London? I thought it was done... Emm... Just digitally

2017-11-09 23:08:43 +0000 UTCI've genuinely had so many time travelling ideas from this:- *(Captain D plows the Delorean through Ami's apartment wall and climbs out in a blind panic)* CAPTAIN: "It's your kids, Ami, something's gotta be done about your kids!" AMI: "What is it, D?!" CAPTAIN: ".....They only drink tea!" AMI: "Noooooooooo!" But Hey! Way to be ambitious, Captain. Wonder what movies VFX you'll tackle next :)
