Notes from Playblasts

Sc1

  Sh1 

      No motion tracking? On the first sweep, Ben is already in the gate walking

      Revert to the Cam1 to transition to Sh2 - ends with Ben going under the sight of the camera

  Sh2

      Consider Ben grabbing the camera to adjust it down

      If Ben does tap/interact with the cam, the ShotCam should reflect that

  Sh3

      Change in POV transition is perhaps too great  =>180 rule

      Try camera looking more

      Slight dolly in (first 20-30 frames)

      Ben comes in from off-screen

      Transition - end a bit closer to screen right

  Sh4

      Transition - start closer to the window

      Longer interaction with control box

      Camera comes in closer to focus more on the door

Sc2

  Sh1

      Camera should be a bit closer to eye-height

Sc3

    Sh1

      Tree moved closer to house

      Watch out for the line connecting Squeak's nose to the trap to the house

    Sh2

      Move in even closer - this shot is about the map more than Squeak

    Sh3

Sc4

    Sh1

      Camera - great angles with desk, etc

      We don't want the shelf to intersect with Ben's head.

      More engagement with Ben's face - cheat it with him facing the camera a bit more

      Perhaps camera slightly more to the right?

Sc5

  Sh1

      Camera could be moved in, and a little to the left; left edge can be kept where it is

      Transition - rotate more towards the box

  Sh2

      Transition - rotate a bit more towards the box

      Not too much of a butt shot

      More of a crouch - rather than the 90 degree sit; remember he needs leverage to pull the cord out

      Have him crouched at an angle to face the camera

      

Sc6

  Sh1

      Lying on the back to open the window is a bit exaggerated, just a basic lift will suffice

      Transition>

  Sh2

      Transition>  End with Ben rotated to face the box a bit more; Squeak sneaks off to the left

  Sh3

      Head facing the camera when he crouches

      When lifting himself up, have him favor the left arm to grab the top, and the right arm pushing off the side or the ground, so as to not cover the face, and make the silhouette more interesting

  Sc4

      Add in so we can see how it looks

  Sc5

      Transition> Squeak jumps off Ben

  Sc6

      The final arc as Ben falls should be added in to see how it looks - do we want a clean fall, or a skid - leg catching the roof and sliding. 

Sc7

  Sh1

      Parallelism - use the same camera as Sc4Sh1 - it shows Squeak at the comp, and the window for Ben

      Squeak may not start in the chair, but jumps into it later

      Think about Ben rotating as he's hanging, starts the scene

  Sh2

      Camera on the other side of Squeak, and probably closer in - Squeak will get new hi-score in this scene, and we want to see it

  Sh3

      Ben enters through window - he is freaking out a bit, but gets 

Sc8

  Sh1

      Transition> Ben should enter from screen right

      Camera angle a bit more to the left to see towards the window a slight bit more

      Transition> End with Squeak jumping towards the top of shot

  Sh2

      Transition> Squeak will be ending the jump and has to rotate; Ben should be leaning over the chair

      *Redo this scene from scratch so the blocking is blocking, not smooth and awkward

Sc10

      Use the start of the previous, so there isn't the rotation

      Transition to higher position to show all of Squeak

      Switch 1/3 with ben

      Slower pull out initially

SET NOTES

  Yard

      Back Tree - *Has been moved

      Traps have been added to back

      We need the neighborhood

      Post 

  Room

      Shelf near window could be moved more to the right (Sh4Sc1 has it intersecting with Ben's head - we don't want that)

      Dormer window aspect should be reflected in the construction of the room - add in the short extension that leads 

  House

      Needs windows; door on left to open; basic start of hallway (end of Sc1Sh4 will have door open and show a slight bit

      Ruben will add camera prop to house

  Roof

      Needs cable
