Alive at Night 2nd Test

Evening All,

So it is, a second night of tests in the cold. And GOD is it COLD out there.
It's dark, it's a few degrees below freezing and were setting up for a few hours worth of tests.
As our focus on the 1st night was getting to grips with the camera, the lights and forming the character that will be the focus of the film, so tonight was all about trying to get some fluidity into the character.
Chris wanted to see some animation and realism in the light painting. So we set about it with that aim.

I seemed fixed on painting in legs to the character whether it was moving or now so mental note 'during the movement' its not necessary to draw the legs, instead I can allow for some misshaping, so long as I close the body up at the bottom.

PROPS: We got the wheelie bin in on the action this time round. Hence our scene's began with the wall moving towards the bin and then the gate before crossing the alley and the abandoned sofa which we dragged up last week.

Chris & I took turns as this helps us both get a sense of where we can improve and keeps one of us moving despite the cold setting in. So here's the results ...
