3D animatic needs to be finished for Monday. First draft is done but something looks weird.. Almost as if the is not enough time for what has to happen but I will look through it this weekend. Peter took some pretty good pics of the set but unfortunately some of the trees look horrible (Too saturated and artificial). We talked about spray painting them but worried that they might get ruined. Peter tried to fix them in Photoshop. It looked okay but it did take some time.. we have not decided wether to spray or photoshop. For a chase scene between trees Peter has build a 3D set, as our camera is too big to put into the real set, and put on tree textures. It looked very different from our real set.. But I think it might get to look acceptable, especially in the areas where the camera will fly by. Magnus is working at home as he is using certain programs we do not have at the school. Magnus came with a textured frog the other day. I think it looked really good.. We tried to stretch it to see how it would affect the texture but it seemed that the texture got "smudgy" in places with small details. But other than that it looked really good. Louie will help us with modelling and uv mapping next week. Anders (who is in Madrid) is not completely convinced that we should accept Louie's help as he feels we should do it our selves. The rest of us think that since we are a bit behind schedule it would be the right choice to accept.
