Just a Wooden Sword

Hello Everyone.

this is the second part of Elderwood meeting. it's taken longer in render time, so it's not very long.

comments welcome

I especially like the pan from right to left across the characters in the first part of the shot.

 

(There is an odd light-to-shadow jump in mid-pan, I'm not sure what is causing it?)

 

Very nice.

Yeah, I had to render that part three different times because electricity went out. and the last time I lost a light.

I attempted to add new one but I missed the mark. so I'll re -render it after all the snow stopps

thanks frosteternal

Wow - I'm glad you didn't lose more than just the light - I had a hard drive go down on our last project and lost a whole day's work.

 

Weather can be such a trial!!

Looking good.

Nicely done.

 

Those are some great characters.

I like the lighting of the set too. Especially how the buildings stand out from the trees.

Its very easy to read this scene.

 

I see a camera continuity problem here.

The human eye can only focus on one thing at a time.

The voices kept the continuity going for me but my eye lost its focus.

It took me a little while to understand what I was seeing.

 

As the sword is passed from character to character the camera moves 180 degrees.

The brain tries to make the appropriate adjustment but can't for a number of reasons.

Three characters; one on the left, one on the right and one in the middle.

The middle one gets hidden by left one crossing over in front of him (that good as it keeps the focus on the two passing the sword)

The middle one seems to drop into the shadows and when he reemerges he's a different character.

 

The reason is that you've crossed the 180 degree line and the characters have switch places.

So the middle character is a different character but the brain can't effectively process the change.

Its still expecting to see the characters in their original order.

 

There are several ways to address this issue.

1 - Flip the images in those shots so the characters stay in their assigned places.

2 - Track the camera around them as they come together and meet.

 

I hope this makes sense.

There are several discussions on the 180 degree rule here in the forum and many out there on the internet.

 

Note to self: I need to learn these characters names.

Do you have any character sheets?

Nice Choreography!

Characters were interesting.

I hate when that happens, we just had 30 inches, so its been touch and go.

i will have to research 180 degree rule. when you say flip images, do you mean in photo shop, or the models?

as you see i'm not understanding thanks Rodney

You know after watching this section again i sea exactly what you mean.

It was funny as I was showing my husband the scene, I got confused who gave whom the sword. because I did turn the camera around shooting in the opposite direction. which in turn reversed the characters. thanks again Rodney l'll fix it.
