Pre-Production Review and Feedback

The previous week we had a large review session with our peers and lecturers. The entire process is hugely helpful as it gets a fresh pair of eyes on our film and design concepts.

Among some of the issues pointed out are as follows:


Robot Character Design:

The early concepts where there is a greater size contrast between the dog and the robot is more appealing. It's funnier to see such a large robot be scared by such a small dog. There were also concerns about being able to get a good enough acting performance out of the robot due to it's wide body shape and the number of facial expressions he could potentially make.


Environment Concepts:

It was widely agreed that the environment would make more sense if it was set in a park or a common instead of a redwood forest. The story would make more sense for dog to appear in that type of environment instead of a redwood forest in the middle of nowhere.


The Film Edit:

Overall the film edit is working okay. There are a few things we need to keep in mind as we keep working on it. I'll cover these changes next blog post.
