A Time Apart: Post Viz - Progress 2

Since my last post viz post I've got a couple more shots animated, a couple shots rendered and composited, a couple more voice actors in there and thanks to Phil I've discovered a lovely effect in premiere called 'vignette' a subtle effect around the edges of my film that contribute to the vintage/olden timey look I'm going for.

I've only rendered a couple scenes, the first shot I did this because I want it on my demo reel and the last shot I did it for compositing the shadow. I'm aware the animation isn't the best it can be and some shots are better animated than others, but for now I'm leaving Act 1 and taking the lessons learned into Acts 2 and 3 otherwise I'll never get this film made. If by some miracle I have time at the end I will return to Act 1 and bring it up to the same standards as Acts 2 and 3 (because they should be better).

Below the video are some notes I've made for myself when I return to Act 1.

Notes: 

Scene 1, Shot 2, (Fred CU on train): Fred's rigid he needs to be animated even though he is still. Also there's something odd about this shot that stands out to me in comparison to the ones before and after, maybe it's too close to his face? Do a playblast with the camera not so close and play with scale in premiere.

Scene 1, Shot 3, (Doris CU pull out and train wipe): Doris is also quite rigid in this part I need to animate her a bit more.

Scene 2, Shot 6, (Down shot on Fred and Doris): Need to animate more overlapping actions on Fred's looking down and Doris's nodding - it's rigid.

Scene 2: Shot 7, (Fred grabs suitcase): He pulls away too quick.

Scene 2: Shot 8, (He can't come with us): Need to animate the centre of gravity and spine more.

Scene 2: Shot 9, (Downward roll shot of Fred): It's jittery - something to do with premiere probably.

Scene 2: Shot 10, (Fred looks up and shadow appears): Lower scale on sub surface - looks a bit like a static tv under the skin a bit when batch rendered.
