Class Log 03-07

I was not able to attend today's class, but I was told by Dennis that substantial areas have been cut from the film. I am not surprised to hear this, and I understand that it is how things go in the collaborative business. Ultimately, all of the work has pushed the team forward and helped us to understand the character and our world. There will be plenty of art for the concept art book, that is for sure!

Things that have been cut include:

The Cat, which means the paper is blown by the wind like we originally planned

The Musician, although the mural is still there for the drawing to collide with.

The Seagull scene, our character simply walks straight tot the dress shop

The Alleyway scene, including all the reaction shots

The Dancers, which led to the artist being motivated by seeing the paper, which is stronger
The Classroom, which means our grand finale needs to happen at the festival

Ultimately I think this results in a much tighter and stronger story. The other elements were cool, but this will allow the team to create a really polished product next quarter. Onward!

I am currently still developing the Phoebe painting and adding various lights to it to be shown on Friday.
