You don't mind, do you?...

The Next Meeting

Hi Everybody!

I hope that everyone had completed their Professional Profiling or whatever it is that you were doing...

So since it is a 1 Week Break, David is hoping to meet with us and see where have we ended up...

So is next Thursday suitable for everyone?

Website Examples

Just in case we face any Difficulties during the Website-making Process, I think that we should at least have a List of Existing Websites that we can learn from...


Websites:

Garfield Gets Real Official Movie Site: http://garfield.com/d2v/index.html

Pyrats Official Movie Site (Blog included): http://www.pyrats.net/movie.html


I might add more if I happen to come across any more.

If anyone else has found some useful Websites / Online Tutorials / ETC, please Comment with Links attached.

Character Chart

From Left to Right:
Leo, Anna, Fenrir, Agnis and Inubis


The Character Chart for the Main Characters of the Story. Now you would have some Idea about how large they are.

Due to Fenrir's Pose in here, he is actually as tall as Agnis when he is standing upright.


Any Objections to the Size of any Character?

Character Design - 3 Sages Colour Test

Yusri mentioned that this Colour Scheme makes them look like they were made from Clay.



I think Grey is a better Colour Choice. They look more like they were made from Rock.

Research - FLUX Anthology (Coloured Version)

Please Comment if you are either unsure or confused about the Storyline, the Characters, ETC...

Also, discuss all Suggestions and/or Improvements with me if anyone has any to share. Otherwise, we can proceed according to Plan.

He is the God of Fire, the Messenger of the Gods and the Acceptor of Sacrifice. The word “Agni” is Sanskrit for "Fire" (Noun), cognate with Latin “Ignis” (The root of English “Ignite”), Russian “Ogon” (Fire), spelled “Agon” and “Ogni”, spelled “Agni” (Fires).

The half of his current age is the age of Singapore’s Independence in the year 2007.

Agnis's weapon is based on the Holy Lance. According to legend, the Holy Lance (Also known as the Spear of Destiny, Holy Spear, Lance of Longinus, Spear of Longinus or Spear of Christ) is the lance that pierced Jesus while he was on the cross.

Meeting 5

Our Working Title for this comic is "FinisFluxus" which means "Final Flow".

I have a Rough Idea about how our Website and Interface are going to be. We will be going for the Simple Approach. We will have a Border made up of the 2 City Logos on each side. We will also have Scene Selection at the Bottom. The Play Button can be activated by moving the Computer Mouse.

Animation
Each Panel will come into the Frame and leave it later. We could also use the Zoom Feature. If there is any Rock-flying, we could make them run over the Border for better Effects.

We also did a little Brainstorming. It is nice to have Stuff:

• Character Bio
• Location Bio
• Deleted Scenes
• How We did this Project / Documentation
• Map

Stuff To Do

Benjamin
1) You should start creating the Music for the Beginning / History Scenes.
2) Upload the Music online so that we can preview them and give some Constructive Comments.

Tao Hui
1) Draft out the Storyboard. At least finish 3 Pages or Chapter 1 before next Thursday.

Jasmine
1) Finish the Colouring Test
2) Draft out the Look of the Website and the Interface

Next Meeting

Bring whatever you have completed on Monday and on Tuesday.
Meeting on 25 October. After School Hours with David.

The Production Pipeline

* Some Changes might be made.

Character Design - Leo Colour Test

Yusri and I have decided that both Leo and Fenrir should have Colour Schemes that will contrast with each other.

Therefore, we chose the Classic Black and White Colour Scheme...

Character Design - Inubis, Fenrir, Agnis Colour test

Inubis





Fenrir

I fixed his Legs. I think he should be alright now. Yusri did not draw his Legs in the Original Design.




Agnis
