TTOS Behind the Scenes Log 1/30/2022
Added 2022-01-30 18:17:21 +0000 UTCThe first scene of Episode 5 has been entirely edited! I had a pretty difficult time working on this, but I'm really proud of how it came out.
(Picture One): Sir Topham Hatt and Harry talking, pre keying.
Episode 5 had a fun scene to work with, something that was originally written as a joke for STONWR, but never saw the light of day. The concept was that Harry (Tidmouth Stationmaster), upon hearing that the passengers on the platform are rioting, warns Sir Topham Hatt not to leave through the main door. Sir Topham Hatt, instead, chooses the "alternative exit..." Which means jumping through the window.
I had NO idea how I'd edit this scene, though. Ideas of manually editing pieces of the window smashing came to mind, but I thought that might take way too long. But, after finishing most of the scenes on the Roblox map, I got the idea to use the window I had built in Roblox, unanchor it, and record it falling apart
It took a few tries, and loads of trial and error. Tilting the window slightly, hiding an invisible block so that the window would be forced outwards, etc.. and Eventually, I got the shot I needed, and edited it into the scene. (See Attachment One. VFX Breakdowns are so fun!)
(Picture Two): Sir Topham Hatt, being edited into a "diving" position.
Anyways, that's all I have to say for now, I'm getting to work on another scene much later in the episode, but I'll talk more about that in a later post. Until next time!
