What has been done so far...

Firstly the scene has been made; using matt painting for the background and some 3-d elements for the foreground. A bridge has been built which is going to collapse; this is going to employ a shatter effect.
The textures for the bridge were taken from some of the bare concrete in the uni building; and a bit of graffitti applied via photoshop.
The gun has been modelled and textured; the shells for the gun have been put on a motion path so they look although they are being fed in on a belt.
The shots have been planned; we need five in all' this has been accertained from the storyboard.
Today we are going to put all the elements together for the first scene render; and then we should have some idea of what the finished shot pre-effects will look like.
I have been trying to manage the time assets, making sure that all props and recources are in place for the filming which should take place today. I have had trouble getting any time in the green studio; with the media office stone walling me at first ask; saying the studio was booked out for the whole term! WHAT!
Eventually i found out that our first years have an induction in the said studio; and with a bit of communication found out we can shoot for an hour at the end of the day.
This means the preparation of the shots has got to be 100% and multiple takes are on the cards; with two cameras (for tracking) plus we can hopefully play around with the lighting a bit as this may aid for keying/garbage mask creation.
Well thats it for now; today is a big day and i have got to get with the program...
