It's done!
Mar. 1st, 2012 11:26 pmI successfully put the set together and did a photo-shoot. Here's some pics:
The Elsie character for part 1 of Real Life Trips, as played by Elsie Broek. In the back of the landing we can see the front Translight.
Elsie Broek meets Ebbs, an animated pet bought inworld. These are very cleverly made. They will roam, claw, make pet noises, and generally act like a RL pet would. because the set was based on a real life flat, with real life pets, there was an immense sense of deja vu when doing the shoot. The pets roamed about or craved attention, just like the originals (which I now have in real life).
This is the final dressed set for the framing story of part 1. The set will also be used for the framing story of part 2, and an intermission in which there is no flashback told (but was based on real events).
An aerial vue of the the final dressed set. At left and right are translights built from photos of the area the original flat was in. They allow windows and doors to be open and not seem to be hanging in mid air.
What made the photo-shoot difficult - the sandbox I was working in had an 8 hour return period.
Anything older that 8 hours automatically gets returned to your avatar's "Lost and Found" folder. This shot sows that process happening! The floor and front walls have been returned already - that's the ocean about 300 metres below, and the actors with no visible means of support (and still they did not fall)!
You'd think that 8 hours should b more than enough time to set-up and shoot, but this was the FIRST TIME I'd done this process in such detail, and minor problems and omissions (like missing ash trays and cigarettes) were only apparent as this was done. Once complete, snapshots were taken of multiple viewpoints for the 21 panels in this part of the story - about 66 images to choose from in total.
