Revelation and Set Back

In keeping with the lo-fi spirit I have adopted for this Film, by circumstance as much as choice; I have acquiesced to a certain number of set backs. However, todays set back was a culmination of theses acquieses being thrown back at me through chance and acident.

It was by accident that I happened to solve the problemes I had been having with the capture from my camera. The main problem that was lt slip through the net, though not through lack of trying, was the "logo" that I could not remove from the screen of the camera. I decided to allow this, to use the parlance of our times, through convincing myself that I could claim this as my own "logo", to stamp the film as my own as it were. With the later lack of even noticing the "logo" from others I was relativly satified.

Until today, when by sheer mistake I set the camera to black and white photo mode and realised that on this setting I could produce a live feed to the computer completly clear of the retched logo. This balck and white mode also eleviated the developing problem of inconsistencies in the lighting and tone of the animation. This new setting was a great revelation. Bellow you can see the differnce between the two settings.

Unfortunatly I had already spent the best part of a week animating the first minute of the film. With the logo stamped in the corner and the tones all wonky.

After much debate with myself, and the advice of tutor David, I have decided on the Solution. To continue with the film in this new and improved capture setting and then return to animate from the first minute when this is complete. I inted to emit a scene to save time, and hopefully as I now feel much more confident animating and am working at a quicker rate this should be achievable and overall make the film much more aseticaly pleasing. This however is the set back.
