Shoe Split
A quick mock up of the seperation we want. We decided to go for these 6 parts because they seemed like the natural seperations of the shoe. Now that we have decided on the seperation Karl can begin to model up the trainer parts to make sure we get a head start for the second part of the semester.

Sweeney Test
After a quick converse on MSN and due to my lack of a video camera Dan went off and quickly created this. If we were to use this style we could have it running as one continuous shot instead of having to cut it up. We would need to use tracking software like pfHoe alongside Cinema 4d if we were to use this shooting style.

Between Shot Style
Double Click to play and stop.
The time element was going to prove difficult for us seeing as we wanted to have the separate parts of the trainer at various points in the room. After seeing Sweeney Todd I really liked the way they shot the scene above. The way the footage slows down considerably when it arrives at something interesting then speeds back up for the in-between bits. It would help solve the time element issues for us leaving more time for the effects shot.

Trainer Choice Take 2
We had hoped to use the Jordan Spizikes but soon realised when it came to the modeling the pictures we found on the net wouldn’t be good enough for referencing. We decided that it would be best if we used a trainer we had access to making the job of modeling easier. We decided on the Bamboo-A Bulldog trainer because Dan had easy access to a pair as he works part time at the company. Plus as you can see it has distinct sections that we can break it apart into.

Bulldog Confusion
When Dan was suggesting using the Bulldog trainers i got slightly confused and thought he was talking about making the trainer transform from a bulldog back to a trainer. Somehow I started to picture how we could achieve this and was really getting into the whole idea. Then I realised that Dan was in fact talking about the trainer which was called Bulldog. It got me thinking about perhaps using a play on the word bulldog giving the shot more of a purpose rather than it just being a transforming trainer.

OK this is the final one … for now!!! I’ve added some music to it as well felt it needed a little something extra to it.

Dan Stair Jump
Another one of our fabulous SFX test this time I added some corny sound effects. What I’m beginning to realise is that you can create something that looks really effective without having to use complex methods. The way I’ve created all of these is just by editing clips together at the right moments. Timing is integral to making the clips look effective.

FCP fun
In order to demonstrate SFX to us Andy made us venture out to the sunny realms of …. just outside Sainsburys!! Armed with a camera and a tripod we set about to get the footage of the year by attempting to recreate the age old SFX shot of someone walking behind a lamppost and another person emerging the other side. This one was probably the most effective of the lot we took. I can just picture with the right effects in After Effects or Cinema 4d this could be a pretty effective shot. When I get some time I’m going to attempt this and see what i can come up with.

Organic Nike
While doing some research on Youtube we came across this video which i absolutely loved. I think the main reason I loved it so much was because it was so different from every other transforming object video we had found. The almost organic look that the stop motion provided was a truly aesthetically pleasing effect. After seeing this we were considering the idea of going for a slightly more organic look to our transformation not quite to the extent of the stop motion but the idea of having the trainer peel away to reveal to something else is something we all find quite appealing.
