Changes

Today the group had another meeting and discussed a screenplay Dave had put together. We had to make quite a few changes to the original draft as it was firstly too long, secondly contained too much animation, and thirdly was too much to model. We cut the bathroom scene, saving us having to model another room just for a toilet gag. We cut the cadillac outside, as again more modelling. We cut our plans for the guy running from room to room, down corridors etc. as it was again too much animation and time we didn't have. We decided to go back to our original funny idea, which was to have our fast MTV camera work in the 3 most important rooms (foyer, weights room, and swimming pool) followed by an embarassing pose/action by Pony at the end of each shot. The camera will be spiraling, zooming in on ornaments, panning, tracking across walls etc. and then always ending up zooming out of a spot in the room to reveal the whole room. During the zoom out the camera will always spot Pony, who has appeared pulling a funny embarassing pose - camera will then swing to blur focus/zoom on him and fumble downwards to cut to the next room! This continuous joke of him trying to grab attention at the end of each room will be much funnier and requires less animation. Also our establishing shot of the mansion on the hill above the Jollygood sign has been less prioritised until the 3 rooms and information screen has been completed.

Btw I liked Jared's idea for the information screen guy's, it pans up front of house, 54 bedrooms, 28 bathrooms, etc etc. and then 1 twat! lol what do you think? I'm going to include it in my opening section of my storyboard, as it leads on to my foyer scene.
