Shooting done yay!

Keeping the talent fed and happy

Josh gets some good closeups

I am pleased to say that we finished the last day of shooting on Sunday. Though we got a late start, we got almost everyone in the band to show up in the end and we took some lovely footage! Sunday was the day that we got the ending footage of the band playing and then sitting down and eating waffles - this mirrors what the children are doing during this time, playing air-guitar and then eating waffles.  Of course by the time the band is shooting the scene with the waffles the waffles are 2 days old and not... exactly... good. I'm half hoping and half fearing that the footage that Josh and Nasir shot of Nasir fake-throwing up so Josh can put in fake CG technicolor barf into the scene - well, I hope it doesn't make it into the rough cut  :)

And because of course there is no resting on our laurels, we have to cut the video while getting into pre-production for all the motion graphics and CG that we're going to layer in after the rough cuts are done. So here are some pre-production sketches of the little CG space creatures.

Hello there little chibi spacys!

Too robotic? Too complicated up top? Too cute underneath? The production team will need to talk about this. I also just remembered Peter Max, who did some great 70s pop art and this may be excellent inspirations for the Supernova scene... to the Internets for some ref!

Catch you in the middle of rough cuts!
