Gnomon PRE-VISUALIZATION FOR FILM WITH JASON MICHAEL HALL basic rule

 The line of action or 180-degree rule is one of the most common rules to be broken. This means if a character is on the left, they always stay there as they're on the right back and forth is natural, like their constantly switching places with the other frequently. You chose to pick top or bottom and all the camera's stay in that area. These rules can be broken if your genre is unsettling like horror for instance, but generally, these rules make the camera more organic. Having 3 camera's is good, over the shoulder per each character and one in the middle for profile, too many may be confusing.

For rule of thirds it's best to place the action in the crosses and to use 4 boxes for the motion or placement so the action is not always directly in the centre.

For the scene's direction, you can do left to right or right to left. Say there's an alien spaceship chasing someone, it could be in the top left corner diagonally going left to right, so would the laser shooting and other details. scene direction is normally discussed before as if there is a team and the movement is inconsistent like the alien spaceship now being in the bottom right corner and the guy being in the top left it will take viewers out of the story.

Major final animation

This is it, the final animation, the culmination of all these months and blog posts. There was a slight hesitation on "WHEN" to post it leading up to it due to rendering times, but as it's complete and there's no reason to add extra stress and upload it on the last day, which is the 18th of May, I'll upload it now. Reacting to the animation, I'm quite proud of how far I've come from the previz. During the previz stage, I was unaware of Substance Painter and how much it could do for me. I was also unaware of After Effects, as I prioritized Adobe Premiere above it. However, I have found After Effects more user-friendly and powerful, regardless of my prior history with other editing software. As displayed in my blog posts by me, I did have to look at Youtube for help, and I was honest with that to help me improve on unfamiliar equipment.

Major not losing lighting

Image
  This is the original scene when the boy is amazed by the stairs sign in the new flat.  I added lips to my character in this scene, but if you look closely there are highlights on his bottom lip, the original scene did have highlights around the mouth so I did not want to lose that.
