Prison Scene

Here's the scene pretty much complete. It's only a few sec long, so I've made the video loop 5 times.

You may notice the beams are a little disconnected from the spotlights, but that's because the spotlights aren't animated (yet). In the final, I've also added some static light spots on the ground underneath the four middle spotlights.

If you haven't seen the construction series (Prison Construction in 6 parts), you can watch this scene being built from the ground up in timelapse. Check my channel for those.

Thanks for watching and thanks for the comments & ratings!

One thing that would improve the spotlights:

Don't have them change direction so suddenly. if they slowed down just a tad at each end and had a tiny little pause... just one of those little "acceleration" effects that make things ever so slightly more realistic (effective)

thanks, but yeah that was the first to be tweaked, along with the animated spotlights (which also have easing) ;)

Oh, and I'm very glad you have more than one layer of rain. That's something that even the most professional of professionals forget to do some times.

Well, I guess you are professional, but still...

[chluaid]

very well spotted, glad you noticed! I can't stand it when I see rain on film/TV that's just one front layer. Even in live action, it's so obvious when they've just put a rain machine over the foreground and there's no depth to it.

In the final of this scene, I've reduced the front layer of rain so it's even more subtle.. it makes the rain in the spotlight beams so much more effective.

Thanks :)

Why that sounds just dandy.

If you even read these, what ever happened to your entry to the AniBoom Radiohead contest? I really liked your storyboard.

[chluaid]

Funny you should mention that.. I've been working on the Radiohead clip all weekend. I didn't qualify for the first round so I'm going for the golden ticket now. Not sure I'll get it done on time though (16 days to go)
