Timeline for completion will be an end of August deadline.
We have decided upon a 5-zone site, split into the following:
- Main zone - viewable web version of video with surrounding content linking to other zoned content areas. Up until the actual unveiling of the video we will only tease the viewer.
- Project zone - this area will set the video into it's project context (Jo I'll discuss the content for this area with you as this area should focus on you and the lads)
- Extras zone - this zone will have additional support material that didn't go into the main video e.g. footage of the lads freerunning, an interactive walkaround of the final scene, concept illustrations, storyboard, animatic, pre-viz tests, narrative tests, etc.
- Team zone - this is the area for the St Helens team to shine. A mix of bios, promotion and links to work they did on the project
- Archive zone - this is a more academic zone where the project is recorded as academic research. The project blog (after editing of IPR material) will be made public and available through the website. This section will also have content added to aid marketing of the video.
2 main points for consideration we discussed that needs researching are:
- Code to detect users connection speed to load relevant video page
- Option in Flash to toggle video to full screen mode
Visually the site will reflect the graphic design decisions Matt has so ably designed so far. Matt will re-use and re-purpose the intro credits background, blog logo and visuals into a design for the website and plans to have some visuals on the blog for next Tuesday. The 5-part tonal colouring of the video will be subtly reflected within the website design with each zone taking a different tone. The blog logo will also be varied for each section using a different lad's image (Matt the archive section can duplicate the video page logo. Alan from Creative Griffin will build the site at the end of August. I will be responsible for the art direction of the website, and the information architecture and content.
From the website design I will then re-purpose it to build a DVD master ready for the launch.
I think I've covered everything but Matt and Alan will let me know if I've forgotten anything?
Seems all there to me in regards to the site.
ReplyDeleteWhens the panic date for scoring? Have you still got someone in mind? Just remembered I've got an old friend who's a sound tech (and as far as I'm aware owes me one), he worked on some adverts etc. during his course, doesn't really help with the music unless he knows anyone but he might be a help with regards to mixing sfx.
I'll start asking around for drum n bass DJ's too
I'm not sure of scoring protocol, is the sound created around/synced with a final edit, mixed down to one stereo track then rendered out with the edit again?
The rough cut of the video should be ready to score in about 10 days. A version will be available with notes as to where and when the pace and punctuation needs to be. The musician will score a track which will then be added to the final edit. Adam can then do his magic using the track to do the final edits against.
ReplyDeleteOr that's the plan failing that it's me with a kazoo. So any musos you know would be good to sound out (pun intended) if they would be interested. If they are get us some demos to listen to.
