Testing Visual Treatments

Based on effects used in Death Proof and Planet Terror, and on lomography and polaroids that fade over time and become chemically deteriorated.

I really like the second one, and will use the effect of the reel slipping off the sprocket to make it look as though the film was shot on film stock and is being watched on a projector, as would have been the case with B-movies.

Making the Hospital

Just modeling the environments now. Think if I take my time with the lighting and everything it'll look really atmospheric and cool. Good job I've got ages to do this! Need to arrange a focus group or two for next week so I can show my work to my target audience and get their feedback. I've managed to set up a Facebook group to find out when people are free but so far not set a day.

Animatic is almost finished, just putting the soundtrack to it, should be done by the start of next week.

Here's the hospital so far.

Bit simple at the moment, needs equipment and side tables and stuff. But the proportions should all be right for the length the nurse needs to walk etc. And it has that Kubrik long corridor feeling, so it should look pretty good when I pull focus with the camera when tracking down it. I'll do some tests when I've got all the props in.

The floor will be checkered floor tiles too, which should look pretty trippy. I think for the walls I'll make some grungy textures in Photoshop that make the hospital look all run down and eery.
