Visual Effects Update: I just wanted to share a few little things about what has been going on with Norman lately. Before Adam can animate and do his visual effects magic, tons of graphic design has to be made, decided on, text added, and created in a way that helps the story and doesnt add any confusion, but helps reenforce the the story. This part has been a lot of fun, but extremely tedious. I spent several hours just last night working with Pecor on some really important designs that will be placed onto ANIs display in the film, and figuring out how to do that in the best possible way, is pretty complicated. Some of the things that are challenging is that the physical camera in the movie rarely moves in super close onto ANIs screen, so making sure whatever visual aids that do show up have to be a certain size so that the audience can understand what is going on. Having to balance between what a real life interface might look like on a device like this and knowing that a certain shot might only have seconds to show a screen and allow the viewers to figure out what is going on makes everything much harder. I created a primary and secondary design rule so that when a design is made, the primary story element comes first, and any secondary background story elements the viewer doesnt 100% need to know to follow the film comes second. Here is a screen grab from photoshop of some designs we have been working on. We want to add a ton of detail while keeping it easy to understand whenever on screen.
