The Palette

l decided that l was going to go for a very dull and oppresive feel to the place where Jesses lives. This is a person who is tormented and almost feels that he has the world on his shoulders. To have bright colors would be detract from the mood l want to create. Although l am not filming it, l had been lookin into Shake as that was the package l wanted to use to composite it. l wanted to use this not just because l think it is an interesting package, but also because l like what it can do. l know AE is a great compostiting package, but whilst looking through the extras on Lord of The Rings l saw how they had used a tool that highlighted a characters eyes because of the fact that there were two people in the shot and the one that was speaking was furthest from the camers. So when he spoke they highlighted his eyes subtly drawing more attention to him. Anyway, yeh. Athaleahs pad on the other hand is going to be a bright airy and peaceful place. When story boarding l had originally given her place a really dark feel to it, l suppose that was the influence of Broken Saints. l will try to upload my observations of that tomorrow. Anyway, it has that kinda look and l thought it would be great to give Athaleah a mystical feel to her like... oooooh, but then l thought, why? So l thought about the oracle in Matrix, she is a very wise and clever woman/programme without the oooooh. Hence she is in casual clothes and normal. Abigail is somewhere in the middle.
