To Think About.

I need to think about the mans age!
If we don't see his face then how old is he in hand age.
Do we see dirt and are they old looking?

all these things i just havent thought about.

Update of Script Page

Okay so I have put Draft 3 of my script up in the 'Script' page.
I'm going to work on the next script and try and fix the shot list.

Video Blocks and Finishing Script

In Jack's class today I showed him my script and he read through it. He said that it was fine however there are two sections of my script that i should work on.
Ones being where the man notices the hourglass there has to be some sort of reaction shot, so that the audience can realise as well that he has found something new.
The second thing is when the seed is placed on the floor and opens. I need to explain more about how the seed opens and the view you see of the tress growing.

I have been working on my shot list and trying to figure out what shots i need. I see it in my head how it looks but today when we got some cameras out and i went to film how it should look. it just seemed not right! and i wasnt really happy with it at all.
I think i need to go through my script again and also my shotlist.
ACTUALLY!! i think my problem is that i havent done my thumbnails! and when i was filming today i just found that my shots were really odd. I dont know, i just can't seem to get the views i want and the things i want to show in the shots i have.

I'm having a really 'I don't think this is working' moment with the work i have done so far!

3rd Draft Script Done.

On Thursday i got Jack to read over my 2nd draft script and write his feedback.
I now have all three teachers feedback. I have gone over there feedback and have put in and taken out things that each teacher has suggested.

I have now gotten Neale to read my new script and will get Darren to read over it now. Hopefully on Tuesday i will get Jack to read over it too.
I am now going to do my shot list and hopefully get my thumbnails done.
YAY!!!!

What does 'horologium arborium' mean?

So many people ask me what does the title of your animation mean and how did you come up with the words.
First, my boyfriend does environmental science at uni and he has studied a lot about trees. He helped me with the name and the meaning of many odd words that i have never heard before.

Horology means study of time. Or Horo on its own means Time.
Arborial means tree.

horologium arborium means Time of Many Trees. however i just cut it down to 'time of trees'

horologium arborium is just the scientific name for time and tree.
And you all just learnt something!!!!

Pulled apart Watch.

I pulled apart watches that I don't use anymore and found some tiny pretty cool stuff!












I have also been looking at pictures of trees and trying to design my steampunk one. It's hard! I also did some research on the meaning of trees. I have come up with a few.
