There are several changes I want to make to "The Barrier" that I wanted to
try out.
For example, I want to replace some or all of the synthetic
voices with real voices. I tried that out with my own voice and it looks like
it isn't problem technically. I do need some people with better voices than I
have though. I'll need money to pay them too.
This week I focussed on changes to the opening scene. In it,
my protagonist drives along a road and then narrowly avoids a collision with a
big truck. In the version I used for the current version of the movie, I just
have a close up of his face and appropriate sound effects. From the responses
I've had, this doesn't make the situation clear to many people.
The kind of action I want for the scene really can't be done
directly in State or StatePlus. There isn't a set that is appropriate and there
isn't a big truck. They do have a car though and I think I can work around the
limitations to get what I want.
My plan is to create the appropriate set in Blender, like I
did with the open house scene where I created a small gymnasium. I would need
to create a big truck in Blender as well. I plan to work on those changes in
Blender later.
If I want to incorporate the car and my character from
State/StatePlus I will need to modify the set with the car so that it has a
green screen background. I played around with that this week.
The set for the car is a bit tricky to alter to create the
green background. Some of the elements of the set are actually props rather
than parts of the set, so I needed to find those props and change them as well.
I still have bits and pieces of the set that are not green,
so I still have some detective work to do. However, I may be able to get the
shots I want with what I have now.
The next thing I need to do for this scene is to create the
set in Blender, then I can start to match up the car and the set.
