Test Shots 5
These are test shots of the scene where the “oil spill” eventually consumes the turtle and implies that it kills him. This scene was fairly had as it was difficult to keep the black material steady enough and to hold it over the turtle to make sure it covers it – “consuming” it. This was also difficult as there were issues with shadows and lighting and random flashes.
Test Shots 4
These are some test shots of the underwater close up scene, capturing the moment that the turtle notices something in the corner of his eye – an oil spill slowly taking over the ocean and soon makes its way to consume the turtle.
I had experimented with using various materials to use for the “oil spill”; I had originally thought to use a black bin bag however opted for using a plain black scarf. The scarf seemed to work better as it fit in well with the fabric and soft aesthetics of the film. However, in the end I had decided to just digitally in TV Paint create the oil spill there using the textured brushes.
Test Shots 3
This is a couple of test shots of the turtle escaping to the ocean. I had to retake this scene to make sure I had gotten the timing right and expressions right.
Test Shots 2
This is a collection of the test shots for the close up reaction scene from where the turtle notices the bird flying above its head and realising that it is in danger. I had chosen to use smaller pupils for this scene to really exaggerate the shocked expression on the turtles face.
Test shots
Testing for the wide shot on the beach. – This is to really show the audience how small the baby turtle is in comparison to its surroundings and dangers.
Experiments
These are some experiments I have conducted with the first scene and figuring out how the pulled cotton wool looks as that foam of the wave. In my opinion, I don’t think it works well and will be doing this scene without them. However it was still very interesting trying this out.
