Just a lil one
Theres a Dust Simulation (pretty bad Res) on my blog. - guy looking through the slits
Important Info for Joshy!
If you can get a rough (sketch) expression sheet of the hitman and target done over the next few days that would be wicked. Can wait until the weekend if you like. Maybe give Ferhan a hand in researching blend shapes for the face as he may need some assistance.
Cheers buddy.
Cheers buddy.
Important Info for Ferhan!
Just spoke to Edge, he said to complete the blend-shape for the facial expressions before rigging the characters, or later it will cause major bruck-up problems. I suggest you stop rigging for the moment and research blend-shapes for the face and set driven keys for the face.
If you can get some done without an expression sheet, that would be cool for now. Make sure you have a clear understanding of the process of blend-shaping by next week.
Any problems, give myself or dan a shout. Stu might also have an idea. If know idea we'll have to get together next monday, when Jared is in to disscuss the issues (if any).
Hope all goes well mate.
Speak to you soon.

Finality
Right so, they removed my foot from the monitor and I merged them vertices like they ain't never been merged before. They were like `OMG HE MERGED US UP SOMETHING FIERCE!`
Well anyway, the Hitman is finished, EXCEPT! for a little bit at the back of his neck which I'm really not cool with at the moment. But I'm too tired right now to deal with it so i'll just keep tweaking it till he needs to be bound to the rig.
I hope it's alright for y'all.
Ferhan just let me know when you need it for rigging and I'll send it over.
Probably see y'all tomorrow.
Screenplay Updated
WHACK’D SCREENPLAY
INT. APARTMENT - DAY
[Fade in from black]
A door opens, casting light and the shadow of a figure into a dark room.
The contracted killer opens his suitcase and begins to assemble his rifle. He positions himself at the window and begins to look through the scope to focus on the various windows of a Motel across the road. Finding the correct room, he then begins to take aim and zooms in slowly.
INT. MOTEL ROOM - DAY
A man (target) is inside the room drinking a can of beer, we see a bullet travel past and miss. Due to the volume of the TV (news programme) he doesn't realise anything at this point.
INT. APARTMENT - DAY
The Hitman, getting slightly agitated and reloading as quick as he can taking aim and firing a couple more rounds off. Again looks through the rifle scope and begins to look more frantic.
INT. MOTEL ROOM - DAY
The target, still drinking his beer but this time he goes to take a swig and a bullet hits his can causing it to leak all over him. Realising he's being targeted he ducks down in his seat then jumps to the window. Poking his head round the corner more bullets come through the window causing him to jump back. He then lowers the window blinds obscuring the Hitman's view.
INT. APARTMENT - DAY
The Hitman is really worried at this point, reloading and shooting more often. POV shot, the scope darting around, looking for a shot.
INT. MOTEL ROOM - DAY
Cutting back to the target we see him slide down the wall in fear. He peers out through the blinds to see the Hitman running across the road with a pistol in his hand still shooting at the window.
The Hitman smashes through the door. The door smashing causes the target to fly back and land on his back. The Hitman appearing to be out of ammo he throws a knife. Missing the target once again.
At this point we see the target looking down his body, his hands patting himself down, checking if he’s been hit. Backing away from the Hitman in fear until stopped by something behind him.
Out of frame a hand falls on his shoulder causing him to jump.
Fast camera zoom out. The target realising that there’s a MASSIVE (mountain) pile of bodies (assassins) dressed in black with knives and silenced pistols etc.
He jumps up and grabs the Hitmans leg in fear...shaking (like a baby).
EXT. STREET - DAY
The Hitman, successfully completed his mission and walks outside, the target still clutching his leg.
Outside, more assassins in the parking lot (swords, cracking necks and knuckles). The Hitman, looking annoyed gets ready for action and closes the door behind him.
[Possible extended ending with tracking shot]
End credits.

Dough!!!
Sam... Minimum Order for Krispy Kremes are 12 Dozen... Means we guna have to go all out ... also have to book two weeks in advance to get the order. Could Do a Fundraiser 2 weeks from now... One Wednesday Lunch Time? What you think?
Possible Ending
Ok... This IS WAYYYY to fast. I know this. lol but I'd just thought I'd put it up anyway... rather than ending the way we have done we have like a pan around the ninjas in the car park before the hitman walks into the camera drawing his gun --- as he walks INTO the camera it cuts to black as he walks over it.
I was only considering this as it seems we have a bit of an odd situation where we had it all lined up when he goes to the door... but then we see the ninjas... how I don't know ... I know we want to see behind them looking in ... so i prepose this kinda shot. Its hard to show you without actually having the timing there so I'll attempt to explain it in WORDS :s
First bit through the legs is a realisation so should be slow ... let the audience take it in and you see a ninja just step forward just by a crack his neck (this is from a distance)
Secondly once through the hitman's legs the camera pans right quick quickly (the through the hole shot may WELL be cut... i'm liking it less and less). Its a quick spin around the space between the front door (which the hitman is now taking a step out of to get a better view) and the ninjas themselves.
Once it reaches the ninja up the top of the telephone wire the camera slows down. Still focusing on the hitman and characters below (ninja up here out of focus) you see the ninja draw a sword as the camera moves with this.... it speeds up again as he finishes drawing it....
Back to street level...
We see the crowd drawing closer to the hitman and we see the hitman look left and right.... then he moves forwards ... camera moves into him.... as he draws his gun. and cut to Black.
DON'T WATCH THIS UNTIL YOU HAVE READ ABOVE!!!!
Now watch the film (bad timing)...please note... N Stands for Ninjas
DON'T WATCH THIS UNTIL YOU HAVE READ ABOVE!!!!

It was a TINY render - only 2mb :p

update
I was hoping to be showing y'all the finished hitman and I should be because I was bloody close to finishing it but I just got like 4 fatal errors in a row just trying to merge verts and I lost patience with it. So we're all going to have to wait another day while the doctors remove my foot from the monitor and patch it up.
Basically he is finished it's just a matter of putting the head on the body, I had to change the hair on him a little to make it work but it's aight.
Anyway look forward to my final update on the Hitman tomorrow.
