For the clients e-mail:
1. mentor
2. family members
3. save money
4. effort
5. plan
only 4 is needed to present using animation
others can be merged with Tung Chung, change it into props

in the dream
we should make audience not only concentrate on the girl
but also other concept in the background

tune down the props in the background

*mark down the camera motion eg. cut out, zoom in, zoom out

for the shot of the jumping potatoes
it can show a corner of the piano – letting people know where they come out

try to put the motion test into the animatic to see whether the angle is suitable
suggestion: save different files of each shots instead, then combine it using Premiere

Background
will it be match with the whole animation?
try to put it in the animatic too
the photo is too real
the color is too regular
the scale is too real
too much perspective

suggestion:
build a complete building
make a flat version of the scene
make the cloud more peaceful
- try to build all the things out (maybe hand drawn)
no need to make that much buildings in the scene

Props
hand-drawn – may have limitation on animating the props
recommend to use flash for props

the desk is too clean
the style should be the same with the animation
try not to introduce another styles
-keep the line quality

it would be better if the color is similar to the background
and the size of the props and the background should be matched

Sound
it has to be ready
maybe still use the last background music for the latest animatic
it is hard for others to make music with only a concept of the story
and we may ask Calvin for advice

poster
the relationship of animation and promotion items should be stronger
hand-drawn style can be one of the element to link with the animation

Cathy:
the chosen element on the poster is match
try to make a more completed version
(which can let client to make a more constructive comment)

Jasmine:
try to mix the 2 posters together

Sony:
- the line is matched
- the 2 ways to connect the poster and animation:
1. try to add the poster background texture in the background of the animation
2. the logo/slogan changes to a hand-drawn one in the animation
- keep using pencil is okay
- the logo is too balanced (maybe add a bar under it)

try to prepare the largest version of the promotion items for client
confirm and make the layout of the easy-hanger and also the folder

next meeting:
13/11/08 (Thurs) 2:15pm @Y706
