WK 2 PITCH/CRIT NOTES

- we need to research green screen floating

- a recognizable form of negative attitudes

- reasons why he's fighting himself

- fighting different tiers of himself

- chromatic scale just white

- mirrored image of himself

- main score should be subdued

- equipment room for sound room

- talk to paul

- ending

- preserticebility

- looks like he is being overcomes, not submissive

- whether you have a neg/positive attitude

- revelation scene?

- starwars --> jedi --> samurai --> buddhist

- unbalanced, now balanced at end.  new form of self in end

- samurai jack

- nega scott

notes after saturday meeting regarding vfx

now that everyone has an idea of realflow and water particle making, I think we need to investigate the smoke making and in-camera paint effects.

doug and jason: investigate krakatoa and 3ds max for cg smoke effect
steve and chris: investigate props and skin applicable paint for in-camera effect and face paint
