Figure 01. The Third Version of Alan's Eye Patch
Figure 02. This was the second version of the eye patch but after the words 'it looks like he has a tumour' a re-design was in order.
Opinions?

Figure 01. Eye Patch Without Stars & Stripes
Figure 02. Eye Patch With Stars & Stripes
Out of these two I think Figure 01. so the face is less busy

Narrative : Old 8mm + Narration Visual Test
Here's a sample of;
Some Narration, 2 render passes, 8mm Old Film Multiply Layer & some Vinyl Crackles and Scratches.
In Adobe Premier Pro, I selected the voice clips and added High-pass: 287.74, and Lowpass: 3154.56 - This gives the aged technology sound
The Vinyl Crackles and Scratches I put on loop and reduced the volume to -16
The background image is a normal pass + Ambient Occlusion pass with Max Distance of 200
The 8mm film layer was added in Adobe After Effects as a multiply layer above the rendered image, I applied Time-Reverse to the layer, expanded it so the black frame was less prominent and dropped the opacity to 50%
Narrative : Ambient Occlusion Passes
I tried out some more AO Passes as the first attempt had no Max Distance, thats why it was so dark
Figure 01. AO Pass : Max Distance 10
Figure 02. AO Pass + Normal : Max Distance 10
Figure 03. AO Pass : Max Distance 25
Figure 04. AO Pass + Normal : Max Distance 25
Figure 05. AO Pass : Max Distance 50
Figure 06. AO Pass + Normal : Max Distance 50
Figure 07. AO Pass : Max Distance 75
Figure 08. AO Pass + Normal : Max Distance 75
Figure 09. AO Pass : Max Distance 100
Figure 10. AO Pass + Normal : Max Distance 100
Figure 11. AO Pass : Max Distance 200
Figure 12. AO Pass + Normal : Max Distance 200
I think 200 is the best
Narrative : Old 8mm Film Effect
I had a discussion with Tom Beg a while ago about the old film look he gave his Life Cycle of a Mushroom
we also discussed how to alter the clip to make it less generic as its often used.
Here's the clip
And a link to applying it to our animation thanks to Video CoPilot
I think the footage as it is is far too strong for our animation, perhaps testing a reduction in opacity and flipping the footage to reverse plus expanding it to remove most of the thick black border
Narrative : Early Render Testing
I've been looking at how our character fits into his world, and I wanted to do a couple of render tests to add to this
Figure 01. Normal Render Pass
Figure 02. Ambient Occlusion Render Pass
Figure 03. Normal + A.O. Passes
None of the lighting has been done yet as that is further in the process, I'm just testing how to place him into existence.
This is so exciting, I can't wait to see him move.
Narrative : Character Texturing Test 01
Figure 01.
Figure 02.
Figure 03.
Figure 04.
This is the basic look for our character, I'll need to sort the UVs out again to stop this stretching.
Next I shall import him into our scene to make sure the grey scale is not clashing.
