We came together and viewed all 9 animatics we had. Main changes that needed to be made were to do with framing and compositions. We had to make sure that every ident ended with the square in the right place for the final logo to show. I had made a basic document with the final logo sized on a plain white 16:9 document. This gave some proper proportions and a consistent position and scale for us all to work to.
The biggest change was probably to do with Alex's dinosaur animatic. We thought that it simply had too many shots in it which made it feel very fast. All of the other idents have been rather slow and calm with very few hard cuts. Alex redrew and re-edited this one to be much more in keeping with the pacing and style of the other idents.
Chloe's excavation had been done with a panning birds eye shot, whereas we had previously discussed it being a zoom out from the woman to end with the logo being in full frame ready to transition. This was an easy fix since she had already drawn the most zoomed out version of the shot so all she had to do was change the keyframes to scale instead of pan.
For the rest of the week we all started working on backgrounds and starting actual production. For this, Alex and I recorded 2 reference videos. He filmed me walking up and brushing off the logo as the caveman in his second ident. He then also recorded me 'floating' in space and then grabbing on to the passing logo which I will use quite loosely.
