The one hour presentation in front of the After Effects class at UAB went well, and 14 students are showing an interest in the project so far. The teacher said they would get extra credit for participating, and that is good for all of us. We will do another presentation in front of the 3D Modeling class, an hopefully enlist more help next week.
Now, I need to put together a HI DEF 1920x1080 Storyboard, and break up the project in sequences with a few key frames that can be given to the students with instructions for the animation: curtain opening, medal dropping, bats flying, etc...
The original storyboard was 1280x800, the maximum definition of my projector, and the 1920x1080 format is more oblong, so we have extra vertical space, and I am considering extending the roof line about 4 feet with panels, and have stuff happen above the building: flames, smoke, hands animating string puppets, balloon rolling off, dog walking on the roof, etc... Todd is suggesting using smoke, and that could definitely be interesting if we can control it, but the wind could be a problem.
