Week 7

HARGH

MARTHERFARKER!

this week we learned about Field Guides and Overlay / Underlays.

Confusing much!

it wasnt one of my favorite tutes im not gonna lie, (dont stress mark, it wasnt the teaching, it was just the content confused me a little!)

but i summed up what i think i know lol.

i just hope to god im right.

otherwise im up shits creek without a paddle!

GAY!

aherm *clears throat*

GRATICULE
a grid system that has a ratio aspect of 1:3/4 (Box Television) or 1:9/16 (Widescreen).
Horizontal measurements = blocked in inch sections
Vertical measurements = are blocked in 3/4 of an inch
Why? This is the size and settings of most television and theatrical movies.

The grid system of the graticule is used to accurately create field guides in the layout department.
These field guides are what the camera will see in the scene. The graticule grid system can be
purchased at a 12 Field (FLD) maximum, a 16 FLD maximum and at a 32 FLD maximum sizes.

FIELD GUIDES

the layout field guides are coloured in order from BLACK, to RED, then BLUE
A = created for each scene using the graticule to show how much imagery the camera will see.

B = 2 portions to the field guide. outer line - shows the field size while
inner line shows the television cut off

Tv Cut Off - the portion of the field guide known as the safety zone.

The animation peg bar ruler
is measured in 20ths of an inch. So no to rulers.
peg bar ruler = measure the distance of pan.

Pan Details
A pan = long piece of artwork that has more than one 12 FLD page in length.
camera can move anywhere within the one 12 FLD sheet.
Camera directions = recorded on first field guide in the top left hand corner.

info shows = direction, start + finish of pan.

Pan/Camera Directions
A 1st Field Guide = BLACK pencil lines
B 2nd FG = RED lines
C 3rd FG = BLUE lines

This is an example of top peg labeling. Note the position of where the POS is placed. Never write over, or allow division by the peg hole, as info can be lost.

LO¢, = (left of centre)

Artwork Information Box
The bottom right corner of any layout page is an information box. Be it a circle, a box or a line
separating the details, the information states:

Ø PRODUCTION
Ø NAME,
Ø SHOW NUMBER,
Ø SCENE NUMBER ELEMENT TYPE.

Additional Poses
All layout poses are drawn in blue.
red arrows are drawn near the pose or action.
naming of props + characters = marked in black.

LAYOUT = OVERLAY / UNDERLAY

An overlay/underlay is a level of non-animated artwork, designed to assist in creating depth.

Held Cels (HC)
Held cels are separate elements, which at some point in time, will be animated.

This is a typical layout breakdown drawing of levels.

Match lines = two identically placed lines, one on the background element and one on the animation. The purpose was to allow an animated character or object move behind a
background element, without the animation interfering with that element.

Tangential Growth = Objects behind or in front that appear to grow out of
the character. Lines of two objects converge to become one line

A Match Cut = cutting to a character in the exact same pose only different angle.

A Hook-Up = cutting from one scene to the next with a character in motion.

Perspective Grids = Ensure that all characters are securely drawn on a perspective grid.

sooooo thats all of that.
i am rather confused with all this POS definition abbreviation shiiit but.
so if any of you darlings could help me
i would love you forever for it!
hugsss and schloppy kisses!
