Well, this has been one work intensive and time consuming project and I loved every bit of it. This is sarcasm, but seeing the finished product, I am very satisfied with the results. I noticed that the most stressful thing out of this project was rendering! There were many failed attempts at rendering and it increased the time of production. I guess when working big, it really does make a huge difference. Also, I really did learn the power of working local than on the server. One thing I noticed was that even your files that you are using on a comp needs to be on the local system in order to get its full effect. I had a many showcase of my final project to a couple of people and they seemed to get the concept and thought it was successful. Hopefully Jill feels the same!

Schedule
By 4/17: I plan to get a third of the project done. This includes the opening scene of the powered off robot, a cut to the outside of the control room, a cut into the control room showing the scientist pressing a button to activate mechanical arm. On motion of the mechanical arm, it will cut back to the robot and the mechanical arm moving down and placing the energy ball into the robot's chest. It will then cut to a close up of robot's face indicating that it is online.
Demo Reel 3
WATCH VIDEO HERE!
The direction that this reel takes is very sleek and sophisticated. I love the introduction and how with a few words Skill Lab explained exactly what it is that they do. I love that the visual cues in this reel were based off of the audio so it kept a consistent rhythm through the reel. The beautiful contrast in each shot really caught my attention. I like that they made sure that each scene they used corresponded with the next even when they didn't seem to be from the same film project. I really enjoyed the transition between this elegant and slow beginning to a fast paced rendering of successful pieces.

Demo Reel 2
So, I love this reel for the fact that its very short and cut to the chase, yet I felt wowed by it when i watched it. The in your face position that Colin Sebestyen was well done and grabbed my attention from finish to end. I love the color gradient that is placed on the piece. I fee that it adds another element of beauty to this reel.
Demo Reel 1
I love the vintage and retro style of things and I feel that this demo reel takes it to that level of professionalism I like to see when attempting this look. I appreciate the production value that went into the title introducing Vincent VIRIOT who is the artist behind this reel. There is a theme and it corresponds with the videos very well.

Revised Idea
Elevator Pitch: In the year 3030, Scientists program a robot to have human traits and emotions.
Theme: Man vs Machine and Human strengths and will power.
The goal of the piece is encourage the knowledge of people no matter how far technology will grow in the future.
The goal of the film is to persuade the audience to not allow emotion to rule and maybe even blind them and their life decisions.
Short synopsis: In the Beginning scene we will open up with a narration, and text stating what is verbally being said by the narrator. The narration will introduce the reasoning behind the experiment. In 3026 the government ordered all states to let go all academic teachers and replace them with robots who had full curriculums and correct answers already programmed in. Technology is getting so out of hand that they feel they can use it for anything. The first teaching robots would deploy, yet they only understand right and wrong answers. Three years pass by and according to statistics the failure and dropout rate increased over these years since the robots were issued. Instead of giving the teachers their job back the government decides instead to invest money into an experiment that would give the teaching robots human traits and emotions to understand when the students need help and sympathize with a situation if needed. Once explained it will cut to a vacant lab with the exception of the robot. The control room will then be shown revealing two scientist watching. It will switch back to the robot and from a claw that the scientists are operating with from the control room will place a ball of concentrated energy into its chest. The robot will awaken and the test of emotions will begin. During this test it will switch back to the control room showing the progression of the procedure and checking off every emotion that is learned from footage. Each clip of information that the robot sees, the concentrated energy takes and formulates it into the emotion that is wanted for the robot. Once it gets to the emotions of sorrow, longing, and seeing death, and love the robot overloads and the transfer becomes incomplete and a failure. On the progress bar it will state that the robot was not strong enough for human emotion.
