set design work

I spoke to Paul about my set problems and he sat down and talked through what Iwanted from it,as my film is a short vinette thats focusing on character animation it was decided that the set was a secondary thing, I was getting a bit carried away with the mechanics of the set and Paul explained that with my film,camera angles are going to be important as the camera shots are going to be focusing quite closely on the character, with close up,medium and wide shots, we decided that the globe idea of the set would distort the image to much, and it isnt really needed, as all the set is there for is to do my establishing shot at the start of the film.

So it was suggested that I have a really long plane that slightly bends, like an horizon line, but do it so that when I do close ups of my monkey, the set will still be in view.

Paul suggested that I go back to my storyboard and nail the camera angles as best I could, so we can see exactly how the set will appear.paul also suggested iIcarry this through into an animatic.
