After getting some feedback from the group, Michelle Z and I discussed which necessary cuts needed to be made for the final clip.

00:01-00:06 - Intro [Water boiling, chopping]
00:06-00:09 - Turn to fridge [Water boiling, faint fridge noise]
00:09-00:12 - [Fridge opening, fridge noise intensifies. High Heels Footsteps. Acoustic begins.]
00:12-00:16  "Oh, hello." VO Butter
00:16-00:19 Butt shot "We meet again." VO Butter (Cut 1 second here, too long)
00:19-00:22 "Not by choice." VO Michelle Z
00:22-00:31 "Oh? Is that cooking I smell? *Sniff sniff* Hmm...wouldn't it taste better with me?" VO Butter
00:30-00:33 Blank stare by Michelle Z
00:33-00:37 "Hmph, I am the cream of the crop." VO Butter
00:37-00:40 "Well..." VO Michelle Z
00:40-00:42 "S-spread the love!" VO Butter
00:42-00:46 "Look, I'm flattered, but-" VO Michelle Z (Cut 1 second here, before the line. Too delayed. 00:40.80-00:41.70 *note: This cut actually rushed the reaction from Michelle Z too much and made it more awkward. Left it as it was.)
00:46-00:51 "But you can't churn me down! I'm high-end creamy blend!" VO Butter
00:51-00:53 "And I'm lactose intolerant." VO Michelle Z (Line comes in too fast, changed the timing back to the original.)
00:53-00:54 "GASP!" VO Butter (Moved further back because of previous line)

In this version, I fixed all of the timing as well as edit some of the clips to better fit the pacing. The audio is now synced with the live action video as well.

Cinematic Production: Final Shot Painting & Sound Design WIP

Final Shot Painting
For this week I finished off the painting for the final shot.

This shot had the wrong lighting, which I only just realized after having completed it. The light source is coming from beneath butter, so the shadows should be more apparent for the northern areas of his face.

This is the shot with the correct lighting. I also added in gradient map and soft brush lighting to enhance the lighting above the lineart and to just cement the idea that the light source is directly underneath him.

Feedback: Everyone in the group was satisfied with the shot. Zack suggested making the lines more 'pencil-like', but everyone else liked the rough crayon/marker combination for the brush strokes.

00:01-00:03 - Intro [Water boiling, chopping]
00:03-00:10 - Turn to fridge [Water boiling, faint fridge noise]
00:10-00:12 - [Fridge opening, fridge noise intensifies. Acoustic begins.]
(Change) 00:12-00:16 Needs to be extended for about a second just give enough time for Butter to realize that the fridge was just opened and to say, "Oh, hello." Noted Michelle Z. to extend this shot.
00:16-00:19 Butt shot "We meet again." VO Butter
00:19-00:22 "Not by choice." VO Michelle Z
(Change) 00:22-00:30 Needs extension of 2 seconds to fit in these lines. "Oh? Is that cooking I smell? *Sniff sniff* Hmm...wouldn't it taste better with me?" VO Butter
00:30-00:32 Blank stare by Michelle Z
00:32-00:36 "Hmph, I am the cream of the crop." VO Butter
00:36-00:40 "Well..." VO Michelle Z

Cinematic Production: Butter's VO Lines by Nick "Muggington" & Final Shot Draft

Upon reviewing the test lines that I had received from Nick, I decided to go into a Skype call with him this week to direct him as to how to makes his lines feel more believable, entertaining and to also improve on some of the timing. With the line "Wouldn't it be better with me?", we decided a lot more intonation to both halves of the sentence, as well as a pause for the dramatic turn Butter will make during this shot.
