A small update on progress of the Motorbike Chase sequence's development. Storyboarding is still underway, but about 1/3 is finished. In the meantime, I can share with you a couple of rough tests for different elements of this incredibly complex chase.
As you can see, most of the vehicles are working quite well. There are problems with them that are somewhat unavoidable (like how the vehicles 'snap' into place during their turning animation) when I'm animating them, but I will use some careful editing to limit the issues to a degree.
What I haven't shown in this video is what I call the backdrop stage, which is where I film all the closeups and mid-shots of the passengers in the vehicles using a video playing on a backdrop behind them. Here is an example in a still, which has a blank backdrop as a placeholder:
And so there you go! There's still quite a bit of work to do on the sequence, but everything is coming along nicely for the most part bar a few limitations from Moviestorm's method of animating vehicles. Next time this blog is updated, there should be a video showing all of the completed storyboards in order. At least, that's the plan.
