Week 9: Start Final Project

This week we started our final projects, and the first thing I wanted to do was block out the sequences for the trailer. I knew I wanted to have smooth and clean shots between all the monuments, which meant using less keyframes when sequencing it out. I then had to decide the order I wanted the monuments to go in. I looked at a map of Paris on Google and wanted to find the best route for traveling so the camera wasn't jerking in all different directions. I decided that the best route was to start at the Pantheon and continue to the Eiffel Tower, Arc, Palais Garnier, Louvre, and end with the Notre Dame. This way the flyovers would be smooth and continuous as the monuments go around in a circle. Below is a visual to help understand the flow of the shots.
