LOS Machinima; Segment #1 Opening

And now the hardness begins, planning shots and shot ordering…

*Update;
After trying to plan the opening I realised they it may not be worth the effort to plan it, as this segment will have an insane amount of cuts with what being used purely depending on how ‘cool’ it and thus it will be nearly impossible to set what has to shown without shafting the segment (hope that made sense).

Instead for this segment I will be just listing the ‘must have’ shots and leaving the rest for the editing process.
Blu side

  1. The following shots will all be rapidly shown spliced with the red team getting ready
    1. Spy reloading gun - dollying in (di) - slow motion
    2. Spy flourishing gun (di)
    3. Spy holding knife (di)
    4. Spy flourishing knife (di)
    5. Spy holding sapper (di)
    6. Spy holding cig case (di)
    7. Spy flourishing cig case (di)
  2. Camera dollying in across the prep room towards spy (slowly)
  3. Spy passing knife from one hand to another (slow motion)

Red Side

  1. Red team in a huddle in their prep room
  2. Red team running out of prep room
  3. Shot from outside the fort of Red Team setting up
  4. Engineer building turret beside bridge (camera float down from heavy on top of fort)
    1. Also in same shot, pyro running out of fort and standing beside bridge

*Edit #2
It just occurred to me that I could reduce the amount of rapid shots by overlaying the shots using mattes(which I spent many hours learning to use in one of my previous video projects).
