Today was the official start of our project. It began with a late start trying to set up our camera's white balance and zoom. We also did some changes to our original plan about starting with the cocoon on a branch rather than using the tree as an establishing shot. After some time, things fell into place and began to move rhythmically.
One part that is unique about this section of the project is the transition at the end by tearing the paper. The transition starts with a tear down the center and gradually tears both sides to create a hole in the middle of the paper.
By the end of the day we have finished one quarter of the project using charcoal. Tomorrow we will finish the second half using charcoal and also begin the sand portion. It may have taken some more time than expected to finish today, but tomorrow things should run more smoothly. Before we quit for the day we put the pictures into Adobe Premiere and ran them through several times. Overall it ran very fluidly. Now the question of the night is "how will this section will work with the others?" specifically with the sand and the charcoal. It is probably best not to worry about it until we start tomorrow. Once some of the sand is on glass, then we can decide how it will blend with the charcoal.
On a side note, the weather this week has been really odd. Tropical Storm Bonnie has been rearing her head constantly but has not brought the heavy rain and winds that were forecast.
