During today’s studio session Dave and I set out to make the second half of our test clip. We found a quiet house not far from campus and took some frames of our plane. The weather was perfect so image quality was a lot better. This half of the clip includes a few interactions the plane with its environment - including an upside down loop, skip along a seat, and squeeze through some bars. Our plane also shoots up into a satellite photo and dots accross it.

We have identified a few points to improve on. We will probably shoot the entire clip again. These are:…

- To keep the camera still, not moving on angles. We want the plane to be making the aerobatics, not the camera.

- Include more paper plane movement or interactions, like a normal paper plane would - a normal paper plane doesn’t usually fly in a straight line.

- We need to take more images so that our plane has a more continuos movement, rather than skip from scene to scene. Note: we are already up to almost 200 images.

- We need to watch for our own shadows appearing in our frames. 

- Work on getting the focus right in our frames.

- Change the scale of the satellite image. We need a street scale image, rather than city scale.

- Make a better paper plane. This one has uneven wings which is obvious in close up photos from behind.
