In order to maintain camera consistency we flipped the angle and widened out so that we can move the camera a little. We’ve also added a slight head movement to break the static hold, and the rest of the action can be picked up by the holographic windows in the foreground.

For the match cut (007-01) where the feed ends, we’re suggesting that we add some simple hand actions to keep it from being static and to separate it from 005 a little.

Cut 007-02 was originally matched to cut 002-01, but on further consideration 002-01 is set pretty far out for the action in 007-02. We think matching to 002-02 instead will allow us to show the same action from a better angle. We can change up the base frame easily enough to avoid making it a complete match.

“Grouped actions” are little sets of partial frames that can be intercut in multiple ways to create longer sequences. It’s important not to over-use them in rapid succesion in order to avoid echo action, but when properly composed they’re indispensable.

Cut 06 (of Scene 006) is the one in which the Patient first wakes up, groggy and disoriented. These three keys are cleaner than usual for Layout but represent a good example of final line and design. The Patient’s eyes roll without focus, his mouth shifts without words, but he’s becoming more lucid.

Cut 015 is the close-up screaming, where we see the Patient go full nutty, gems glowing and veins pumping. We’ve rotated it off the perpendicular and set up an angle that reinforces the previous shots and works as a counterpoint angle to that of the Soldier in the next cut (the headscraper). We can also incorporate rapid camera push into the Patient’s face to highlight his movement forward

Cut 09 is the first in which we see the bullet deflection effect. Similar to cut 15, except that we’re pushing out rather than in. The beginning expression of the Patient is similar to that of cut 06, but it rapidly escalates as the bullets keep coming.

The three attached clips showcase three bullet deflection effects which all wrap the flight around the ESPer but do it in slightly different ways. Let us know which one of these works best and we can refine the effect further.
