Another slight digression from my storyboard, based mainly on circumstantial necessity. I wanted the skeleton to be visible in places beneath the fabric "skin" so literally just got my girlfriend to stitch it into the same material as I had used to make the chair. Because of this method however, the model could not support its own weight (much like a skeleton covered in the fabric from a sofa wouldn't...) so I had to use the other model as support. I was planning to split this sequence into two stages: one zoom out from the "doll's" face then a second zoom out from the happy couple, but because of the support situation I settled for one long zoom out from them both together. Once again, I think this actually worked out better than the original idea, and inspired me to reverse the opening zoom in on the moon and add it onto the end to give the impression of one very long zoom out. The only problem i had with this was that the camera i was using's zoom capacity wasn't enough to keep on zooming out, so at a point i had to start moving the whole camera and tripod-resting-on-books-stacked-on-two-chairs set-up backwards to compensate, making the zoom-out inconsistent towards the end. As a result, as the head falls off the "doll" the eyes of the viewer get distracted by the inconsistency and this action is easily overlooked.
The chair with person-shaped hole, complete with stuffing and springs.
