NEW SPECS!!
Use PAL w720 x h576 standard (not widescreen) to render it out, as a Quicktime MOV format. BUT remember that the projection is rotated 90 degrees onto its side. so that it is a standing rectangle. Clockwise anticlockwise does not matter!
and for the wall 1920 x 1080 HD. render as again a Quicktime MOV format.

Environment Space
hey guys heres a rough draft of the Exhibition Space!
paper is back projected on. Remi has the Gates of Hell wall out the front, an also a scene at the start of the falling through hell environment wall.
u dont have to create animations for the paper plynths! u can use them as colour enhancers for your major environment wall. or simple strobes, anything.
Also for sound try and keep it to sound effects only. we will try and have an overall sondtrack to keep the environment consistent.

Things we need in Week 5
Dimensions of animation:
for paper: 201 x 576 px
for bg wall: 1920x1080px (HD 16:9)
Length of animaiton
big:30sec
small: 30sec
(max 30 sec, min20, both animations for the background wall and the paper sides must run for exactly the same length of time. this is for compiling at the end we can stick both parts together. ie if the background wall animation is 26 seconds the paper animations have to run for 26 seconds. this can simply be black projections for the time that they are not in use.)
Each person: 2 pieces of animation, one for each dimension (if u want to contribute more on the paper, make 3 ^^)

New Theme is Divine Comedy: Dante's Inferno
Gate of Hell Dante passes through the gate of Hell, which bears an inscription, the ninth (and final) line of which is the famous phrase "Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate", or "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here".
Hell Layer 1 (limbo) Unbaptized. People who did no crime but don’t believe in god go here. Described as being a green field with a castle. They are meant to be a bunch of old people here.
2 (Lust) Souls are blown about in a constant storm.
3 (Glutton) Guarded by Cereberus. Thos who are gluttons are forced to lie in a vile slush made by freezing rain, black snow, and hail. This is meant to symbol the garbage the sinners feasted upon while living.
4 (Avarice) Those who hoarded possessions and those who squandered them go here. The two groups joust with giant weighted bags. So, a bunch of guys with heavy bags.
5 (Wrathful) A swamp, the river Styx. The wrathful fight each other on the surface while underneath the slothful lie around gurgling under water.
6 (Heretics) Here the sinners are trapped in flaming tombs
7 Entry is guarded by minotaur. 3 rings in this layer
Outer ring- violent people are immersed in boiling blood. A centaur goes around shooting arrows at people trying to escape.
Middle ring- Suicides are turned into thorny bushed and trees. They are torn apart by harpies. Their corpses hang from the limbs of the trees.
There are others that run around being chased by dogs who tear them apart.
Inner Ring- Blasphemers, sodomites and those who cause chaos are here. Blasphemers lie on the sand, chaos causers sit on the ground and sodomites wander in groups. They are in a desert of flaming sand with firey flakes raining from the sky.
8 (Fraud and Treachery) Divided into Bolgia (evil pockets)
Bolgia 1- Pimps are marched in line and whipped for eternity
Bolgia 2- Flatterers are steeped in human excrement
Bolgia 3- Peope are placed head first in rock with flames burning their feet
Bolgia 4- Sorcerers and false prophets have their heads twisted around on their bodies backwards. They also cry so much they can’t see.
Bolgia 5- Corrupt politicians are immersed in a lake of boiling black pitch. They are guarded by demons called “Evil Claws”
Bolgia 6- Hypocrites walk around wearing lead cloaks. There is a man cruficied to the ground here while people walk over him.
Bolgia 7- Thieves are guarded by a centaur and are bitten by snakes and lizards. They may turn to ash, mutate or turn into lizards themselves.
Bolgia 8- Fraudulent advisors are incased in individual flame.
Bolgia 9- A sword wielding demon hacks at those who cause discord. They heal and then get hacked again
Bolgia 10- A whole bunch of people are afflicted with disease
9 Divided into 4 rounds
Round 1 to 3- Cain, people are immersed into ice up to their faces. Their tears freeze their eyes open
Round 4- Here is Satan. >_> Go look up his description yourself
