Animatic, shot 1

Today we began production of the animatic.

It’s going to be made a little strangely, as among the group we decided who would take which scene. i wanted to see where everybody’s style and strengths lie, therefore everyone can work where their skills will be most valuable within the production of the animation itself.

Here’s the animatic of the first shot.

The first attempted was me seeing how the perspective worked from transition of a birds eye view to a landscape view. this is shot a 4FPS after going over it with the team we decided the first position needed to last longer.

The second is added detail to enforce perspective and some extra frames for it to flow better.

The aim is to have an animatic by midweek next week latest with some sound to go along with it.
