Free to Animate

After a few weeks of finishing off the animatic, and after weeks of feedback from professionals from the animation world I am ready to animate.

The feedback from the last few weeks have been positive, which include laughing, laughing and more laughing as positive feedback. Some of the negative feedback, I would not called negative but probably on how to improve it; is to make sure the Claudius character has a strong voice, make sure the characters colours are right such as make sure the Essex characters are bronze, and finally with the right voice actors it can reduce the animation time down 30 seconds less to animate. But, the best bit of feedback is my animation is like horrible histories meet Viz magazine, which was nice.

Finally, I have got my voice actors in place, and also I have found a composer in place for animation as-well giving me ideas what sounds I can use for the animation so far.

First thing tomorrow I am going start to animate my final year animation.

Bye.

Got some bad news

Last week, we showed off our animatics to Shelly Page, which below was a little bit of a much cleaner version of the animatic in places and added one more establish shot to the animation.

Feedback it was funny with a few people laughing at it. But, sadly a few criticism, which included too many talking heads, too many lip-syncing to do in the time, there was also a criticism that the animation lived its live after the first scene, which I disagree with.

And the big thing that was removed I have to do due to many criticisms and opinions that the West Hammus scene has been too cut, due to too many characters to animate and possibly a very limit minded jokes that the audience won’t understand with, unless you are a West Ham fan. Anyway we have rewritten (cut and chop) a new script with an old scene from the previous script we have placed in and used that to re-draw the animatic. New animatic in the next post.

Bye.

Storyboards and animatic for forth coming project.

Storyboards and animatics for the forth coming project with the British Postal Museum and Archive (BPMA). First I started off by drawing down my storyboards for this project on how it going to look like.

Then, I started on the animatic, I went into Premier to do this and added all of my sounds effects I have created and added the storyboard images and place them into Premier to create the animatic below shows.

After I done this, I got some feedback, and the main problem was I needed to make the animation much longer, as I made it too fast to understand. Then I went back to Premier to update the animatic and make it much longer as possible as this animatic below shows.

After I done that, I went back for some feedback, I needed to add a few more frames to be added in. After I draw them and added them into Premier. Below is the final animatic I have created.

Now I start to animate this project now and do the development work.

Bye.
