Rough Cut Review of the animation so far, with the Key frame animation so far in for review for the 22nd May meeting with the British Postal Museum and Archive (BPMA) as the video below shows.

For feedback and the main one I got to do, is to add a final scene to the animation. And the final scene I ask for feedback is the St Martins-le-Grand building in Central London, as this link shows.

So I used the St Martins-le-Grand building above for my final scene as reference, as the image below shows.

Finally, another bit of feedback is to make the animation a bit more gritty in style or more old fashion. This can be easily done with filters in After Effects. And that is all with feedback so far.

Then I continue with character designs more with some more drawings with some added colour below.

Then I gone into Illustrator, this time I drawn down what the characters will look like in Illustrator, would be easily to animated in After Effects.

Instant feedback, I needed to added some rough outside lines to the characters which I’ve shown in the concept art perviously showed.

So I went back to drawing board and added some rough outside lines to the characters in Illustrator as shown below.

Now it’s time to animate in After Effects.

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.

Concept art for the forth coming project with the British Postal Museum and Archive (BPMA). This was done due to sell our concept work to a student composer, who will collabrorate to do our soundtrack for our final animation.

Thankfully, I have done a good enough job selling my concept art and exlaining the animation to a composer, as I found a composer who would do the music for theforth coming animation.

Next job, this to finish off the storyboard’s and animatic’s.
