Animatic 02

After showing my lecturer and getting some feedback on my first animatic. We decided it needed some fading in and outs in scenes and some shots needed to hold a few more seconds. Plus, I added in some more drawings so it is almost an animation, slightly. Here is my second draft animatic.

Animatic 01

Here is my first rough animatic. This actually is the animatic for my old storyboard before I made my final new storyboard. But it gives you an idea how its gonna look and how the camera will move etc.

I edited and composited my animated on After Effects. 

Storyboard 03

Finally, done my final draft storyboard. I feel the story makes a lot more sense and needed to be longer. I feel adding the 50 years later part is a great way to show that this repetition keeps happening and shows that even in 50 years these two are still living together and doing what their daily routine.

Layouts

Having a break from storyboarding and decided to design the final layouts for my piece. Not sure if these will be used but its just to give the viewer an idea what my scene would look like if it was completed and fully animated. 

These are the initial final drawings which were then put into photoshop and developed and coloured. 

Storyboard 02

After showing my first draft to one of my lecturers, my storyboard has a really nice opening but struggles to explain the relationship between my two characters. I need to show that these two characters are friends and live in this house together, so i decided to add in some drawings of the character cooking and both characters interacting with a hello gesture. I think this is much better than the first draft and explains the relationship a little bit better. But i feel something still needs adding...

Storyboard 01

And here is my first draft of the storyboard, I decided to use post it notes because there will be a lot of changes so this made the process easier.

Prop Designs

Theres not many props in my story but I thought it was a good idea to do some designs and show my skills not just in characters but also objects. Props are just as important as the characters. 

The second part of my story shows my characters in 50 years time. Here are the designs I came up with for them. 

Final Design

Final Design

 

This is the chosen colour I am using for my character.

After drawing up a neat version of my character I came up with these four colours for my character. 

Here is a neat up drawing of my character. After this I will colour and draw over the outlines.

Character Designs

I then came up with this character later on. I thought It would be fun to create a crocodile that he lives with and does the cooking, cleaning etc while he's out hunting. 

Hes sensible, clever , tidy , good cook and likes to be in control of everything. 

Here is a character sheet of a character i initially created with the crocodile hunter. He was meant to be his sidekick for him a bit like Mugsy for Rocky. He was a big, happy, strong but not so bright character.
