Animatic

Hello everyone and no one =)
Ive spent the past week painstakingly putting together a full animatic of the film. This is a step I always skipped in the past, and my films have suffered because of it. For those that dont know, and animatic is basically a virtual version of a storyboard. Timing, camera angles, even dialogue can be tweaked here. Right now i have about 1 minute of a 15-20min film. It takes time and that sucks, but its fun to see the film finished before its finished. If that makes sense.

Story is king

Ive spent the past 3 weeks working on the story. The first thing I did when I started this project was write a solid summary. I then moved into writing the script (about 20 pages). After working on the characters and environments for a while, I decided to revisit the story. Basically there was one aspect bothering me. It was part of the ending. So, I went back, took my time, and came up with something that I think works great. So, with all that said, Im finally back on track. This weekend I plan on doing some voice recording and also plan to start the animatic/storyboard. Thats it!
