Yay animatic!

After a lot of fiddling about in trying to make the film smaller, I can now show my storyboard animatic at last. There are a few scenes that I'm not happy about such as some shots, timing etc but this is just to give you an idea of what's the story about. Hope it's clear. Also, forget about the title. I'm still not sure what to call it.

Update

I've done the animatic. Not 100% happy with it and it'll take forever to upload on youtube and I'll have to half it (need to figure out how to make it super small to be able to upload it as a whole animatic. I mean I've rendered it as a draft and half the resolution. Then on Final Cut, changed it into the format suitable for the internet...nada nada nada). So tonight, I give you the background sky. It's a test, but I will use it for the final film after I've jazzed them up in photoshop. The object at the bottom is is a trunkless tree. The top is the summer sky and below it is the spring sky and where the credit is going to roll. I've used the knowledge from the two day animation workshop at Chiddingly Festival to make this. Basically, easy peasy, coloured tissue paper stuck on tracing paper and then shone a light from the back, *click* et voila. Next step is to upload the animatic...

Hairy decisions...

I was going to ask other people's opinion of which hair she should have but then after pondering and a few votes, I think it's best when her hair isn't so big.  

Also suggestions on title without giving away too much?  Row suggested "Hair of Mystery", o ho!

Not much. Doodles of character.

Unfair...she still looks hot with a beard!

Ok, no animatic yet but LOOK! Niall sent me a pic of a bearded Salma Hayek.  Very well photoshopped.  Martin pointed out that she looks like his dad, but he is looking at her from the other side of the studio. Apparently, she's going to star as Madame Truska in Cirque du Freak, which I really want to see when it comes out.  I wonder if beards on ladies will be in fashion after this film and my soon to be amazing masterpiece animation...ha ha haaaa...SIGH.

Bearded ladies revolution!

Mim's present

Made a Rod Stewart cushion.
It's our in-joke.
No one gets it.

In Mim's crib, innit.

This is Miriam. She does design for publishing. I steal her cookies and milk and distract her from working. That is my job. Also I'm leeching her internet.

Animatic is rather delayed but still aiming to finish by tomorrow. Some time in the evening though...
Things to do:
1. line test
2. scan character design & style of animation

I really don't feel like spending the rest of the day staring at the computer on AFX...nor do I feel like walking back home in the horrible wet Norwich. Someone should hurry up in inventing the teleport machine or maybe I just have to pass my driving test.

Boo to yellow Post-it notes!!! Just the yellow ones.
