Animatic v1.1

This is an updated version from my first animatic. In this version I have done a bit more research on my camera positions and have taken some advice. As my scene has a lot of tension in it I have tried to use more Close Up camera views particuarlly on Volrant as this adds tension. Also whenever I have had to use a Medium shot I have tried to partner that shot with a close up to keep the tension going. Another camera shot I used is the Wide full shot which is located at the start of the scene. I have used this shot to introduce the environment so that the audience knows who is where in the scene. I may adjust the camera angles slightly when talking to tutor a bit more but overall I think I have stuck to the rules ok....

Also in this animatic I have tried to step out all three characters main poses so I can then take this file and start defining movements in the upcoming versions of the animaiton. Still alot of work ahead!!!!

Storyboard and Animatic

Storyboard sketch

I used the storyboard below to help set out my different camera angles and timing for my animatic. If I didn't do this I think my animatic would have taken a lot longer to do. Also I did this storyboard before timing it with the sound file so I had to tweak some timing for the final animatic.
