Updated animatic

animatic of the images of the storyboard in order to have a feel of how long the actual short film will last.....using the storyboards which steph had done for me i was able to make a animatic so i could see what would be happening in each scene, and have a realistic time of how long the film will actually last.
It needs a little speeding up but its fantastic to actually see it coming together as it is. This was just the initial stage i know looking at it now 4 mins could easily be cut down to 2.30.....but the promising thing is i dont have to explain what goes on in each scene.

Updated storyboards ( Thank you Steph)

 After showing Stephhanie my storyboards....and very rough animatic she was interested in doing my storyboards....she wouldnt take no for a answer (animatic showed quite a bit needed to changed to get the flow right) so we had a discussion on what i wanted to keep and change since my first animatic showed alot of the shots had to be changed  .....since she wants to be a storyboard artist and ive seen what she can do i was very happy to get Steph on board. She hasnt dissapointed at all so im extremely pleased. Check her blog out in the link below......

Im extremly happy with this, it gives me great ground to work on my film for next year and what is the most pleasing bit of all we have stuck to my initial idea. So again im going to say well....well done.

Animatic (test for timing......seriously this is a test thts why there are stick men running around)

Animatic research
When it came down to the animatic i looked at several other animatics to get a look at what i should be aiming for further down the line.

ok its being a pain and wont upload prob for the best till the finished polished version is done. But the timing is around 3mins to 3.30 long got a few issues to sort out the timing and the positions of a few cameras to sort. Still got plenty of tme to do it in......

Storyboards

Storyboards

  This is my film i want to do, this is the initial planning obviously we have no idea what the timing will be, or how it will work but im really pleased to have the initial plans on paper, now i can go into flash and make an animatic giving us a better idea of the timing involved.

Well this is my initial story done very rought and well be developed further, now the story.....What is it??? its a chase short in which we have a main character who is a thief being chased by a bounty hunter after coming across a wanted poster of the thief, now our chase is played at a fanatic pace.....involving boats giant inflatable ducks and a mime.....

the animatic will have the film shown to a much clearer level.

I have an idea of how i want this short to go from the story board so i just have to play around tweaking a few scenes...working on how i want a few of these layouts are going to look.

Concept designs (warning my scanner is awful.....)

And this is the opening scene that i will be building, unlike the image before you i am going to add more to it to give it a sense of a busy market, but it also has to be visually brilliant.

As you can see i have a rough idea how i wish the set up to be, this has been taken into account when the animatic had been done giving my character an enviroment to run through. Its a big city with a market in the center and alot of old buildings from a less developed area taking inspiration from uncharted 3, assassin's creed, but i have to remember that in the opening scene we have a bounty hunter, and a thief and what kind of enviroment you would find these people....aladdin was my initial inspiration but a bit more modern with the whole layout. I have  to remember that in the animatic my character is handling a axe so he a that type of bounty hunter.

Props and stalls that will be throughtout the opening scene in the diagram below you can see that i have planned how the chase will go through the opening scene...all the way to the docks but check the animatic to see for yourself.

Inspiration France

In part of my short we have the characters in france its very important to take on the architecture....doesnt hurt to have a bit of reference to inspire you.

Why France

My idea, part of the film will take place here, however i must say i will most likely not have time to model that scene.Again i most likely being way too ambitious but i know what i do want to do for next year. It doesnt hurt to be forward planning, this will be the set for which our thief who is on the run meets the mime who will be here.
