Animatic Round 2

Since our story board creation we have had a lot of input regarding our shots for the animatic an we have already gone through 2-3 versions of our animatic. Creating the animatic has given us a better insight into how we want to portray certain things, such as the tempo of the piece, the transitions we want to incorporate and ofcourse the fact that we will definitely need to have our music composed.

We don't, want the music to drive our piece it should be the other way round. The line of action is coming across wrong in some of the shots, but we will figure it out. Shooting the action will be a very crucial addition, and will allow us to understand better what we want to portray.

This is our "second" attempt at the final animatic. I'm sure we are going to change it around and make some more editing changes as we go down the way. We have some great story boards to work with and to finally see something as whole as the animatic is very exciting.

To put this together we had to dive into FCP (not one of my favourite programs). Being a PC person I struggle a little with Macs, but since the programs are the same I always manage to work around the Mac. FCP was a whole different ball game. knowing very little about FCP and how it works, it was a real task to get the animatic done exactly how we wanted to.

The result was great, and looking at all the frames together like this gave us an opportunity to understand better the timing of our whole piece. We already cut out a few shots and made them optional, and changed around the timing for some of the shots.

So here goes, see the first round of our animatic (more like 5-6th...ha).
