Chase (animatic)

Storyboarded a chase scene from a script. Since I had the materials already, why not make it into a semi-animatic? All SFX obtained from freesound.org



On review: Some scenes went on for too long, dictated by the sound file which was created first before the video - I overestimated the length of the shots. Tightening up the speed of the shots could make the animatic more interesting and engaging with the chase.

Here are 2 pages out of 9 of the storyboard panels drawn.




..and the turnarounds for the characters. Yes, they do have names :)

11-second Club NOVEMBER 2012

So this was my submission to the 11-second Club November 2012. Spent about 10ish days on it from character turnarounds to this *finished state.



On hindsight now, thanks to some feedback I've gotten, I should have planned the shot a bit better. I was rushing into the animating and lip sync part, I'd neglected planning. I really shouldn't have started inking and painting but I'd wanted to see what the finished product could look like.. not a good idea competition-wise but glad I did.


Some preparatory stuff I did prior to animating. I realise it was hard to keep him on model once I started! And....holds! *slaps forehead* Had I known that concept beforehand...gosh, could have saved so much work.
